I've got it all planned out!

Next week is my Reading Week. I have never had one before and I didn't have a job when I was in highschool so not so much fun in March Break. I'm my Business Law teacher scheduled our first test for the week after Reading Week which leaves me with only 1 test to study for. 

I've decided that I will be going to: 
1) purchase a spindle and fibre to spin
For the past couple of months I have wated to learn how to spin my own yarn. I found out from EweWhoKnits (from the EweWhoKnits podcast) that Romni Wools sells spindle. I don't know what kind of spindle I'm going to buy but I know for sure that I'm going to purchase a 3-D printed Turkish Spindle from TurtleMade on Etsy. As for the fibre, I hope I get something with Merino.

2) visit a yarn shop I have never been to before
I'm just surprised I've only been to 3 yarn shops in Toronto. I am goin to rectify that next week. I know there's one not far from my workplace but I don't remember what it's called and that's the one I'm going to
3) purchase a skein of self-stripping yarn
The only reason I'm doing this is because I don't have anything in my stash that is not in my Brown Bag Sock Club bags and I need something mindless less to knit while I visit the museum. I haven't decided if it'll be from the yarn shop or Michael's

4) visit the Bata Shoe Museum
I have lived in (or just outside of) Toronto my whole life and there are so many places I have never been to (or it's been so long that I barely remember it). I've tried to get my aunt or my cousins to come with but one is working and the other has other things she wants to do for Reading Week. So I'm going by myself and I'm sure I'll enjoy the heck out of it.
