I thought Purls' yarn prices were high. Jesus, is yarn THAT expensive in Chi-town? Lord! I notice your shopping bag is not in the picture–was it full of yarn, perhaps? ;-)<BR/><BR/>I'm AMAZED that you link that corner of ninth to Hopper. Shot in that light, made me see it anew. How did you get everyone off the corner? LOL<BR/><BR/>C looks excellent at the Guggenheim!<BR/><BR/>I knew Robert in another life when he had one of his first exhibits at Fashion Moda, in the Bronx. He was such a sweetie, and took some fabulous photos of friends of mine. We hung out a lot and had a geat time. He loved the Bronx and the Bronx loved him. <BR/><BR/>NYC was such a fab, crazy place then. And honestly? I've been to mid-western cities where the crime was much worse per population.

My other favorite is Rosie's Yarn Cellar in Philadelphia.<BR/>They're always well-stocked, their proprietors are smart and knowledgeable, and there're always exciting things being worked on.<BR/><BR/>How happy I am that you see the Strand as Mecca as well. Their txtile selection is the greatest, though not after I've been through.<BR/><BR/>Today I'm looking forward to meeting you even more.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-1124971546950862412005-08-25T07:05:00.000-05:002005-08-25T07:05:00.000-05:00I've been to New York once in my entire life, when...I've been to New York once in my entire life, when I was 15 and played in a concert with a band at Carnegie Hall. Unfortunately, we'd spent the better part of the previous week practicing for the concert at a college in New Jersey and so my sights of NY were limited to the touristy things like the World Trade Center (I have pictures from the top).<BR/><BR/>My cousin, however, born in Topeka, Kansas, and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma, decided upon his graduation from the Univ. of OK to pack up his car with everything he owned and drove to NY without a job, without a prospect. He's lived there ever since and has done very well for himself. <BR/><BR/>I envy him tremendously, sometimes.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-1124958956576922772005-08-25T03:35:00.000-05:002005-08-25T03:35:00.000-05:00Looks like you know how to enjoy a vacation!

The Strand was my source for knitting books when I first started knitting. And a hell of a lot of other books too.<BR/><BR/>My experience in Chicago yarn shops was as you speak. Expensive, and the help was lackadaisical to boot. Went to some awful place off of N. Michigan that was two flights up. But I love Chicago. I'd rather live there than NYC and I'm a native Noo Yawker.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00285597626042261061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-1124919638964616302005-08-24T16:40:00.000-05:002005-08-24T16:40:00.000-05:00THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THAT SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!goblinboxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13636167643991935136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10901468.post-1124906161520588532005-08-24T12:56:00.000-05:002005-08-24T12:56:00.000-05:00thats a lovely picture of C! very nice :)thats a lovely picture of C! very nice :)Anonmoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16283010096967244807noreply@blogger.com
