All Aboard...the Yarn Bus!!!

There is a yarn shop about an hour north of the city in Irvington, New York. It's called Flying Fingers. It's a cool little place and a cool little town. But the best thing about going to Flying Fingers...is the Yarn Bus. It's a free shuttle service between Manhattan and Irvington and the bus, as you can see, has balls of yarn and needles on the top of the van...brought to you by the same folks that designed the Oscar Meyer wiener truck. On the bus, they give you a free set a needles and encourage people to root through a basket of yarn to work on patches for afghans that are donated to homeless shelters during the ride. It's definitely a fun way to spend an afternoon.
