Amidst the craziness of New York Fashion Week, and hot on the heels of their Inventory event, the Wool and the Gang New York team headed to the City Bakery last Thursday for their Hot Chocolate Festival. A relaxing evening of hot chocolate and knitting, or so they thought! Who knew so many people shared our combined love of hot chocolate and knitting? The atmosphere was great and the City Bakery was heaving to the seams with excited knitters of all ages. There was even a queue to the end of the block when the girls arrived 30 minutes before it started!
The event brought together all the different yarn stores from around the city, each one giving different workshops and demonstrations. Throughout the evening, as well as learning some new knitting tricks, guests feasted on some truly yummy delights from the genius chefs at City Bakery (their cookies alone are worth a flight to New York). Not to mention the numerous flavors of hot chocolate that were free flowing. There were special prizes to be won throughout the night and on top of that everyone went home with a goody bag full of treats from both City Bakery and each of the knitting stores that took part.
Wool and the Gang were holding a beginners knitting workshop and the girls had so much fun meeting everyone and helping them get to grips with their new hobby. They've also had several of their new found friends come and visit them at the studio/shop since the event, all of whom confess to now being officially hooked on knitting!

Workshop at POP UP BAR vitaminwater
Last thursday, at the POP UP BAR, a mysterious place squatted by la clique d'André and vitaminwater — the cute colorful water bottles having a very hype launch in France — the gang was invited to handle a very private knitting workshop.
Submerged in balls of wool, needles and cute bottles, we invited artists, models, dj's, writers, muses and favorite bloggers. Some learn the primary tricks with our teachers Sara and Alison while other chic types sit themselves on the big couch, talk, gossip... needles going crazy.
While video tutorials are projected on the big screen, Lili is fighting to find a pair of needles to give to a demoiselle looking for a knitting experience. Some men are circling around, some brave ones have a go, well... it's a success ! Around us about thirty girls knitt at the same time. Gossip, cocktails and petit-fours in a really cool atmosphere, to the sound of a nice playlist.
After two intense hours, it's already time to say goodbye, show to friends what our knitted creation looks like... could be a mask from outer space... exchange facebook contacts under the euphoric effect of the knitting session. It's like a breath of fresh ar... so exciting for us to watch everything come alive... and the joy of everybody asking more... We promise we'll be back soon to knit with you !
