I have never been to NY but my son just moved there from AZ and me and my best frined are taking a trip there that weekend, can you belive it? I happened to read this email this morning and I have to say I am so excited, indeed it is like Christmas…I get to visit with my son and participate in the NYC yarn crawl. Will there be one map with all the participating stores, hopefully we don’t get lost. Love your site its very inspirational and so informative. Thanks for sharing,Michele
Such an inviting storefront! You <i>know</i> I’d do the crawl if I was there! When I visited (way back when..before Purl existed) I loved that area of ‘town.’
So jealous I don’t live in NYC! Sounds like a lot of fun. Hope you take and share pics!
Just discovered your website blog – I now realise you are in America and I am here in GB so can`t visit your shop, but the next best thing is to log onto your blog which is the thing I intend to do now I`ve found you.
Best wishes from a friend from England
That sounds like a good reason to come to NY for the weekend! Do you know what color was used on Purl’s door and woodwork? I am in love with this blue!!!
WOW, a dream a tell you a dream! I have to visit. 🙂
