sit ‘n’ knit nyc

My knitting mojo has been on the fritz, as I’m sure you’ve noticed. I’m knitting in bits and pieces here and there, but I’m lacking the longish stretches that I was accustomed to when I lived in Philly. Plus I’m on the sleeves of the Cambridge Jacket, and we all know what fun sleeves can be.

In order to get myself more inspired, and to meet some new knitters, I joined Sit ‘n’ Knit New York, a meetup group that I’ve known about for a while because of Annie Knits and other bloggers who have mentioned it either to me directly or on their own blogs. Little did I know that the group organizer, Anne-Marie, is actually THE Annie of Annie Knits! She welcomed me by name (Minty)–it took a bit but then I put it all together. (Or maybe she just told me who she was, and it required no “putting together” but I finally understood.)

christmas in new york

More holiday decorations in my new city! My dear friend Num Num said that she loves seeing her city anew through my eyes. I hope you enjoy it, too. Another friend used a photo of these lights as his Christmas card from last year; I had to do it for myself, too. Consider this my holiday card to all of you: I couldn’t get it together to mail any out for real this year.

I think the sounds of New York are just as compelling as the sights. Here’s the jumble of sounds from my wait on the subway platform last night. I can’t get the plugin to work for uploading a video myself, so please click here and watch my very first YouTube upload!
