The latest and greatest yarn purchase. Unicorn Poop! Created by Why Knot Fibers in Traverse City. Sparkly rainbow yarn for both @jenseamonster and I. I can't wait to turn this into something beautiful for myself. 😁

Do all the things

It finally happened. @jenseamonster​ and I made it to Toronto! It was an amazing best friend trip. We ate vegan poutine, made Drake references and earned 30,000 steps on our Fitbits. Jen and I crammed an incredible amount of awesome into two nights and three days. So much awesome that we made it into a list.

Go to Canada and be Awesome check list (or all the ridiculously awesome and Canadian things we managed to do in one weekend): 

- Make Canadian friends who are loud, hilarious and amused by our antics

- Eat a classic Canadian dish, with a vegan twist - poutine. 

- Visit Jurassic Park and watch a Raptors game with a bunch of Canadians outside of a stadium - Walk 12 Miles (19.3 K) in shoes not meant for long distance walks - Visit an art museum and be impressed by tiny ships and giant elvis paintings - Buy Canadian yarn from a cute shop called Romni Wool

- Sing Drake songs. All the Drake songs.  - Visit the Distillery District - Visit China Town - Look for a missing chicken #whereswallce

We always have to find the yarn shop on our adventures. Romni Wools in Toronto had some really lovely yarns from all over the world and some locally hand dyed Canadian yarns!

Visiting my old college town of Mt. Pleasant, Michigan for a conference. Decided to hit up Mountain Town Brewery for soup, salad and (knitting) socks. Yummy food and booze. Sadly the patio was closed and it’s gorgeous outside. I suppose I’ll have to go on an adventure and find a place with outdoor seating for dessert.
