Yesterday, I met a no-blog friend from out of town. We went to what I think of as the Aladdin’s Cave for knitters. It’s a store in downtown Toronto called Romni Wools, a huge store (over 6,000 sq. ft.) of yarn, pattern books, notions and just about everything a knitter could possibly want. I hadn’t been there for a number of years and was astounded at the variety of yarns available to knitters now. There was a bamboo yarn that felt absolutely fabulous. Made me wish I could still knit. It was fun to wander through the two floors and see/feel all the glorious yarns. I wish I had thought to take the camera with me!
Nothing quilt-related got done Tuesday at all. When I got home my throat was sore and I felt rather ill — all thanks to allergies. I guess the ragweed must be sky-high this year. I’m hoping that the Kona Bay fabric and maybe the black and white music fabrics arrive today. Then I can get really started on the Harpsichord Quilt.
Lester, once again on the windowsill:
And Smudge having some yogourt.

Sounds like Yarn Heaven! I am glad to see Smudge is enjoying a healthy snack
