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.
