heading north

later this month i am very happy to be heading back up to Toronto! i had such a good time there last year, visiting alisa and her posse, and the ladies of lettuce knit and teaching at the workroom, so i’ve decided it should be a spring tradition. this time i’ll be teaching a full [...]
