It was warm and humid today and with the park still showing off some late fall colour, we had a lovely walk.
We planned our route and stopped in at Knitty City on our way back, after the museum. I bought a skein of lovely stuff to make a hat for Christmas for Sarah – I will make Andrea Hilton’s new Samoa pattern. I also picked up a luxury skein at the request of my clarinet knitter friend, Lisa, who wanted to try a silk/yak blend. Isn’t it beautifully vibrant?
I won’t be going to Purl Soho while I’m here. I know it’s a hotspot for knitters, I just know myself and my budget I would like to try to make it over to School Products Yarn tomorrow as it’s the oldest yarn shop in NYC and is supposed to have decent pricing on cones of yarn.
SQUEEEEEEEEE!!!
[the best response to thel ovely skein that’s heading my way!!!]
It’s beautiful and very, very soft!
what a great trip…..
enjoy (i’m in a group that gives 45 minute papers every week…this year we’re doing ‘NYC’ as our theme—-just heard all about subways, taxis, and uber this morning—-transportation in the city. sounds sort of boring but it was really really interesting!!!!!!)
That doesn’t sound boring at all! There’s so much to this city, it’s really hard to decide what to see and do
I have yet to be IN a yarn store while in NYC. I want to be in one but I am surrounded by non knitters (what??). Maybe next time. Love that you did see some yarns.
I’ll go back with you if you want!!
