K is for
Many months ago, I abandoned the 2009 ABC Along. I see that the group is up to "Q" and I'm still stuck in "K."
I now hope to catch up.
My ABC theme for the year was focused on NYS /NYC things. And so my K is something only found in NYC.
It doesn't take a psychic to know that my K would be for the best yarn store in NYC--K is for Knitty City!
Wonderful, helpful, friendly staff. A comfortable space. The terrific location (a few blocks from my apartment). Interesting classes. The knitting table where anybody can just drop in and knit for a while. Books and magazines. Needles and notions. And yarn. Oh, yes, the yarn!
Take a peek:
Is it any wonder that yarn just seems to follow me home from there?!
Many thanks to Pearl for providing such a lovely store.
Knitty City
208 West 79th St. (between Broadway and Amsterdam)
NYC NY 10024
212-787-5896 (I have the number on speed dial.)
Open every day except Tuesday.
No affiliation with the store except as the most happiest of customers!

The Magical Fix
Many, many, many thanks to the talented Aryn of Knitty City, the best yarn store in NYC, for fixing the mistake.
I wasn't exactly honest yesterday. What you saw was not only the mistake, but also my attempt to fix it. And I wasn't going down that road by myself again!
Yarn Journey, a zillion million thanks to you for suggesting I ask my LYS for help. I would never have thought to do this. I probably would kept the shawl as it was and gradually grow to dislike it. All I would ever see is the mistake.
Aryn worked magic with the crochet hook. Isn't she amazing?! And, yes, Aryn is smiling in the photo. She was having a good time.
Perfect! I'm so pleased!
From all the fiddling, the stitches that were affected are a little loose. But blocking will take care of that. More magic!
