Sweet Beautiful Time Off!!

As of about 20 minutes ago, I am off for 3 weeks (well, I'm on call for overnight admissions Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday of this week, but at least I have the days free.) I'll be heading back to BC on Sunday, so this gives me a chance to check out the places near the rental, and I'll also be heading into Toronto on Friday and Saturday. Batty left a comment that I need 2 stashes. I'm happy to report that my Ontario stash has been in existence for several weeks now: Here's the latest addition: I picked up the Silky Tweed from Martina at Kniterary. It's destined to become a Firefly Sweater a la Definitely Maybe Knits And here's some yarn that I started knitting up as a shawl for the Sea socks Cruise: I was doing a simple YO/K2tog alernating with garter stitch pattern, but I saw this pattern when we were shopping in Victoria, and decided that I would frog it and restart at some point in time: My goal is to have it done for next year's Sea Socks Cruise. On an unrelated topic - I suggest that any GTA readers check out the Driftwood Theatre production of Much Ado About Nothing. I saw them perform The Complete Works of William Shakespear (Abridged), and it was a blast - they are hilarious!

The beaded socks that I am knitting are from her Legs for Easy Toe Up Socks pamphlet.
