Hello from Toronto!

It’s our first full-day in Toronto and of course I’ve done some spending!

We started off by going for a Jewis brunch at a cafe which I forget the name off – I’ll update this later – and then went to Kensington Market.

Went to Freshly Baked Goods and bought two fab cardis – one purple mohair and one purple variagated cotton. They’re very cool and were on sale as well which is great! I also got a really good deal on some wonderful buttons. The cardis are really nice styles, just the type that I should be knitting! There’s a pattern for them in the Stitch & Bitch book and Debbie Stoller is wearing it on the front cover.

I also went to Lettuce Knits where I bought two Charlotte’s Web patterns – one for me and one for Jeni, some Mission Falls cotton yarn for Bucket Hats and of course some Koigu for socks or gloves etc. I also got another great deal, this time it was on bamboo bag handles for $2 each!

I still have to do Queens West for more yarn and fabric etc. But so far it’s been a good start to the week.

The weather has been really varied – started off pouring with rain and now it’s quite sunny. Just like SF!

Remember if you visit Toronto to save your bills as you can claim back the sales tax.
