Last Day in Toronto
I can hardly believe that I'm settling in for my last night in Toronto. Where did the week go? I got to spend my night in an exceptionally fun way, though.
With almost perfect weather, I got to enjoy a final fabulous evening in the company of a very friendly group of knitters at a beautiful little yarn store, Lettuce Knit. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming and it's hard to imagine a better way to spend an evening in a new city. I enjoyed seeing Rachel H and Stephanie again (Rachel made sure I got a nice walking tour down to Lettuce Knit and I got to hold Stephanie's current sock) and I got to meet Amy for the first time as well as Michelle and more lovely Toronto knitters than you can shake a stick at. As always, I have to apologize for my terrible memory for names -- but it really was a pleasure to spend a few hours knitting with such a nice group of folks, and I do hope that I get the chance to come back someday and do it again.
Of course, a little bit of shopping was done... but discussion of that will have to wait until I have good light to take pictures in.
I definitely enjoyed my trip to Toronto last year (including my trip to Lettuce Knit)! It has been great getting to relive some of my experiences through your terrific pictures.
Lucky you! That looks like it was a absolutely!! wonderful time. Kinda like knitting w. the knitting stars?! I've heard wonderful things about this store, I'm sure it was fun.

hmmm SnB at Lettuce Knit.. adding another pro to my list for the vaguely possible move to Toronto!
What a wonderful way to finish up your visit to Toronto!
Wow! Amy, Stephanie, and Michelle all at once? Now that's what I call convergence!!! Were the planets aligned?
That sounds like a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to seeing the "souvenirs" from Lettuce Knit. It sounds like quite a nice business trip really.
Whoa. You are certainly doing a great job surrounding Baby Z with positive energy!!
OMG!!! so jealous here! i was going to ask if you were going to be able to go to the party there but i didn't know if you had time! i'm so glad you have pictures! i hope you share more--especially of the harlot's sock and of your stash enhancement! :o)
Sounds like a great time! I had no idea you hang out with knitting celebrities!
Have you seen Yarn Harlot today? I think you're officially a knitting celebrity! Congratulations!
I haven't read your blog in a while but just saw the photo of you on YarnHarlot's blog! Congratulations!! Now I know what the rocking chair your Dad made for you is for! And that's the most beautiful rocking chair I've ever seen, by the way.
Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy and all the best to you and your husband.
Looks like a you have had a great time. I enjoy getting together with other knitters.
the pics of you on Steph's blog are so cute. You are looking fab!! Ugh, pregnant in the Chicago summer here though I do not envy you!
Awesome. That is hands down the best knitting night I have ever been to. I love those Canadian knitters!
I can't believe that it has to be someone from Chicago to tell me where there is a dynamite yarn shop in T-Dot, that's my home town for crying out loud... Thanks so much...ciao
It was nice meeting you... I'm sorry I didn't realize who you were until Stephanie identified you. (I'm the one that tagged along to the streetcar stop from Lettuce Knit.)
