Thanks for those of you who participated in visiting Vassar college professor, Vicente Rodriguez Ortega's documentary about Prospect Heights... and kudos to Naomi for finishing her sweater. We will still be knitting at Freddy's all season long.

Get crafty in air-conditioned comfort, and knit your ass off with a martini, a frosty beer, wine, or wine from a box. Always available on this night: swift, wool winder, yardage counter and good conversation. Knit PH meets at Freddy's Backroom every 3rd Sunday each month from 7:00 up until around 9:30-ish, or when ever you've had enough to drink. Freddy's Bar is located at the corner of Dean Street and 6th Avenue, near Pacific/Atlantic Station and Bergen 2/3 stop, right down the street from the 78th Precinct. Getting there is easier than getting arrested.
