Congratulations 🎉 I appreciate your transparency. I gave up alcohol for many reasons and I have no regrets! I do have a problem with yarn though. I’m sure I can’t possibly live long enough to knit it all. I love the footage and so appreciate your efforts to share your experiences with us! Thank you 😊
Oh I can RELATE !!! Definitely channeled my inner addict into yarn. And way to go on giving up the alcohol… way more harmful that a cupboard full of wool 🤩
Your footage of Paris is so pretty, I hope you get to return. Congratulations on your blue 🌙 sobriety! I have so much respect for anyone who recognizes when a change is needed and acts on it. Yay for perseverance! Your FO’s are beautiful, love the beanie. Happy knitting!
Thank you Stew, your footage of Paris is stunning, and you have made me change my mind about Paris. It looks beautiful! And your sweaters are worthy of the Parisienne style. I just bought wool to knit the sweater on the cover of knitting Kalevala. It will be my first colourwork sweater, so I went with the bulky one first. Can’t wait to make the one you are knitting, and several others in that book. Congratulations on 11 years, so great! I am hoping to leave alcohol behind , it is pressure from friends that make me think it will be hard. Gonna stick to it though, as I don’t have that many social occasions. They will just have to get used to it! Take care, happy knitting, Melissa.
Thank you Melissa! That’s a great way to start colourwork! Just remember to stretch out your floats as you go and you will be golden. Honestly your GOOD friends will totally get used to you being the fun sober person who can enjoy a mocktail and feel great about the choice to leave alcohol behind. It can be awkward at first, but I find that it is typically only those who are questioning their own relationship with alcohol that press the issue when we choose not to drink.
Thank you for a beautiful podcast. The footage of Paris and other destinations is lovely. Congratulations on your sobriety anniversary. Your knitting is so pretty. I admire anyone who works as a flight attendant. My hat is off to all of you. I imagine your peaceful demeanor is a boon to your company and the passengers everywhere.
Congrats on your sobriety, that's awesome!! Thanks for bringing back wonderful memories of Paris. I love everything, but that's probably because my late husband was French. I remember when knitting wasn't a fad & shops were closing, having sales etc. That's going back 30/40 years. My mother-in-law knitted a beautiful colorwork sweater for me. Actually, everyone in the French family knit the same pattern since it was a pattern from "Elle" magazine, that we subscribed to. I had studied French in high school & college. My late husband was alcohol free from 1981 till he died. Never even ate co vine, can't spell that's chicken cooked in wine, that's how careful he was. It takes a lot of self control, courage to stay sober!! BRAVO 👏
Congratulations on your 11th Sobriety Anniversary !! Mine was August 24th - 40 years!! Yay for us !! Life is Good!! Been knitting forever and following you since you started this podcast - always enjoy……❤
Thank you for the beautiful footage of Paris, I miss traveling so much. I have not left Canada since Covid and I am getting the itch. Congratulations on you sobriety anniversary! 🎉 My hubby has been sober for 27 years, I know how important it is.❤
Congratulations on your 11th anniversary of sobriety! I love watching the videos you take from the cities you visit, and it's so nice that you are now showing us places from around the world! I'm so happy you fought your tickets. Most people wouldn't. From what I've seen, judges are pretty kind, down to earth people. No personal experience, other than I served on a jury 3 months ago.
Congratulations on 11 years!!! I still remember last year when you said "I gave up one thing to have everything!" How wonderful you can be in Paris for this milestone - even though it is a short layover. I enjoy your podcast, the tours and your knitting. Thank you and safe travels.
A truly beautiful podcast. The shots of Paris were great to see and the yarn shop had some amazing colours. Love the two tops that you have completed and I will be looking at those patterns. Your works in progress are inspirational. Congratulations on your 11 years sobriety and your openness in discussing the subject. 🇬🇧
Leanne thank you for taking us to Paris, what an adventure! I love the way you show us your travels and cities you visit. Awesome knitting too . Congratulations on your sobriety anniversary too. ❤
Congratulations on your sobriety anniversary!!! That's great! 🎉 Love your podcasts and love going along with you virtually on all your trips. I don't travel personally....so I love seeing all the places in our beautiful world. Thank you!
Happy Sobriety Anniversary Leanne! What better place to celebrate loving yourself than in the city of love, Paris! Thank you for all the beautiful footage. It was wonderful!❤🧶🧶❤️
Thank you so much for the trip to Paris! My husband and I went there several years ago. We went everywhere on the Metro and the train system. It was easy to navigate. As I recall each subway car had a map of the city so you could follow your travel to ensure you are headed in the right direction. We did not eat one meal in a fancy restaurant, we are vegetarian and it was too hard to ensure our dietary needs were met. We picked up food here and there. The bakeries are wonderful! Thanks for sharing. Your knitting is wonderful. 💜
I love paris, especially the food, markets and the Dorsey museum. One of the best things we did was an “eating Europe” food tour. We got to explore some unusual areas with a guided tour, try fabulous cheeses, meats and breads. Wonderful memories and i cant wait to go back and order a croque madame at the little restaurant just over the bridge on the Ile de paris island in the middle of paris where the burnt remains of the Notre Dame are being restored. You must go back and explore that area it is magical. Thankyou for bringing those memories back to me!
Congrats on your accomplishment! Good for you. Paris has remained my favorite city since I visited for the first time in 2006. I was lucky to live in France for a few years; I would take the TGV from Bordeaux and spend my Saturday walking all day before the train back. Pure joy!
Congratulations on another year of sobriety! Good for you, Leanne. Thank you for showing us around Paris. As always, your knitting projects are so inspiring. I think that the misurina is the perfect pattern choice to show off your friends handspun gift. Take good care.
Congratulations on 11 years of sobriety! I’m sure you inspire others to do the same. You are a very accomplished knitter and I’ve enjoyed seeing the world through your eyes. Thanks for all you do!🎉
Another lovely podcast! Nice to see you enjoying your work and your knitting. Keep on letting us share your accomplishments in your work life as well as your knitting life. Thank you Leanne❤
Thank you for sharing about your sobriety. Congratulations on this very significant achievement. It’s apparent in your podcast that you are a person who is clear-headed (other than the appropriate fatigue) and you bring so much of your true self to every episode that you record. I’m just so happy for you! ❤
Ooo-la-la! Thank you so much for giving us a tour of Paris! That's as close as I'll ever get, and it was awesome! and you look so chic with your updo and earrings. ☺
Ah, Paris… I never get tired of it, been lucky enough to visit that wonderful city 9 times. If you ever come to Quebec City in one of your travels, you will definitely find similarities! I would be happy to meet and show you around my hometown. Thank you for another wonderful podcast, happy knitting! 🧶😊
Congratulations and so much admiration for you on the anniversary of your sobriety. Being in Paris is such a treat! It’s been way too long since I’ve been there. Thanks for sharing the scenery of everyday life in the city as well as the well-known monuments, all of which are spectacular. Love all your knitting FO’s and WIPS. The Rauma green color is gorgeous. Your camping spot looks heavenly. Good luck on your annual exams and safe travels. See you next time!
Aww Patrick I am very touched to read that. When I edit my videos afterwards I sometimes cringe and annoy myself. Not sure why we humans are so hard on ourselves. Hope the planets all stop “retrograding” so we can feel right as rain 🤗
I’m so happy for you to be able to visit Paris! Thanks for the lovely episode! Congratulations once again on your sober anniversary. On one of your previous episodes you said you gave up one thing in order to have everything and that really stayed with me. You will never truly know how many people you helped with your honesty. Can’t wait to see where you go next!
Congratulations on your 11 years, Leanne, that's awesome! Thank you for taking us through Paris with you. I had a couple of days there during the same holiday in which I visited Dublin and totall fell in love. Such a beauriful city Take care till next time x
Holy moly Leanne, so much to comment on! Thanks for your quick Paris tour - your filming, editing and narration skills are en pointe. 😉 Your Misurina is going to be a show-stopper! But most importantly, sincere congrats on your sobriety birthday - good for you, Leanne. 👍🏼
Thank you for another wonderful podcast and congratulations on your sobriety anniversary. Your Paris video is stunning - thank you for sharing.❤ safe travels home
I absolutely adored your depiction of Paris as it aligns very much with my romantic notions of the city. I very much hope to be able visit one day, but until then I am glad to be able to visit with you! ❤
Leanne your frisky leaves looks so good and it suits you beautifully! It looks like you had a wonderful time exploring Paris and I'm so glad you could bring us along.
Thank you for sharing Paris with us, it is a beautiful city that most of us will never be able to personally visit. I absolutely love that tee, and it's really pretty on you, the fit is perfect. You are to be commended for 11 years, a wonderful accomplishment for your life, and an inspiration for others.
Happy Birthday. 11 years is a really big deal! I love your channel, your beautiful knitting, and all your stories. Keep up the great work! ~Cindy S. (SB 1/7/83)
What a beautiful testimony of a life changed. My husband and I embraced abstinence from alcohol and drugs not because we had a problem but because we wanted to be a witness that life is better without. Thank you for sharing, you never know who’s life you have touched. Love your knitting style. I too am a beginner spinner (Turkish drop spinner only) I always wanted to learn as I took classes well into my 60’s. it’s never too late. I don’t produce much but pleased that I accomplished a new skill. Loved seeing Paris with you. See you soon 🧶🇨🇦
I absolutely love your podcasts! You are a fabulous knitter and so engaging. Also, thank you for sharing about your sobriety. My mother was an alcoholic and died when I was 17, so I can only wish she had found sobriety in her life. I don’t drink at all to be sure not to continue the addiction.
Congratulations on so many wonderful accomplishments. But especially, I wish you a Happy 50th birthday and 11th Sobriety Anniversary. The yarn your friend spun for you is indeed a precious gift. I learned how to knit while I was an exchange student in Angers, France, in 1985. The yarn shops were small like the one you showed, but so beautiful and on every corner. Inspiration to the loveliest extremes. Thank you for taking us with you.
Another lovely episode! Brought back memories of my trip to Paris and love all your knits, travel talk and life talk. Happy you are in such a beautiful place - geographically and in life.
Thanks, Leanne!! The amount of joy you bring over is truly amazing! Congrats on your eleventh sobriety anniversary. Happy coincidences: Charlottetown and now Paris!!! Sending love and enjoy your training. See you soon!
An awesome episode Leanne! Your completed sweaters and hat are so lovely. The tour of Paris was so cool. Congratulations, Leanne 11 yrs but 1 day at a time. Its how I feel about not smoking for many years. Have a great flight home
Congratulations on 11 years of sobriety. I’m so glad you had more energy this trip, both for yourself to enjoy Paris and for footage for us. Beautiful projects as usual. The Frisky leaves Tee turned out so pretty.
Leanne, This is the second time this week I have seen Paris. My brother and sister-in-law are on holiday in Paris and I would like to think that they crossed paths with you near the Eiffel Tower. Congratulations on your 11 years!🎉 I can't wait to see more of Paris when you return!
I think you look tres chic in your Frisky Leaves Tee and pretty dress, mon ami. Your Kentia & Guthrie Hat are glorious. And I think the Misurina will be gorgeous and so precious with Jackie's love and sunlight infused yarn. I love seeing the cities through your eyes and I want to eat my way through all of those bakeries! 😘
Leanne, congratulations on your 11th year of sobriety. That’s a wonderful accomplishment! All your knit items are beautiful as always & I loved seeing Paris through your eyes. I’ve looked forward to your posts since your very first one. Take care, have fun & enjoy life. ❤
Bonjour Leanne! Congratulations on your 11 years of sobriety and what a way to celebrate it but in Paris! I hope your training goes well. Safe travels and happy knitting.
Happy Sobriety Birthday! 2.5yrs for me. I think when you are open about such things, you never know who might be listening, and needing to hear the words 😊. The oddest thing for me is experiencing the shock people express when hearing one is AF....really, why does it matter to them? 🤔🧐😀
Oh la la Paris! Beautiful footage Leanne, and wonderful knitting. Loving your Misurina, such a special skein of gifted yarn, what a memory that will be. Congratulations on 11 years of sobriety, 🤗.fantastic! Happy travels to you and all your adventures, Thank you for sharing. I love having a front row seat at my computer to watch it all. lol! Take care. 🤗
Thank you for sharing this layover in Paris! Your knitting is gorgeous also. I’m excited to see how everything turns out. Your camping trip was so beautiful! Take care dear.
Congratulations to you on your sobriety anniversary! So glad you got to spend it in a special place. As always I enjoy seeing your travels-in my former pre child life, I got to travel but that hasn’t been the case for a while now so I feel a bit as if I’m getting to see the world through you. Thank you so much for sharing!!!
I never take this travel for granted! I can’t believe my children and grown up now and I can fly for up to 5 days without it being a problem for anyone. It’s hard to wrap my head around the fact that I’m in this season of life.
Congratulations on your 11 year sobriety anniversary! No small feat!!! I love your frisky leaves, well written pattern and a great summer knit. Thank you for the footage of Paris, agreed the architecture is like no other. Hard to believe it is time already for your annual training. My husband’s niece Christie is also doing her training the same dates. I’m off to Scotland on the Dreamliner today and will be meeting Amy of The Meaningful Stitch and Rebecca of Crea Bea at night night tomorrow as well as the the Scottish Yarn festival. Looking forward to your next podcast adventure.
Wow thank you for taking us to Paris with you. I would love to visit. Cheer to you on celebrating 11 years and what a gift to celebrate it in Paris🎉 The top your wearing is STUNNING!!!! Also your camping trip looked so relaxing. The smoke from the fires made it down to me last week it was so strong. Safe travels ❤
Congrats on your anniversary. A health issue popped up that required a medication which necessitates avoiding alcohol so I am 8 months and a bit alcohol free. I had a dose decrease which allows me some alcohol but I have elected to stay sober for now. Thank you for sharing your trip to Paris with us.
Happy sobriety birthday! It's so wonderful that you share so openly, we appreciate and love you! Loved the tour around Paris and your run-in with the law 🤣🤣
Paris looks beautiful, thank you for sharing. Congratulations on 11 years of sobriety. Every year is an accomplishment. I am a hand spinner and knitter. When I began spinning, it was therapeutic. Now I want to knit with my handspun and try to achieve the various yarn weights. I’ll be keeping an eye on your Misarina. The handspun you were gifted is so lovely and I hope works out well for this project. Thanks so much for podcasting! Terry, Knutsford BC, Canada
Next Paris trip get some help from the hotel staff and maybe even the yarn store staff. They can help you get on the right metro line and make it easy. I got myself on a tram in Toronto and was feeling pretty smug after the first transfer until the tram later went right instead of left. So I requested the next stop, crossed the street, double checked my tram line numbers, waited, waited and finally the right one came and deposited me 4 blocks from a lovely yarn shop. My daughter was doing her own thing that day checking out a possible university and I did manage a lovely, if longer than expected, adventure of my own. Of course there wasn't a language barrier. That would be a bit intimidating. And Paris is so lovely to just walk around in and just see it. You can't see it while underground. Love seeing your knits every time. Thanks!
So wonderful to share in this trip to Paris, your knitting adventures and projects. I love that you share your heart with us and this milestone in your sobriety! Hope you were well rested for your return flight home!!
Wow, Paris. Thank you so much for sharing your day there. You have a good eye for filming and I love all the interesting facts that you always have about the city you are in. Loved all the knits, absolutely beautiful. The hat colors are so pretty. Congratulations on sobriety anniversary.
Thank you for taking us along to Paris. The footage brings back happy memories of our time there in 2007 and makes me want to go back. Congratulations on your sobriety anniversary--what a wonderful way to celebrate.
Thank you for sharing a little bit of Paris with us. Congratulations on 11th Anniversary of Sobriety. It’s so inspiring to hear about your life journey. Your Mizurina is going to be gorgeous with Jackie’s Handspun Yarn. I can’t wait to see is 😍
Thank you so much for taking us along with you in Paris. There are so many fabulous places to visit in the city- I do hope you get to return and continue your exploring. Congratulations on another year of sobriety👏🏻👏🏻
Great to see you again!! Oh Pari.. So beautiful and on my bucket list, thank you for sharing. I love all your projects!! Congrats on 11 years of sobriety.. Awesome and wonderful!!
Beautiful projects, footage from Paris and companionship! Thank you for sharing about sobriety. Choosing not to drink alcohol should not raise anyones eyebrows. I wish you a lovely september!🌻💚
Hi Leanne, thank you for another great podcast. I love Paris and can't wait to see where your next adventure takes us!! Happy 11th anniversary... well done, amazing lady!

Happy sobriety birthday, Leanne. What a lovely anniversary gift to be given - a trip to Paris! Loved the footage.
Thanks so much! 😊
Thank you so much for the trip to Paris! My husband and I went there several years ago. We went everywhere on the Metro and the train system. It was easy to navigate.

We did not eat one meal in a fancy restaurant, we are vegetarian and it was too hard to ensure our dietary needs were met. We picked up food here and there. The bakeries are wonderful!

What a beautiful testimony of a life changed. My husband and I embraced abstinence from alcohol and drugs not because we had a problem but because we wanted to be a witness that life is better without. Thank you for sharing, you never know who’s life you have touched.
Love your knitting style. I too am a beginner spinner (Turkish drop spinner only) I always wanted to learn as I took classes well into my 60’s. it’s never too late. I don’t produce much but pleased that I accomplished a new skill.
Loved seeing Paris with you. See you soon 🧶🇨🇦
Thank you Ruth!
I absolutely love your podcasts! You are a fabulous knitter and so engaging. Also, thank you for sharing about your sobriety. My mother was an alcoholic and died when I was 17, so I can only wish she had found sobriety in her life. I don’t drink at all to be sure not to continue the addiction.
Thank you Pam! I am sorry about the loss of your mom. I salute you for not carrying the drinking to the next generation. That matters a lot!
Eleven years!! Congratulations, and what a special way to celebrate!🎉🎉🎉
Thank you Corinne 💖!!
Congratulations on so many wonderful accomplishments. But especially, I wish you a Happy 50th birthday and 11th Sobriety Anniversary. The yarn your friend spun for you is indeed a precious gift.
I learned how to knit while I was an exchange student in Angers, France, in 1985. The yarn shops were small like the one you showed, but so beautiful and on every corner. Inspiration to the loveliest extremes. Thank you for taking us with you.
Awesome! Thanks Liz!
Another lovely episode! Brought back memories of my trip to Paris and love all your knits, travel talk and life talk. Happy you are in such a beautiful place - geographically and in life.
Thank you Jan!!
Thanks, Leanne!! The amount of joy you bring over is truly amazing! Congrats on your eleventh sobriety anniversary. Happy coincidences: Charlottetown and now Paris!!! Sending love and enjoy your training. See you soon!
Thank you so much!
An awesome episode Leanne! Your completed sweaters and hat are so lovely. The tour of Paris was so cool. Congratulations, Leanne 11 yrs but 1 day at a time. Its how I feel about not smoking for many years. Have a great flight home
Freedom !!!
Congratulations on 11 years of sobriety. I’m so glad you had more energy this trip, both for yourself to enjoy Paris and for footage for us. Beautiful projects as usual. The Frisky leaves Tee turned out so pretty.
Thank you so much!!
Congratulations on 11 years. What a beautiful place to enjoy the day
It was! Thank you!!
Congratulations to 11 yrs of being clean & sober & bless you for sharing this private challenge you have face🎉. 🎉
Thank you so much 🤗
Love your podcast. Paris looks amazing. Congratulations on 11 years. Bravo 👏
Thank you so much!
Beautiful beautiful knits. The footage around Paris took me back to a trip with my sister….Such fond memories….❤. Happy anniversary 🎉
Thank you ☺️
Leanne,
This is the second time this week I have seen Paris. My brother and sister-in-law are on holiday in Paris and I would like to think that they crossed paths with you near the Eiffel Tower.
Congratulations on your 11 years!🎉
I can't wait to see more of Paris when you return!
So cool!
I think you look tres chic in your Frisky Leaves Tee and pretty dress, mon ami. Your Kentia & Guthrie Hat are glorious. And I think the Misurina will be gorgeous and so precious with Jackie's love and sunlight infused yarn. I love seeing the cities through your eyes and I want to eat my way through all of those bakeries! 😘
I was going for chic!!!! 🤗 Next time I should bring an empty lunchkit and bring back one of each from those bakeries!
Leanne, congratulations on your 11th year of sobriety. That’s a wonderful accomplishment! All your knit items are beautiful as always & I loved seeing Paris through your eyes. I’ve looked forward to your posts since your very first one. Take care, have fun & enjoy life. ❤
Thank you so much Pati! I know you have been here the whole time and I appreciate that VERY much.
Bonjour Leanne! Congratulations on your 11 years of sobriety and what a way to celebrate it but in Paris! I hope your training goes well. Safe travels and happy knitting.
Thank you so much!
Happy Sobriety Birthday! 2.5yrs for me. I think when you are open about such things, you never know who might be listening, and needing to hear the words 😊. The oddest thing for me is experiencing the shock people express when hearing one is AF....really, why does it matter to them? 🤔🧐😀
Yay on your 2.5 Sandra!!!
Oh la la Paris! Beautiful footage Leanne, and wonderful knitting. Loving your Misurina, such a special skein of gifted yarn, what a memory that will be. Congratulations on 11 years of sobriety, 🤗.fantastic! Happy travels to you and all your adventures, Thank you for sharing. I love having a front row seat at my computer to watch it all. lol! Take care. 🤗
Thank you so much Sue always glad you’re travelling with me !
Thanks Leanne for sharing your beautiful knitting, Paris landscape and congratulations on your 11th anniversary!
Thank you so much!
Misurina! How can you not love it…..cables, lace, colorwork! This will be lovely.
There is so much goodness!
Thank you for sharing this layover in Paris! Your knitting is gorgeous also. I’m excited to see how everything turns out. Your camping trip was so beautiful! Take care dear.
Thank you so much!
Congratulations to you on your sobriety anniversary! So glad you got to spend it in a special place. As always I enjoy seeing your travels-in my former pre child life, I got to travel but that hasn’t been the case for a while now so I feel a bit as if I’m getting to see the world through you. Thank you so much for sharing!!!
I never take this travel for granted! I can’t believe my children and grown up now and I can fly for up to 5 days without it being a problem for anyone. It’s hard to wrap my head around the fact that I’m in this season of life.
I thoroughly enjoy your podcasts. It was great to see your beautiful knitting and beautiful footage of Paris. It makes me want to visit Europe.
Thank you so much!
Your Guthrie hat is absolutely beautiful 🩷 thanks so much for taking us with you to Paris 🗼
Thanks so much 😊
Congratulations on your 11 year sobriety anniversary! No small feat!!! I love your frisky leaves, well written pattern and a great summer knit. Thank you for the footage of Paris, agreed the architecture is like no other. Hard to believe it is time already for your annual training. My husband’s niece Christie is also doing her training the same dates. I’m off to Scotland on the Dreamliner today and will be meeting Amy of The Meaningful Stitch and Rebecca of Crea Bea at night night tomorrow as well as the the Scottish Yarn festival. Looking forward to your next podcast adventure.
Thank you Susan! I tried bidding for EDI to attend the SYF! Maybe next year! Have a wonderful time.
PAIRIS!!! How wonderful and looking pretty in Paris in your new sweater. Thank you for the tour.
Thank you too
Wonderful projects and beautiful photos of Paris! Congratulations on your sobriety anniversary!
Many thanks Denise!
Wow thank you for taking us to Paris with you. I would love to visit. Cheer to you on celebrating 11 years and what a gift to celebrate it in Paris🎉 The top your wearing is STUNNING!!!! Also your camping trip looked so relaxing. The smoke from the fires made it down to me last week it was so strong. Safe travels ❤
🤗
Leanne, thank you, so much, for sharing Paris with us. I enjoy your travels and knitting.
You are so welcome!
Yay Paris , how lovely !!!! Your projects are also lovely !!
Thank you so much!
Congrats on your anniversary. A health issue popped up that required a medication which necessitates avoiding alcohol so I am 8 months and a bit alcohol free. I had a dose decrease which allows me some alcohol but I have elected to stay sober for now.
Thank you for sharing your trip to Paris with us.
👌🏼 It’s a good thing for women to assess from time to time even if it is strictly from a health standpoint. I know I ‘reverse aged’ at least 10 years!
Happy sobriety birthday! It's so wonderful that you share so openly, we appreciate and love you! Loved the tour around Paris and your run-in with the law 🤣🤣
Thank youuuu Melissa!! 🤗 Once a badass always a badass I suppose 😆
Paris looks beautiful, thank you for sharing. Congratulations on 11 years of sobriety. Every year is an accomplishment. I am a hand spinner and knitter. When I began spinning, it was therapeutic. Now I want to knit with my handspun and try to achieve the various yarn weights. I’ll be keeping an eye on your Misarina. The handspun you were gifted is so lovely and I hope works out well for this project. Thanks so much for podcasting! Terry, Knutsford BC, Canada
Thank you Terry!!!
Next Paris trip get some help from the hotel staff and maybe even the yarn store staff. They can help you get on the right metro line and make it easy. I got myself on a tram in Toronto and was feeling pretty smug after the first transfer until the tram later went right instead of left. So I requested the next stop, crossed the street, double checked my tram line numbers, waited, waited and finally the right one came and deposited me 4 blocks from a lovely yarn shop. My daughter was doing her own thing that day checking out a possible university and I did manage a lovely, if longer than expected, adventure of my own. Of course there wasn't a language barrier. That would be a bit intimidating. And Paris is so lovely to just walk around in and just see it. You can't see it while underground. Love seeing your knits every time. Thanks!
I really can be fun to “get lost” in a city!
Paris!✨
11 years!🥰
Winning with all the parking tickets!
All the exclamation points!
Haha! Yes I love exclamation points! Thank you!
So wonderful to share in this trip to Paris, your knitting adventures and projects. I love that you share your heart with us and this milestone in your sobriety! Hope you were well rested for your return flight home!!
Thank you so much! I slept really well and felt great!
Wow, Paris. Thank you so much for sharing your day there. You have a good eye for filming and I love all the interesting facts that you always have about the city you are in.
Loved all the knits, absolutely beautiful. The hat colors are so pretty.
Congratulations on sobriety anniversary.
