Yesterday was the first day of the
Toronto Knitter's Frolic, held at the Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre. To say that I was excited was a bit of an understatement. It was my first time going, and oh my! What a great event, y'all! It was awesome to see and feel the yarn from companies, big and small. All the vendors were also a pleasure to deal with. I'll definitely try to do some workshops next year as well, as they sounded pretty rad.
I went with my daughter (sons were left with the hubby), my sister-in-law and my youngest sister (who is not a knitter, but ended up enjoying the event and got a knitting kit:))
Here are some pics I took:

We were both excited....heehee |

Saw so many inspiring knitted pieces, both from the vendors and just people walking around |

Peace out! |
My haul:

If you get the chance to go next year, come come come! I'll see you there.:) It's a new yearly tradition for us.
