Last Saturday, instead of traveling down to Maryland for some Sheep and Wool, I met up with my good friend, Cordelia, for some falafel, yarn, books, and ice cream. We met up at the Union Square Farmer's Market. It was a busy day in Union Square because there was also a protest against the Arizona immigration law. There was also a march in favor of legalizing marijuana. (I don't think they were related.)

After some yummy falafel, we walked around the market and happened upon Mario Batali signing books! I attempted to Kinnear him, but chickened out because the iPhone isn't conducive to Kinnearing. But then later, we saw him again and some lady said, "Mario can I take some pictures?" And he said "sure" and started posing with produce, so I jumped in and took a few myself.

We then took a walk to Purl Soho and browsed around the store. We both picked up some lovely Koigu. I'll take pictures and share soon. After a visit to the Strand, we were in need of ice cream and so walked to a Ben & Jerry's (yum!).

It was a lots of walking, hot type of day, but very fun!!
