Greetings from Toronto!

Well, I made it! I consider myself quite well travelled but each time I go to a new place or decide to move to a new country, it's overwhelming. Luckily, I had a great, great friend who not only picked me up at the airport, but also helped me lug my many suitcases TWICE, not once (it's a long long story).

So, I am here... and the first thing I googled was "yarn shops in Toronto". There are many so I am happy. But I am still unemployed so I cannot action on this happiness just yet. Restaint! Will power!

Whilst in Vancouver, I had an in-progress item that I abandonned. I ran out of yarn but managed to find some websites selling it online. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I can get enough as there's a least another 3-4 inches to go! Here it is... it's supposed to be a cardigan using a shetland wool mix. Pattern from Vogue Knitting Fall 1999. Right now, it's just kinda bunched up.

I just noticed that pictures can now be posted directly on Blogger. No more fiddling with Hello+Picasa! Yay!! This new function has been launched for some time I think. Quite nifty, it's much more convenient!

I am now 2/3 finished my first sock. Initially allured by complicating shaping, the sock is not really my favorite thing to knit. Knitting in the round on such small needles is quite boring... maybe I need to look up some patterns to spice things up! Plans for the next pair of socks are cables, cables, cables?? But in the meantime, I have to brew up enough excitement to finish the first sock!
