New York and some knitting

I can't believe a couple weeks had passed since my last post. Traveling and a cold got my attention while I was missing in action.

Manhattan doesn’t get old for us. We recently spent five fabulous days in the city. Favorite experiences:

• Admiring everything at Marimekko's flag ship store
• Devouring a delicious burger at Burger Joint, Park Meridien hotel
• Petting and buying yarn at Purl Soho 
• Eating {daily} Argentinian empanadas from Nuchas empanadas 
• Strolling through the small yet awesome Hester Street Fair

From Purl Soho: Manos del Uruguay Fino in Rosewater and Madelinetosh Merino DK in Calligraphy  I cannot put into words how much I like these yarns. Trust me!

In Progress is a cowl that I am loving so much that it isn't easy to put it down. The free pattern was written by  Cailliau Berangere. 

What have you been working on?
