Jo Knits!

07.30

I LOVE fixation yarn! :) At first I did a swatch, it did NOT meet the gauge I needed. So what does Jo do? She knits herself socks anyway 'cause she is a courageous knitter! :P She KNOWS it might not fit but she did not want to make 5 swatches just to knit up socks. The gauge needed is 28st/50rows over 4", my needles decided it was 32st/50row over 4". Hey I will not tell my needles that is wrong, they might do something crazy like DROP a stitch! ACK! The horror... teehee!

Today is my mommy&coffee group, for the 1st time in ages, I am quite excited to go, the lame non-knit liking moms might not be there and those who are think felting and kool aid dying is SO cool! Hey that makes me cool, right? Oh yes, these little things can me make so happy in a day.

On a sad note, I have decided that I will not go to TO for the weekend, it's making me sick to my stomach. I REALLY wanted to go but too many things are happening at once. It would have been our 1st weekend away since...... forever. There will just be too much action in TO though, there is the Caribana festival, the huge Rolling Stones event starting today but many will probably spend their weekend there too. If I had more than a week to plan everything it would have been easier too. I now know some great places to check for cheaper travelling. Toronto even has weekend specials, how neat is that? :) So Toronto might be out of the picture for me this weekend but I will get there by the fall I tell ya! :) I want my weekend away! LOL! I will go to Toronto and feast my eyes and hands to their great yarn stores, oh and I WILL buy some too! 'Cause that is what makes me happy! :)

Until then, I'll be looking more into how to go to TO in a frugal way! LOL! ;)
