lemonade stand

m and c's friends had a lemonade stand today, on the sidewalk of their apartment building. it's a special "manhattan plaza" market and people pay $20 for a space to sell their wares. m and c were invited and we joined them for the afternoon. there was a morning rush for the cookies and by the time we arrived, the lemonade jug was only a third full. knitted items and books sold more slowly, but a profit was made! the goal? to raise money for their isadora duncan dance lessons. our friends made a pretty sign and included a lovely article about their dancing with lori belilove and company. it was a beautiful day for sitting (or standing!) under the trees and selling one's goods (though a few pigeons did manage to say hello in a not so friendly way!)


i was enamoured with the knitting basket full of works-in-progress. m's friend was making a hat with a knitpicks variegated and lionbrand's superwash in green. they looked so nice together. the dark blue one above is a knitpicks alpaca and silk blend . . (i think . . )

very inspiring!
