My friend Vhary has been in town this week (in advance of a move out to San Francisco for grad school) and we met up today in the city and wandered around the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stjohndivine.org\/\">Cathedral of St. John the Divine<\/a>, as I had never been there before and Vhary felt it necessary to rectify this.<\/p>\n<p>I took some pictures, as one does.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/sternel\/5769525279\/\" title=\"St. John's Cathedral 5\/28\/11 by abbieprime, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm4.static.flickr.com\/3442\/5769525279_a55401a452.jpg\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" alt=\"St. John's Cathedral 5\/28\/11\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/sternel\/5769524617\/\" title=\"St. John's Cathedral 5\/28\/11 by abbieprime, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.static.flickr.com\/5145\/5769524617_66e7279e9c.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"St. John's Cathedral 5\/28\/11\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I love grand cathedrals and churches, and I had a wonderful time wandering in all the chapels and corners with Vhary.  Afterwards, she agreed to hold the Traveling Sock for me while we were walking around the grounds:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/sternel\/5770065222\/\" title=\"St. John's Cathedral 5\/28\/11 by abbieprime, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm6.static.flickr.com\/5188\/5770065222_1a10b9ed9c.jpg\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" alt=\"St. John's Cathedral 5\/28\/11\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>(This was supposed to be March&#8217;s socks.  I&#8217;m a <i>little<\/i> behind.)<\/p>\n<p>Once the heat got to be too much, we repaired to a coffee shop and had lunch and lingered over coffee and tea, and then we went to <a href=\"\">Knitty City<\/a>, to look at the yarn and the colors.  Now, Vhary can knit, but she doesn&#8217;t do it often.  Her hobby is blues dancing, which is a horse of a slightly different color.  But she fell in love with this yarn:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/sternel\/5769526119\/\" title=\"Malabrigo by abbieprime, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm3.static.flickr.com\/2524\/5769526119_f0cd3eafe9.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"Malabrigo\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>so she bought it, and I am going to make her a shawlette.  We discussed patterns briefly.  I had one of my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rainydaygoods.com\/simple-things\/\">Simple Things<\/a> with me, which she liked but declared not lacy enough.  She was fond of the sample <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ravelry.com\/patterns\/library\/shetland-triangle-lace-shawl\">Shetland Triangle<\/a>[rav link] hanging up, but I&#8217;m thinking this is not a good yarn for that pattern.  Anyone have suggestions, before I hit the Rav pattern database?<\/p>\n<p>Yes, I bought myself yarn too.
