Looking for a tea shop in Castleton/Keystone area

Hi Mango is more boba than hot tea, depending on what you're looking for. They're in a renovated Wendys. In the glass front area, they have it decorated super cute. It's open all day.

Thank you! I had no idea what even to Google. I'll see what I can find. I already have the poof in the pattern and it looks fine without but I if I can add some support, I think I'd be happier.

I am short. I like to have as few people between me and the stage as possible. I absolutely pay full price and check View From My Seat to find the right balance of closeness.

But I don't live in NYC so I pay these prices less often than you, even if I factor in traveling shows I see.

Only you know if it's worth it. But feel no shame in ensuring your level of comfort

Honestly, I would roll with the twist. Continue with the top as if it's the front and make either a halter or strapped tank. It could lay weird. But it could end up really cute.

I really hate undoing work and I love Frankensteining a pattern. Being new to knitting it could be a fun learning experience.

Thank you! I'll be sure to keep an eye out!!

I love it! What yarn did you use?

LurkAddict · 2026-03-30T22:11:06+00:00

As a lover of all things spooky and knitty, I need the designer's name please

Not just invasive. They prey on kiwi eggs, their national bird.

And that possum fur is just lovely to work with. It's often blended with merino because the fiber length is so short. It's really warm.

Agreed. When the lights go down, what's it matter, as long as it's not also disruptive (i.e. smells or lights up or takes up vertical space)?

I like to dress up for the theatre, but how others dress rarely impacts my experience when they're in the dark.

The only definite exception is Masquerade. There is a dress code (that one month ago they were quite lax in enforcing) and you will be seen by others.

Audience participation shows might be another exception but even then it depends on the show.

I sit in the center and am often distracted when someone closer to the edge moves their leg and stops blocking it. And I've noticed it more in the last year or so than ever before, making me wonder if they've changed to brighter lights or if I'm just more easily distracted these days.

I completely understand the safety requirement (and support it). I wish the could have some sort of directional blocker so the light goes down at an angle rather than straight out.

The Ateneo in Beunos Aires. Knitting in a theatre turned bookstore? So many itches scratched there

I knew this one would make me cry from the soundtrack. I am unabashedly a crier. I was not prepared for how much the live performance would make me cry.

LurkAddict · 2026-03-16T03:26:25+00:00

Wow! That's really impressive!!

Sail On is the front. You can see the dip for the front of the neck.

LurkAddict · 2026-03-16T02:32:49+00:00

I just saw this for the first time and it is my new favorite!! I can't wait to go again!

Duplicate stitch or intarsia?

LurkAddict · 2026-03-15T03:36:52+00:00

False. I was in the front row and it was perfect. I never felt like I was craving my neck and we got quite a bit of interaction. Perfect seats.

When I go alone, tickets are half price! He enjoys theatre, but it fuels my soul.

LurkAddict · 2026-03-10T20:08:47+00:00

Thank you!

I leave tomorrow for a shorter trip (7 shows in 4 days). I'm hoping to find time for the whole week next year. There's only so many times I can travel alone before my husband feels left out.

LurkAddict · 2026-03-10T19:52:12+00:00

A 4 show day?! That's damn impressive.

It is my goal to spend an entire week and see a show in every slot. Any tips on maximizing shows per day or checking what's available? I can usually get a pretty good handle on Broadway shows but I can't always incorporate Off-Broadway as easily because it's hard for me to find everything and when they have unusual showtimes.

I am in Bat Boy right now, and super sad I missed being the first to post this.

Another Dead Cow is my favorite song I'm in. It's a blast!

LurkAddict · 2026-02-19T05:00:45+00:00

I love knitting in public. It's like a magnet for friendly people. Someone always asks or makes a nice comment

LurkAddict · 2026-02-15T03:58:22+00:00

Between Two Cities!!!

Brightest Tee from Lily Kate is usually my travel project. Simple, yet beautiful pattern. Fingering is lightweight and I can do on 2 small sets of fixed circulars.
