This time next week we’ll be in Toronto! I can’t wait! There are so many cool places to visit there. There will be some stops along the way at Queens West to check out fabric, bead and yarn stores, Kensington Market to check out a yarn store and I’ll also possibly be buying a cardigan from here as well as buttons.
I’m really looking forward to this trip, for one thing I get to meet up with my friend Christina! We’ve been emailing since 1998 so it will be good to finally meet in person.
In the UK we’re at the end of a 4 day weekend. Friday and today are public holidays. I had planned to do a lot of gardening but the weather has been a bit crappy. So as a result we’ve done some tidying up but no planting. I bought some bedding plants, mostly violas and geraniums, and some herbs which I’ll have to plant before we go away on Saturday. I also found a little oregano growing in a pot that I can’t remember planting. I think it may have grown from a little cutting from my big oregano that I must have stuck in the soil last year.
Knitting wise, I’ve finished the first Bearfoot sock and have swatched for the Bottoms up Bucket. I haven’t measured my swatch yet but it’s in Rowan handknit cotton DK in black. I have four balls of the HK DK and bought two balls of dark blue Rowan Denim on Saturday for another Bucket.
Bonne Marie blogged about decorating spring hats with ribbons etc which got me looking through my trims last night. I think that ne of my hats may have some brightly coloured flower braid on it plus some iron-on dragon flies, I LOVE dragon flies, that I bought in la Drogerie last year. I also have a wonderful ribbon with cats chasing yarn also from LD. Oh the possibilities! 
Have a great time in Toronto !
