Hello from Montreal

I don't have a lot of exciting news, but I thought I'd say hello from Montreal. I'm here for a meeting this week and it's kept me busy, so I haven't had a lot of time to go exploring. The little I've seen of the city is nice, but no yarn. Does anyone know where they hide it here? I've tried to find some hints on Jo Knits but haven't found any specifics.

Long days of meetings have kept me from knitting much, but I'm making some progress on the back of Mist. That's the easiest thing to work on at the end of the day when I'm tired.

Have a nice week! I'll be home on Friday and hopefully I can borrow the good work camera for a weekend of updates.

It's me again... looking through records, I went also A la lainerie Lepine, it was a very nice shop. And if I remember right, it's open late on Thursday evening!

Hope you have fun in Montreal, it's one of my favorite cities.
