I walked down St. Clair to check out Toronto's newest yarn store (at least as far as I know), Alterknits. The lady there said they are working on their website and should have one up soon.

Whoof! Quite a walk for this lazy gal. I walked fast, too. I saw this on the way, close to Bathurst:

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

Very neat. Persian rugs look so complicated that I never really think about them being handmade. Weaving is on my someday list.

So, Alterknits Stitch and Bitch night is tonight (Thursdays), and I was invited by the owner(s). I am considering whether I have the guts to go. Though I am 98% less shy than I was in high school, there is something about a SnB that turns me into a gawky 16 year old. (as opposed to a gawky 25 year old). I wish I had a knitting friend here in the big city to go with me.

I'm such a big chicken.

Yeah, did you go? You can always take some knitting that requires you to pay close attention, and then you can listen to the conversation without actually talking to anyone, or even looking up! Then you'll get used to things... It's a cool shop, though, isn't it?

It is a cool shop! I didn't go, because I didn't get enough done during the day and we were going away for the weekend, but I think I will go this week. Would you like to get together for coffee there sometime?
