I love both! The snow white and the matilda are making my knitting fingers itch! I'd ask you to visit us on the Canada visit, but we're on the other side of the continent, in Vancouver. Dang!

I loved the pattern when I saw it in Knitty, and the idea behind it has my head spinning with possibilities. Thank you both for doing this interview.

What's weird is that it coincides with a much humbler but slightly similar project that I'm going to start on Thursday on my blog. Knitting pieces inspired or 'for' certain people, that kind of thing. What an absolutely fascinating story and interview.

Thanks so much for bringing this imaginative project to our attention. Family history is something of an obsession of mine, not just my family mind you but anyone and everyones so this was right down my alley. I don't have any questions for Emily, just a big basket full of encouragement on her project! This is extremely fascinating. Thanks so much for bringing this imaginative project to our attention.

I'd been to the family truck show web site and found it very interesting at the time. After reading this interview I'm very impressed at the time and thought put into the project. The connection between history and fashion is a new idea to me and spices up what I've always though as a boring subject. Thank you Ysolda and Emily for a very enjoyable interview.

I, therefore, loved your interview, Ysolda. Emily's concept is brilliant and I can only imagine how it could "snowball". I was wondering if Emily plans on including a design for herself, since she is part of her family tree.

I saw the lovely pattern in Knitty and was touched by Marjorie's story, but this was my introduction to the project. I'm reaching an age where some of my family members are gone, and some bits of family history with them and am starting to feel the weight of that - wanting to remember them in context and understand their backgrounds and personal history. I appreciate what you are doing, and I think it's a really wonderful way to explore your family and encourage others to do the same. I wish I could say more eloquently how it makes me feel, but really, Thank you. I look so forward to watching your project grow. Thanks Ysolda for sharing this, & Emily for sharing your project.

My father always told me stories about her growing up and she was the reason that I started knitting in the first place. She was an amazing women who even though I barely met her she still is inspiring. I really connect with the idea behind the project and her patterns are wonderful..
