Knitter’s Frolic in Toronto & FO!!!
April 27, 2008 by angelknits
What a FUN day! I went to the Knitter’s Frolic in Toronto!! It’s my first attend and I spent nearly 4 hours there. There were so many delicious yarns, nice people, and I didn’t know there are so many knitters in town! My wallet was painful, but I was in heaven! Here are two pictures of how the show looks like and one of the tables that’s packed with the yummy yarns.
And here’s what my mom and myself have gotton as treasures [Lillian, can you see the purple Cherry Hill Sock yarn? It's a treat for you.....hope you will like it. :P]
These hand made wood buttons are just cute!
They have raffles and my mom and I both bought the tickets…guess what, we both won something!!!!! I won a baby blanket knit, and my mom won a purse knit:
The last thing to share is my new FO - Lusy and lacy cardigan from Sweaterbabe.com. I love this! It’s a very practical and yet a trendy cardigan. And it’s perfect in this spring weather!
And I got these beautiful buttons from Mary’s yarn in Unionville. It’s just a perfect match for my sweater.
Pattern: Lush and Lacy cardigan
Yarn: Laines du Lord in Purple 6.5 balls
Needles: 5 mm
Wow, Angel.
