visiting with christine

it was an incredibly beautiful and warm day. janet and i took christine to the chocolate bar, where we sat and talked and knitted for a little while. then janet ran off to get her boys off to wayfinders, and i took christine home to pick up morgana and chanda. we decided it would be nice to take christine to see the high line and then to purl soho.

these are a few flower pictures from the high line. as you can see, it was very spring-like and summery up there! the bees were buzzing, the sun was shining . . and the purple flowers were blooming.

the cattail seed heads were fully out,

and the leaves have turned color, but with the warm air, it feels very odd.

we had a nice walk through the village to soho and to purl. it's such a pretty store . . a little pricey . . but pretty! there was some koigu on sale, and christine picked up a skein, which i added to. i thought she might like to make the chevron scarf from last minute knitted gifts. hopefully, i'll get the instructions to her before she leaves thursday afternoon.

of course chanda sniffed out some lollipops they had by the cash register. they looked so delectable that i couldn't resist either.

aren't they pretty? i think this flavor was raspberry. i had lemon, and christine had orange.

m and c and i had to rush off to music lessons. luckily, we made it in plenty of time for morgana to get a little practicing in before her 2:30 lesson.

chanda's lesson begins 30 minutes after morgana's. this is very good, as she practices for that half hour in the practice room before her teacher arrives.
