w00t!

So I'm in a frenzy of trade-show prep for TNNA this weekend! Laundry, lists, packing, repacking. What shoes???!? Instead of sharing further angst with you, how about this...a reminder of the happiest day in the year:

Yes, June 9 is World Wide Knit in Public day! Did you know that? Well, you do now! I'm not making this up. You can read all about the globe's knittish escapades here!

What are we doing in Toronto to celebrate this most specialist of days? Why, we get on the Red Rocket and knit from yarn shop to yarn shop, of course! It's the TTC Knit-A-Long, the most Toronto-y of Toronto-y knitting events! I'll be there...are you coming? Deets follow:

Registration is open and you can find out all about it on the TTC Knit-A-Long blog. The date is Saturday, June 9th and it's a yarn crawl that you won't want to miss. Plus there are prizes given out at the end of the day!

You will need to have a valid TTC pass [like the Daypass or your Metropass...or just a handful of tokens] and there is a $2 registration fee.

See you there!

Have fun at TNNA and drink a cocktail for me at the Potter Craft party. I can't make this one because of an upcoming trip for a friend's wedding. But I'll be there again in January and hopefully Columbus next year.

Gotta miss the knitting in public day--it's also the Ontario Handspinning Seminar where I'm teaching spindling. Denny can I still have a cupcake? C'mon, I knit in public all the time! ;-)

But Denny, I'm on this special diet. Are you going to put milk and butter in the cupcakes?? I wouldn't be able to eat them :(

the Dublin knitters have planned a wonderful day for us Irish knitters here on this side of the pond...knitting on the DART (train that travels along the coastline), meeting up in the city centre and knitting at the Summerhouse in St. Stephen's Green

Hey Amy - are you still looking for possible shops in Denmark? There is a great one in Copenhagen that I went to a few times while I was living there - it's called Strikkeboden. There isn't much English on their site but I'm sure if you email them they'll know who you are and be happy to have you come visit! info@strikkeboden.dk Happy travels - I'm so envious, I miss Scandianvia!! ~gabriella :)
