Whew!  We're exhausted, but excited.  The NYC Yarn Crawl Weekend is over and it was a good one!  (Congratulations to this year's winner of the Raffle Basket:  Alexis Dustinoff.   We saw lots of friends and lots of new faces, as well.  We're thrilled but, frankly, a little tired - yet happy.  Why?  Well, it's Fall in New York, and New York is particularly special in the Fall.  The parks are filled, the weather is downright balmy and people's thoughts turn to making warm and cozy things for the upcoming holidays.
