Wanted: Granted

I have a thing for Cowichan sweaters, authentic or inspired-by. So when I read about this local company called Granted last year and right after saw their booth at a craft show, I fell pretty hard. But I can be quite fickle in my fashion love, and since I couldn't readily afford a $300 sweater, soon forgot about them...

...until last week, when I noticed some awesome Cowichan stuff in the window of the Japanese gift shop in the bottom of my office building. I stared in longingly every day until I gave in today and went and looked. And touched. And tried on. And went home and told my husband that I wanted a $300 sweater pretty badly. And maybe a $50 toque. I like it because it's thicker like a real Cowichan sweater, but softer and with creative designs.

And how can you not love a company that will custom-make a CBC sweater? I would totally wear the CBC symbol on a sweater, BTdubs.
