Just days ago, the city braced for a snowstorm, which didn’t seem as bad as I expected. Today was fairly mild in temperature, so I ventured out in search of some crocheting/knitting supplies. I can’t believe how hard it is to find the simplest of crafts supplies in the downtown core. After looking online for what’s in the area, I decided to walk, um, about 6-7 big city blocks to where I thought all my supply needs would be fulfilled. I left there with only a 3mm crochet hook and wasn’t able to get the other things I had hoped to find there.

Bah.

Why are there no longer any kind of crafts store in the Eaton Centre? Does the world really need that many clothing stores and food courts (some eateries are even duplicated in different areas of the mall)? And why is the closest “Michael’s” in Etobicoke? Are you frikkin‘ kidding me? I swear, if I had the money, I’d open up a shop right on the first floor of my condo – which coincidentally enough, is currently available retail space. Hmm, intriguing thought.
