This trip was sorely needed. Nick knows to take me to a very tall forest if I need to remember who I am. Thanks for being here for me.

Some photos from our one year trip to the Sequoia National Forest in the beginning of October. I took my garden TAATs along for some good shot-gun knitting.
places : toronto, ontario
With just my iPhone in tow (tried to travel light), I spent a rushed three days exploring Toronto on foot. Naturally I had to ask Yelp where the nearest LYS’s were. Yarns Untangled . This small shop is gorgeously lit and incredibly well curated, I wanted to bring every one of their skeins home. I took this yarn lust as an opportunity to manage my stash. I took a good look at the entries in my Ravelry stash section, and carefully assigned the relevant ones to projects on my queue.

Speaking of the quick trip to the bay area, here’s a tiny sample of what all was photographed there. The experience at the Teamlab exhibit was absolutely magical. See you next time, and let me know what your plans are for Soctober and NaKniSweMo.
