There is only so much time to go around, so have to make tough choices… today was too gorgeous in NYC to be inside, but I did get 45 minutes of pure knitting while my son was in swim class. We also went to the river, at Mary’s suggestion (I am so glad the folks in Texas keep us posted…Thanks Mary!) to check out the new installation called "Puzzlejuice" by Orly Genger. A giant crochet project draped on the rocks, made of nylon rope. It is softer than it looks, its
heavy and the kids just LOVE to jump on it. It will be there most of the summer. Why she calls it Puzzlejuice is a puzzle to me. Anyone? 
It is part of 7 or 8 installations, called Studio in the Park in various parts of the Riverside Park complex.
So here is the Bubble Warp. It is a pattern that makes you pay attention a little more, I can’t watch a movie with it, but its fun. Bubble wrap is knit with Koigu from a few years ago. I do not have the color and lot info band anymore, sorry. I love the jewel tones- like precious stones. I tired to take dramatic shots of it, to match Puzzlejuice... The Sopranos are next……….I can knit to that......

Wow, love the color of your bubble wrap socks! And the giant crochet project is too cool...
The colourway of the Koigu is beautiful - love it. And you know what? I honestly thought "wow, that knitting istallation is really realistic", and then I realised it wasn't, it was actually your latest project!!
Love your blog! Great projects. I need to do those fingerless gloves and the color on those bubble wrap socks is amazing.
Wow, what a huge croject project. Wonder how long it took to put together. The yarn for your socks is really beautiful.
Ok clearly I can't read. That yarn is Koigu. I was just so taken with the socks...
That is the most beautiful Koigu colorway...Noro had a similar one years ago, in pinks and greens, but now discontinued, unfortunately. i can't wait to see those socks finished, they will be beautiful.
That crochet thing at the park is very cool; I work with folks in NY and sent them to their blog and they want to know what street it's at so they can check it out
And thanks for sharing your empathy about UFOs/so little time so much to knit!
