Simply Knitting Magazine

Cross Stitcher Magazine

Yes, there are free things! Unfortunately, the reader gallery on Simply Knitting either a) doesn’t work, b) there are none, or c) doesn’t work. I’m looking for my gnomes and I cannot find them. I’ll keep checking. Sooner or later they are bound to figure out it’s broken, right?

Sniffle. Cough. Snurfle. Groan. Achoo! Ewww…. Cough. Hack. Wheeze. Whimper. Sniff. Sniff.  Cough. Cough. Cough. Squeak…That’s me. How are you? All I want is soup, bed, and someone to walk the dog 2 times today.

Every once in a while I get all nostagic about my informative years here in Toronto. Remember the old streetcars in burgundy and yellow?  Remember the subway lights flickering and going out when you went underground? Remember the days when no one had to post a sign on every subway door that reminds riders to “Be Courteous” and to “Allow other passengers to exit the train before boarding”. If you get a little nostalgic like I do, I found a great place with old photos including the history, the lost stations and all kinds of things you never knew about our transit system. You’ll also find information about the latest announcement to transform Toronto into “Transit City” with the LRT.

Ok, I’m now in love with my knitted Stewie Griffin from Family Guy. He was meant to be a Christmas in August gift for some lucky recipient, but I must confess, I love him too much to part with him. So, I’ll just have to make some more. I’d make some changes, like adding yellow buttons and crossing his straps in the back. Other than that, I love him!
