Toronto Fun

My Toronto weekend was such fun. All except the Friday weather. It was raining ridiculously hard and the wind was gusting, according to the weatherman, up to 50 K an hour. 50 K was vastly underestimated, according to my battered umbrella and wind-swept appearance .

But the weather couldn't dampen my spirits. I met up with Sel & Poivre at Romni Wools. We had a great time. We yarn shopped for a long, long time. According to S&P - way longer than her normal, solo- yarn- shopping, tolerance level.

I managed to grab a lovely ball of green tape yarn.

I've been thinking scarves lately and this will make a super addition to some green stash yarns for a multi-yarn, monochromatic, green scarf. A great accent on the new winter coat that came home from Toronto with me.

And, at long last, I have the wool for my Must Have Cardi.

How long has that been in my queue? Well, how long has the pattern been out? But as S&P said. 'queues are fluid." So true. S&P picked this one out for me. She knows me well. Not really. But apparently, I am quite transparent. Friday was the first time I had met S&P but still she picked the perfect yarn.

I left S&P at the subway. S&P heading for home while I headed off to meet arachknit. She had been patiently saving this Sally Melville book for me.

It is the only book of Sally's that I didn't own. This copy is in excellent condition and I feel lucky to finally own it. Already I have decided that this will be my first knit from the book.

The light coloured version of Annalee's Jacket. Tweed stitch and cables. A beauty and a classic, now in my fluid queue.

The rest of the weekend was spent with family. Shopping, eating. Pubbing, eating. Live music, eating. Did I mention eating? Gosh we had some good food.

Fun all around for this knitter.
