This is the one where I frolicked.......and took zero photos. Wah, wah. Insert face palm. I am a bad blogger. I am currently on the Executive for the Toronto Knitters Guild and did have a small hand in organizing the social media/podcaster area for this event, plus I am also a volunteer so I did feel a bit pulled in various directions. Luckily I had the foresight not to sign up for a class on the Saturday. I've said this before but I haven't felt a strong pull to buy yarn lately. I've mostly ...

CommuKnitty Pays It Forward Game 2017
Happy New Year to you! I know 2016 was a rough year for many, and if that was the case for you, I'm sorry. I hope 2017 brings much joy and abundance to everyone.

So I've decided to do quick updates on a bunch of things, that in the future will just be shorter posts. Rhinebeck Name Dropping & Stash Enhancement Periscope notes will be at the end ...
Toronto Knitters Frolic – Classes & Podcaster Meetup
The weather is finally catching up to the calendar here in Toronto, however, the warmer weather also brought with it a nasty flu bug for yours truly. Here is my long delayed review of the classes I took at the Toronto Knitters Frolic almost a month ago. First up was a class on Short Rows taught by our international guest instructor, Bristol Ivy. I've been following Bristol on Instagram for awhile now, and one of the things I love most about her feed is that when she posts photos of herself, she ...
Toronto Knitters Frolic 2016 – Acquisitions
Last weekend was the annual Toronto Knitters Frolic, put on by the Toronto Knitters Guild. What an amazing event! As usual, the venue was the beautiful Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre. The international guest instructor this year was the delightful Bristol Ivy. We are blessed in Toronto to have a vast array of talented instructors living locally, and I felt fortunate to attend classes with Bristol, as well as Stephanie Pearl McPhee and Kate Atherley. I will talk about my classes in a later ...
