Road Trip for Knitters!
Today was Baby's Day Out, for myself and a pair of knitter-friends! We covered 343.7kms in search of bargains, on crafting supplies, gaining inspiration with each stop.
At Mary Maxim in Paris Ontario, we enjoyed a huge tent sale event, gathering up Christmas gifts and getting some awesome deals, making the long trek worth our while. At Cambridge Ontario, we enjoyed thick burgers at a local 50's Diner, then on to Len's Mills, to scope out bargains and enjoy clearance sales there too!
A leisurely trip thru Ontario's Breadbasket, rolling land and sprawling farms led us to Listowel, to a factory outlet not to be missed by any serious fibre artiste. Stocking huge amounts and varieties of Bernat yarns, of all textures and colors, throngs of crafters left the tents beaming, and hauling away huge garbage bags full of deals which left them panting with exertion. The fellowship, visiting, awesome lunch, and satisfaction of the hunt well rewarded, left us all tired, happy, and bursting with craft ideas for gifts, charities, and children. Scenic farmscapes, Mennonite buggies, a pair of Amish visitors in bright mauve bonnets, and the freedom of being chore-less for even 1 day, was well worth the time and effort spent in the my little car.
Now, all we have to do, is create!
