Wow

Sorry for such a long absence. After a year of planning we are on our USA holiday. First stop was New York, and wow, what a city. Words can't describe the hectic pace of life here, so different to my quiet country town. Our first adventure was crazy, a race from the airport to the hotel, to see Billy Joel at Madison Square Garden (we left the boys at the hotel). Other highlights would have to be top of the Rockefeller Centre, Central Park, ice skating and all the wonderful Christmas trees and decorations. They really know how to decorate here. There was snow on the ground when we arrived, but it didn't actually snow while we were there. It was cold enough though, barely getting above zero the first few days. Thank goodness for my woolly socks!

 

 

 



I loved this giant button and needle in the garment district.

 

I was very pleased to knit my way across the Pacific Ocean. I took bamboo dpn's that I could bear to lose. After knitting from NY to San Francisco, they may even be finished before I get home........not that I'll need them for a few months.
 

I am looking forward to opening my SSCS gift when I get home. Apologies to my poor partner who is probably waiting to hear of its safe arrival. 

Back soon,

  7. Great pictures! Christmas is the best time to experience NYC. We haven't been there for a couple of years, and need to plan a return trip. I'll be on the lookout for that needle and button!

  8. So glad that you are taking full advantage of NYC - it is a personal favourite of the Official Cookie Tester, who has been hinting that it's time for a return trip. Seeing your great pics makes me think that he might be on to something. Enjoy the rest of your trip!
