What a Week!
I’m exhausted. Buckle your seatbelts – it was quite the Adventure!
I’m just back from an action packed weekend that involved:
1. taking the sock on a tour of the Niagara region
2. exploring a new yarn store in Fonthill, ON

4. hunting down hairy cows (figuratively not literally)
5. chasing rainbows
6. wrestling tin lizards
7. becoming obsessed with an aran sweater in the Wrath of the Gods

11. attending Stitch ‘n Pitch.
