My brother was in town this week to hang out and see the city. Good thing that coincided with the terrible heatwave. Hopefully I'll remember to post some of the pictures of our adventures.

Before he arrived, I'd had planned out what we'd do (this was before the heatwave). And once he got here, I decided, heatwave be damned, we're sticking to the plan. Which included going to the Mets game Tuesday night. It was 95 degrees after the sun set. But I would not be deterred and on Wednesday, we set out for the Brooklyn Bridge because I thought walking across it would be fun (and it was... just don't do it when the temperature is in the high 90s... or low 90s... wait until the temperature is in the 70s... though I guess the good thing about walking it on a dreadfully hot day is that it probably cut the number of people walking across in half... oh and on a hot day, there will be plenty of water "vendors" along the bridge charging only a dollar for water, don't buy it ahead of time).

Where was I..... oh, yeah, so the story for today is that after taking MetroNorth into Grand Central, we took the 6 down to the bridge. And after a few stops, this guy got on the train and sat down across from me...

He is knitting something in the round stranding orange and green yarn (looked like wool) and it had several inches of blue ribbing which was not in the round. I'm thinking it was probably a hat, but I'm not sure. I tried not to stare because I know how much I hate it when people stare at me when I knit on the subway. I wanted to ask him what he was making, but because I didn't have proof that I was a fellow knitter, I didn't want him to think I was just a nosy random person. So I kinneared him.

So awesome knitting dude in the awesome cowboy boots button down shirt, if you are out there, what were you making? And props to you for being able to still think about knitting in this weather, I don't even want to touch mine in the nice air conditioning of my living room.
