Bernat Roving Scarf

I finished knitting a Roving Scarf to donate. 

I used a Caron Anniversary Cake Special Edition (the colour is Jewels and Jolly) and 6.5mm needles. I like how the colour changes worked, resulting in big chunks of colour rather than shorter bursts.

It's an easy free Bernat pattern from Yarnspirations and I found it  here.

Christmas at the Eaton Centre, Toronto, ON

After I saw We Will Rock You, I went to the Eaton Centre to check out the decorations and tree. Very Christmasy!

The tree changes colours. On the hour, for about three minutes there is a Holiday Light & Snow Show. The lights are choreographed to festive music with an indoor snowfall at the end.

"We Will Rock You", CAA Ed Mirvish Theatre, Toronto, ON

I saw We Will Rock You at the CAA Ed Mirvish Theatre this afternoon.

Celebrating rock ’n’ roll to the rhythm of 25 Queen songs, including the classic “Somebody to Love, ” “Another One Bites the Dust,” “We Are the Champions,” “Under Pressure,” “Don’t Stop Me Now” and, of course, the timeless classic “Bohemian Rhapsody,” the formidable cast brings to life a range of atmospheres depicting the two rival clans – the ruthless leaders of the Corporation and the indomitable rebels – plunging the audience into futuristic and organic worlds with spectacular projections and breathtaking costumes. 

Created by Queen and Ben Elton, WE WILL ROCK YOU is set in the near future on a planet controlled by a powerful corporation. Globalization is complete. Individuality is taboo. All music is now computer-generated, rock music has been eradicated, and musical instruments are banned. The sole hope for liberation rests on an unlikely resistance: an alliance of Bohemian rebels, waiting for a hero to lead them in the battle to bring “rock power” to the people.

It was so good! Fabulous voices and the audience got right into the Queen songs. The references to non-Queen songs got laughs.

The glow sticks were fun and
we were encouraged to wave them often

Big Way Hot Pot, Toronto, ON

Trish, Yvette and I had supper this evening at Big Way Hot Pot on Bloor Street W (just east of Bathurst Street). Yvette suggested it and I will admit I was hesitant because I’m not a fan of soup and I’m kind of fussy. It turned out to be a fun tasty experience!
