Pre-Harlot Goodness...

...to segregate the ME photos from the REPRESENT pics...

This is how I began my journey - at the Beacon MTA station. Not a bad view, though...

Followed my anal-retentive directions to get to the nearest yarn shop (that was on the way to a pub)...


The Yarn Connection, while difficult to find, was quite a delight. The ladies were friendly, the selection was amazing, and I came away with some very yummy items. I just wish I knew what wireless coffee soda was...badump-BUMP.

Ah, yes. The Gingerman. The stuff of legend with Joe and his buddy Russ. Here, a pint of Captain Lawrence Imperial IPA makes nice with my beer sock-in-progress. I just wish I'd known it was 8% ABV before I drank another pint. But that's another story...

The famous Stout pub. Alas, I could not get in - the bar was packed (at 4pm on a Thursday???), and the dining room didn't open until 5. A good thing, though, since at that point I didn't realize how much I needed to NOT drink at that point. On to the YarnHarloty Goodness...

Hi from Kimberly! NYC was such a blast wasn't it? Please check out the Flickr group I created "Knitters Representing in NYC (and Everywhere Else)" when you can. And feel free to add photos or discussions because we want everyone's stories!
Bunny hugs!

How's that beer sock coming along? It'll be one of my upcoming sock projects, as I've finally found a toe-up cast on that I like.
