Yesterday was my day in the city. BF and I had lunch with a dear friend who was in town so we took the train into Manhattan for lunch and some meetings. After lunch, and between meetings, I met up with Beverly - aka BIK on Ravelry - whom I first met in 2003 when she was taking a writing class. She wrote about me and the knitting group I created while mobilized to Headquarters, Marine Corps the year immediately following 9/11. So Beverly gets credit for coining the phrase Major Knitter and starting it all.
Here we are in the hotel lobby bar of the Roosevelt Hotel, which is perfect for knitting in the afternoon as well as having the advantage of being conveniently located adjacent to Grand Central. We had a great time knitting and catching up. In fact, two hours flew by so very quickly!
Beverly - thanks for being available for such a fun impromptu get together. Hope we can do it again soon!
I never knew the origin of Major Knitter!

Oh, and I dragged out the Faery blob again this week. Now that it's fall, and the interminable baby blanket is done, I'm committed to finishing it before winter sets in!

Knitting with friends is always fun! And are those adult beverages I spy??
