The sticker on the camera looks like TVE's. I could try and watch it and tell you all about your 15 mn of Spanish fame. Anyway, how typical of any Spanish TV channel to go and shoot in NYC without even bothering to check if there are knitting cafés in Spain (two in Madrid, one in Barcelona, one in La Coruña so far). Urraca from la Tertulia madrileña de punto (back to lurking mode) (unlurking)

You're really moving along. I'm right behind you, though. I want to do waist shapping as well, not sure how...and I WANT TO DO THE KNITTING OLYMPICS! Thanks for pointing it out! Awesome Cowl!

We had our first SNB last night and there was a request for four interviews - one newspaper, two magazines and one tv crew. I turned down the tv interview, convinced once magazine guy not to come, so we just had two. Definitely not as bad...Happy Bday btw (well Japan time anyway!) Yep it’s tiring being a star, huh!!

Did that really happen? Only in NY! Thanks ladies for the one-of-a-kind experience. Hope to be back there soon!

Depending on my mood I may get annoyed if someone stares at me while I'm knitting on the train. Sometimes they look @ me as if I'm crazy. Very annoying.
