Today, I brought Erika to the Unionville Library for the Baby goose story time!
she loves it, although we missed the session for ‘pre-walker’, we went to the one for ‘walkers’.
She could stay for 30 minutes there with other walkers!
The story teller was amazing, she showed and told stories, and Erika loved to listen to her!
She even followed the story teller to wave hands, raised her hands up ,etc.
SHe laughed a lot during the whole time!
I think I will bring her more to this story time program, it’s just great for her to know more people and LEARN more !!
I brought the baby goose handout with me after the class, however, I don’t know all the songs that are printed in the book, probably I need to search them through the internet, and see if there is any file I can download and listen to them.
It’s also the time for me to learn how to sing the songs , rhymes….
After the Baby goose time, Erika fell asleep in the car (it’s her napping time..) so , I drove her with me to Aurora and visited a new store.
I was planning to visit a store named “Knit or Knot”, however, when we arrived the plaza, I found that it was closed!
Then I found another knitting store just few blocks away from there.
It’s called “Needles and Knit” , the store is located on 15040 Yonge Street (it’s a HOUSE.)
Intersection : Yonge & Kennedy
They have lots of yarn there, and with quite a lot of varieties too.
I am amazed to see the NEW Louisa Harding’s Jasmine yarn there!
I bought 4 balls and a set of double pointed needles.
They have lots of pattern books and magazines there, including Louisa Harding, Phildar, Impression, and Rowan magazine!
I wanted to buy the Rowan Magazine, however, when I see that the price is $30, I held back, I was thinking, it might be a bit cheaper in Romni, right?
As I said, the yarn selection is big, they even have some Anny Blatt, Phildar yarn!
There are some eco yarn, bamboo yarns and new Debbie Bliss bamboo yarn as well.
I got a chance to touch the new Louisa Harding’s Mulberry yarn, wow, very soft with the touch of silk (it’s 100% silk!) ! oh well, almost 12 dollars for a ball (I am not very sure about the price.. )and the yardage is about 136 yards.
The store ladies are very nice though ,they helped me a lot on choosing the yarn for a summer scarf!
There is a cat there, she is very cute and she even touched my baby’s hand! haha
The store back is called “York Region Knitting Guild“, but I didn’t have to time to ask and explore more, I only had a chance to take a picture of it.
