Wow, their reception was at Highlawn Pavillion in West Orange, NJ - it has a magnificent view of the Manhattan skyline, and as this was my first time in the area, I was in awe!
Cudos to my SIL, and her new hubby - considering she planned the wedding from here in Ontario, while her hubby was working and living in California, it was spectacular!
We were driving around Manhattan and NJ on Friday when the weather was "bad". I say this in quotes as being a Canadian, and living in the snowbelt, snow is not such a large issue -- the east coast area where we were, had a mix of snow and freezing rain, but of course it was enough to send cars flying into the ditch everywhere, and close the schools, and a lot of stores/restaurants! I was kinda shocked at that - it even closed Newark and JFK airports, and caused chaos for a lot of the wedding guests scheduled to arrive that day!
I did find a great knitting store, Yarnware , I would recommend this yarn store, they had a great collection, reasonabe prices, but focus mostly on mailorder. They ship to Canada for about $6!! So check them out! I purchased some Berrocco Ultra Alpaca (I love this yarn! See the hat made in early Feb.), Lamb's Pride (as you cannot get it here), Addi's, and other yarn that I cannot remember right now!
As we drove both ways, with my 5 yr old (who had the best behaviour ever, as was able to occupy himself both ways - a total for us of about 16 hrs!)...I started to knit on the way home, the weather was dry and sunny, so I didn't have to help my hubby too much with directions or driving. I didn't think I would be able to do it, as I thought it would be like reading while in the car, and I would feel sick, but no! It worked, and I didn't want to stop! I finished a Mason-Dixon Kimono last week, started another for the trip, which I am almost finished, and also have been working on a teddy bear in a great fuzzy, chocolate brown yarn by Lana Grossa. I purchased the pattern on Etsy, and it is quite a simple knit.
Soooooo for now I am going to watch Deal or No Deal AND Dancing With The Stars and Knit!
Supa!! Talk Soon!
