A yarn crawl in NYC? Dream trip! What a shame I am stuck in country Victoria, Australia! Have fun all!
Oh how I wish I could be in New York for this!
I wish I could but I am stuck here in the intense heat of Dubai.
All the best to all those who participate in the Yarn Crawl and especially those that visit the Purl Soho.
I <3 NYC and would love to be up there for this, I am in Florida at the time of the "CRAWL" but wish the participants a fabulous time and please share pics =)
Gah! We will be on a bus trip to NYC from upstate on next WEDNESDAY! Oh well, Purl Soho was on our to-do list and shall remain so…
I would give my knitting needless away to be there but live in South Africa
Well done Purl Soho, you never cease to amaze me with your brilliant inspirations, and now this wonderful idea.
Wish I could be there….can you do one for Los Angeles as it is nearer to Tahiti, French Polynesia. Have fun.
Wow, this would be one of my dreams come true! How I wish I could be in NYC for this yarn crawl and finally get to purchase at Purl Soho. There will come the time 🙂 All the best! Hugs from México City.
I can’t make it from Texas with such short notice but will make up my own NYC yarn crawl at the end of October. I look forward to the visits.
Only reason to miss this is a Grandchild’s 1st b-day.

I can’t imagine anything more delicious. Worth getting my Canadian passport so I can travel again. Love New York!
I’m coming from Chicago to visit my daughter next weekend (9/16-19) sniff sniff. We are coming to your store anyway as I love your emails and am a voracious knitter.
This inspires me to go to New York but such a long way from NZ
Wish I could be there. While living in NY I was able to do the walk. Now in AZ. I can dream
I WILL be in New York on these dates — and I can hardly believe my luck. I have had a trip planned, since last year, to travel from Victoria British Columbia (Canada) to New York. Pearl Soho was certainly on list of places to visit … and now, it’s even better!!
Whooops — I meant “PURL” Soho.
We moved from Long Island to southern California back in 1996 – and just can’t get back to this fun event!
I’m emailing all my NY friends about this event … hope they can participate.
I live in Chicago and have ordered yarn from Purl Soho for many years. I will be visiting my son in Brooklyn on the same weekend of the yarn crawl….I told him I am so darn excited about visiting Purl Soho that I am hysterical. See you soon.
I wish I may I wish I might have the wish I wish tonight. I wish to attend the Crawl in N Y C!
It’s nice to know that I’m not the only one who hasn’t visited the store. I love receiving the inspirational emails with beautiful photos and exciting yarn colours
I would love to see photos of the store
I live near Toronto, Canada
Have a fun time!!
I wish I could be there!
Love from Portugal

I would dearly love to be in NY for any reason. This yarn adventure sounds great. Can not make it this year from Atlanta but will plan better next year. Wish that I could have all of the knit responders over for coffee/tea and host a knit in …
