Hi everyone, I hope you're enjoying the week. I belong to a small group of knitters and crocheters that get together and meet at the Barnes & Noble Cafe in Union Square, New York City, once a month.
I look forward to this meet up, and since I was early, I decided to take a few photos of the area to share with you.
Below is a statue in Union Square Park of Abraham Lincoln, and there are many other statues, trees and benches, with people just sitting and enjoying the park.

I just love how pretty the park looks, and there are even tables to sit at and perhaps eat lunch.
There is also the amazing Union Square Greenmarket which has many different vendors selling all kinds of fresh vegetables, fruits, plants, flowers, and food from many farms. This is so fun to visit and shop for various items.
These cute blooming sunflowers are one of my favorite summer flowers.
Finally, I arrive at the Barnes & Noble Cafe and sit with my friends, enjoying coffee, looking at crochet magazines, and crocheting potholders!
Some of you may recognize my crochet potholders from Instagram. You can follow along with me HERE @brklynhousewife. I look forward to becoming new IG friends.
I really enjoy our meetings and it's sometimes fun to see the reaction and smiles on peoples faces when they see us knitting and crocheting together.
Have you ever knitted or crocheted in public?
By the way, while I was in Barnes & Noble, I had some time to look at the books. I was so looking forward to reading a new book, but believe it or not I didn't see any that I wanted to read. If you are reading any good books, and have any recommendations, please let me know in the comments area.
If you would like to make one of these potholders, you can click HERE for the pattern. The cotton yarn I used is Sugar'n Cream, Holly Jolly Prints. The crochet needle is US size I.
Thanks for coming along with me for my little tour of the park, greenmarket, and Barnes & Noble.

If you are ever in New York City, please take the time to visit this area, as there's a lot of shopping, restaurants, the park, and of course Barnes & Noble Book Store.
I hope you all enjoy the rest of the week and weekend.

Thanks everyone and enjoy!
