Hello there

tumblr_n6daio4Jwm1splrdyo1_500Just dropping in to say hi.  It’s June which in NYC, that means lots of warm weather and absolutely no knitting.  I did make a small exception for this small TFIOS related project.. although it’s now officially too warm to keep working on it.

Do you have any yarny projects you’re itching to get back to once it cools down?

My Latest Trip to Purl Soho

jpeg-5
Every year, I make at least one trip to Purl Soho here in New York City.  Their shop is just so cozy and happy with beautiful yarns in every shade.jpeg-4

The wall of yarn is a sight to behold!  This is the “fancy” yarn wall whereas the other side has more affordable brands like Cascade 220.  They’re all lovely and I always just want to buy ALL of it :)

jpeg-6They also have fabric in every color that inspires me to one day take up sewing.  I tend to not be as patient when, say, sewing on a button so I’m not sure if I’ll ever really get into ‘real’ sewing and making tote bags and clothes.  Time will tell!

jpeg-3There are so many notions like embroidery and regular threads and, not pictured here, are all the crochet hooks and knitting needles and the buttons.  Oh, the buttons!

If you’re itching to make a stop, please do!  If you’ve been, what’s your favorite thing or things to get here?
