As if a free trip up the Hudson wasn't an end in itself, there is yarn to be had at the end of the journey.

i have been waiting for just the right link on this site to share. But why keep waiting - it is all too good. NY realestate + gossip... from the layout of the olsen twins apt to the new proposal for 2 columbus circle to the dollar value of pale male's nest on 5th ave.

I raised a brow when i noticed the NYC American Craft Museum on 53rd street changed it name to the Museum of Arts and Design... and then sort of forgot. Because after all, haven't we had enough of the ART v. CRAFT debate for this decade? But if you are still interested, or have ever pondered the reason they took "craft" out of their title: "the negative associations for craft were so great that no amount of money could effectively overcome them." To summarize, the bad connotations of Art are "highbrow" (exclusivity) while any bad connotations of Craft are usually "low" (potpourri). So obviously, if you are a big institution that needs a lot of MONEY you refer to yourself as an Art museum, yet still show a lot of craft, which is what all the museums are doing right now anyways. To read further, check out the article in todays NY Times.

Jasmin makes the best hats and she's doing a workshop in NYC 4/23-24. Do it if you can. 6 hour, one-day workshop, learn the art of freeform hand-draping a pre-formed felt cone onto a balsa hat block. Steam, pinch, fold, or twist the felt on a block, dry it, and then hand-stitch it. No sewing machine knowledge is required, just the ability to hand sew. Get in touch with her.

So it turns out that most yoga mats are made of yucky PVC. There is an alternative. And did you know there was a Green Yoga Association?
