yay yarn!

Jul 21, 2013 21:45

Yesterday was the TTC Knitalong, which I have been eagerly waiting for since registration opened up in early June. Erin, Kara, Lynn, Ilana and I all made it onto Team Intarsia together, so the day was bound to be fun regardless. I left my house around 9:30 am and drove to York Mills station, where I could park for the day for only $4, bought a day ( Read more... )

ravelry, fun times, pictures, happy, yarn, presents, knitting, ttc knitalong, birthday, free stuff!, friends

I enjoyed reading this! It sounds like you had SO much fun, yay! I totally agree that it's the best to be really hot and then get your hands on some nice, cold water. The best! I think the only thing that beats it is finally getting to pee after having to hold it in for awhile. :D

I can't wait to see your sweater once you finish it! That's really cool that the place gave you some free yarn! I don't think we have anything as cool as what you talked about in this entry here. Or maybe I'm just not in the know. :D

That sheep, omg. *pets the pretty* The only name that came to me is Sam, but if I come up with something else I'll reply again!

Glad you liked it. I definitely had a fantastic time. :) And haha, I peed so many times yesterday because I was drinking so much water.

I'm sure I will post pictures of my cardigan once it's made, though it'll probably be awhile. My other sweater took me about 4.5 months to do, but maybe this one will go faster. :)

I don't know if other cities do anything like the TTC Knitalong. I think it probably depends on how big the local knitting scene is there, how many yarn stores there are, etc.

Haha, okay, I will take Sam into consideration, thanks! :)

As long as there's a picture eventually it's all good. :D

Ahhh, I don't think there's a big knitting scene here. That and Toronto is just cooler than us. ;-)

More! Stephen/Stefan. Apparently there's an 'S' theme. -_-

Oh of course. I can't resist posting pictures of my finished projects. :) Though I actually haven't posted any of the two I've just finished here yet . . . lol.

Haha, well, Toronto is pretty awesome, I must say. ;)

Lol, okay. I am still thinking about it. I feel like he needs a "fancy" name, whatever that means. :p

*hugs* I hope that the meds get settled soon, and you start to see more good stretches. I'm sending lots of positive thoughts your way.
