Well I have finally sorted out my photos! Although we had been to Boston before, this was the first time in the Summer and that can only mean one thing – Baseball! Most the time you see Jason he is wearing a Red Sox Cap, so as a belated anniversary present I brought him tickets to see the Red Sox play at Fenway Park.

Time Square – we stayed just around the corner – Thank you Priceline!

Seeing as we were in New York the same weekend the Sex in the City movie opened it made sense to go on the Location Tour and see the film! As you can image the tour was a girly fest, a trip to a sex store, cupcakes and cosmo’s!

So finally I have a chance to update my journal. I made a decision not to bring any knitting on holiday with me – this is meant to be a chance for Jason and I to spend time together without worrying about his sleep patterns because of his shifts, and I didn’t think we would appreciate me knitting on the plane or in hotel rooms – of course now I really miss my needles.

With the pound being so strong against the dollar I had to do some shopping (not to much so far I am pacing myself). But I had to go to the Motherland – and as we were staying two blocks away from 5th Avenue I went to Tiffany’s and brought myself a rather lovely “dâ€? necklace – well I had to treat myself – I also brought my sister a matching “aâ€? necklace, so we really will look like sisters – tacky I know.

Yesterday we went to Soho and of course a trip to knitters’ New York Motherland, Purl Soho. I decided to treat myself (again) and brought the current IK – I never brought a copy of the magazine before – but was looking for some inspiration for more summer knits. Whilst flicking through the books, I saw a few ideas for presents for my Secret Pal, but I want to do a little research online first to find out which one is the best book. But I did pick up a copy of Last Minute Gifts for myself.

Last night as I was leafing through Last Minute Gifts, I was really missing my wool and needles – however, I now have an even longer list of things I want to knit and I still have to read IK. But in Chicago, I am determined to buy some wool to go with my Denise Inter-changeable Needles.

I also got an email from my the person spoiling me – and I have a parcel waiting for me at home

Well it looks like I might be going to America next week (hopefully leaving on the 4th), because flights are so expensive to Chicago we are going to have to go via New York, which of course means a trip to Purl Soho

Last night I couldn’t sleep and I was mentally planning my shopping list.
So far I have

• Denise Inter-changeable.
• Clover Chibi Jumbo Darning Needles.
• Clover Knitting Counter Kacha-Kacha.

I am planning a felted bag for my knitting bits and bobs, so I want to get some Cascade 220.

I have been hunting around online today, and there’s Jo-ann near where we are staying in Chicago so hopefully, I can get some bargain in there – and of course, I have to plan a trip to Arcadia.

Jason should be booking the tickets tomorrow and then I can really plan the whole trip.
