Quilting is the new knitting is the new yoga
Purl Soho, (www.purlsoho.com), a really beautiful yarn store where I got my Manos del Uruguay for My So-Called Scarf, just opened an equally beautiful fabric store down the street called Purl Patchwork. It is literally the cutest store ever! Check out another blogger’s photos on her flickr stream: http://www.flickr.com/photos/disdressed/sets/72057594083640613/ (Thanks H-Dub for pointing me to these photos!)
I ran into Joelle Hoverson, the owner (and author of Last-Minute Knitted Gifts, and former Martha alum) outside, and she was telling me the store just opened on Monday. It truly is beautiful, and Molly, friend of Maddy (a hilarious blogger and a college friend), is going to be the manager.
It’s a scoop! You, my dear 3 readers, have gotten the newest info on Purl Patchwork! So so so so cute. I would totally take up quilting if I had a sewing machine.

thanks for the link to the purl patchwork photos! i’m one of the suckers who’s got the quilting bug, and i’m sure psychologically it’s happening now because of that dastardly store.
btw – you should join the NYC Knitters Ring!
