poor planning on my part does not constitute an emergency on yours
But, it just occurred to me to ask: What are the cool yarn stores in NYC? I’m heading up this afternoon to visit with a friend prior to bridal shower festivities Saturday night. My friend, who I haven’t seen in months, and I will be hanging out all day Saturday, and I thought if there were a yarn store in Manhattan that was highly recommended, I could steer us in that direction. She’s not a knitter, though I’ve taught her and she is always saying she needs a refresher. I’ve read so many great NYC blogs that talk about LYSs but the store names never imprinted on me! Purl? Any comments between now and tomorrow morning will be much appreciated!
Valerie recently posted NYC YS reviews on her blog. they are arranged geographically–so that should help you.

I didn’t make it to Purl when I was in the city last month, but I have heard it is great! I did make it to School Products and Yarn Connection though - they were both really nice too! See my post for reviews and links here.
Have fun in the Big Apple!
