A Friday Spring Night in NYC*

Posted in Dying, Fiber Artwork, Knitting, NYC at 6:55 pm by delipics

I had a spontaneous meet-for-a-Friday-night-drink with a friend at a bar/restaurant near Grand Central Station. I wish I had paid attention because I do not know the name of the place. It is underneath the overpass to Grand Central, and if you listen carefully over all the bar chatter, you can hear the cars driving above.

I walked there from work (Chelsea) to 42nd Street and the city was just amazing. This was the first day to hit the 70’s and the city was hopping! I walked up Park Avenue South and there are about three blocks worth of blooming trees right before Grand Central. I wish I had my camera, yet, no — sometimes it is more important to have the memory.

So now I am home eating the tofu teriyaki Bento box from my local sushi place, Las Vegas on the tube and catching up on my blog reading:

Thanks so much to Fluffa for the compliments on The My Guy Hat NYC Trek. Check out CurlsandPurlsNYC to be updated on her sock knitting and to see her cute, spring-ready, open-toe-shoe toes. I learned from Fig & Plum that tomorrow, April 1st, is Flash Your Stash Day 2006. Tres Chic Veronique is rocking with her Rapunzel! And see the links to some cool knitting projects via Not Martha.

Now for this weekend — I am refocusing. Does this happen to you? You are busy busy busy with a fiber project(s), then !BAM! you are not doing a darn thing related to yarn. Although you do look longingly at your stash.

One of the following may happen:

• I lengthen the strap on my spring bag and finally sew it together.
• I take photos of my fiber art work so I can post them on my Art Work page. I bought a Sanford & Davis SwitchKit Tripod from J&R so I can hopefully do this properly.
• I finally make something with the yarn I dyed with Kool-Aid
• OR I try dying more yarn now that I have learned new techniques from Kathleen Taylor’s, Yarns to Dye For.
  

Phew!

*All right, this is the last Spring titled entry! Really, I promise! Well, maybe just for the month of March.
