A lovely run through Toronto

For those of you who are familiar with the Toronto area, you will know that overnighting downtown between two days of meetings at the airport hotel makes little sense.  However, when said overnight involves a Wednesday night, all bets are off.

I've been to Knit Night at Lettuce Knit.

My muggle pal, ever obliging and far sweeter than he needs to be, picked me up at rush hour at the end of meeting day 1.  We then headed to Kensington Market so I could gawk and shop and generally revel in the geeky world known as knitting.

Amy was there (let's face it, because I e-bugged her to remind her that I'd be there), as well as a certain returnee from the back woods.  I met blog free by choice Rachel, the infamous Denny, and sweater model and fab knitter in her own right Alexis.  Laura was there, preparing to travel for a very important work event, as was LK's lovely owner Megan, with a most important WIP of her own.  (Hint:  she keeps it hidden under her shirt.)

There was lots of Socks that Rock there.  And beer.  And people to recommend the best Indian restaurant I've had the pleasure of visiting.  All in all, a pretty awesome evening.

Did I mention my obliging muggle friend took off when I made him squeeze a skein of yarn?

Thank you, GTA crew, for being so welcoming, and for not running for the hills when I recognized you from blogs alone.  I'm freaky that way.

I took no photos, save for the yarn shots upon my return.  Wanna see some?

Aw, that sounds like a great trip.

Any yarn named "smooshy" is ok by me:)

It's like visiting a holy site, isn't it?
