Mise en train...

A cabal of knitters was sighted yesterday evening on the Metro North commuter rail originating at Grand Central Station, New York City, heading towards New Haven, returning from a self-designed yarn crawl that covered most of the LYS from midtown to lower Manhattan: Habu, School Products Yarns, Purl Soho, Seaport Yarn. Sushi, tea, espresso, vino, charcuterie, chocolate, the acquisition of a Japanese knitting magazine with great designs and unintelligible instrux, and excellent weather enhanced the experience.

Beauteous hand-dyes recently espied at a farmers' market in Bath, Maine.

Mixed bags discovered at Habu Textiles, NYC. These most interesting yarns include silk-wrapped paper, cashmere and silk blends, cotton and silk blends, and a small cone of metallic something or other.
