Slipped Stitches

I just got back from Toronto, where I hit Romni Wools on Queen St. West. It was so amazing there - very overwhelming (floor to ceiling balls of wool), but so much selection. The ladies there were super helpful and fun, and they were all over Mr. Sly (he was patiently waiting and helping me...we were in there for about 1 hour or so, poor guy). I discovered the basement where they keep big cones of wool - I bought a 2.6 lb cone for about 30 bucks (it's wool, so not bad). The cool thing is that if I want, I can use what I need and next time I'm in town I can bring back the unused bit for a refund! Even if I bring it back years and years from now!! I can't imagine though, I love the colour so much...I'm going to use it to make the S'n'B go with anything cardigan (I'm going to put yellow mohair trim on it...), and I'm going to make S'n'B hoodie with some Paton's merino worsted that I picked up. I'm going to FINALLY use the red stuff that I've been slowly consuming (beige body, red strip and sleeve, yellow accent stripe maybe?). The beige wool I got has a much nicer colour than what is seen in the picture - it has a sort of tweedy look to it.

Other than that, not much really was purchased - not very Paris-like at all. The coolest was Saturday eating, the day of no forks!! We had Dim Sum for lunch in Chinatown, yum yum, then shwarma for second lunch, and Ethiopia House for dinner (no cutlery!).

I still can't get over the rain though - I felt like I was doing fieldwork up in Abitibi or something. Anyhow, we need to get together for some knitting - I have a hankering for cheese and wine and wool.
