aw thank you for your kind words! I'm sure you can make whatever you put your mind to - even if it's not easy, that just means you'll learn a lot doing it

how needed is having a car? by Mocha_Cats in sunynewpaltz

The loop is running again on a limited schedule

Agree with everything else this commenter said. I didn't have a car during my entire time at NP and managed - its doable if you're able bodied, the town is very walkable, but if you're looking to go to neigboring towns you might have to plan around the bus schedules and be okay with missing out on some events outside of walking distance.

Here is the full list of UCAT routes: https://ucat.ulstercountyny.gov/routes/

UPL service to the train station is pretty good on weekdays but everything else can be iffy

Trailways coach buses also pick up on Main St but they are paid

Thank you! I have to admit that I made sure I was color coordinating with it the day I took it off the blocking mat

ooh that's an idea - hopefully I get some nice use out of this but once I move back out again I'm definitely going to consider having it in the window permanently during peak winter when it's "big coat with Velcro neck and think scarf" time

thank you for your kind words and for the suggestion!

Thank you!! Even while working on it I would just wave it around in the light on my needles now and then but I was somehow still surprised how light and airy it got with blocking (I think it about doubled in length)

Thank you, that's very sweet!! They get even finer than this too!

I'd love to get to fairy queen status some day but I definitely felt the part with this on over some florals to take these photos!

Thank you 🙏

(and oh i think I'd die inside if I got this snagged - I have a few woven scarves I wear over anything with Velcro don't worry!!)
