This is the bag that Angela’s markers came in. How cool is this? You register the bag online and can track where its been. I went to check, and I’m the first person to register this particular wrap sack. I can’t wait to send it out and watch its’ progress around the world!

First of all, I received some stitch markers in the mail! I love getting stuff in the mail! These were part of a swap I participated in. The blue ones are from Elaine in California, and the multi-colored ones are from Angela in Virginia. I love them! I’m nuts for blue, and look at the cool (as in not hot) tones of the glass ones! (I accidentally dropped one on the floor right after taking this pic, luckily nothing broke.) I can’t wait to use them! And thank you to both for them, and an extra thank you to Angela for sending me not 5 markers like was asked, but 6! 🙂

After dinner Koko came over and the 3 of us watched Waiting. I love Ryan Renolds. Funny movie. Don’t watch it if you ever want to eat in a restaurant again. I needed something to knit during the movie and wanted to pay attention to the Clapotis pattern but the movie actually makes you watch more often than not, so I made up a little swatch. It’s dk weight yarn and I didn’t measure it yet, so I’m not sure if I get the 19st/25row gauge the pattern calls for, but you know what? It’s a scarf. I’m not worried. If you look closely you can see how the bottom is plied with paler colors, and it gets more red in the middle, and as it gets towards the top it starts being plied with some purple. I can’t wait to see the shots of blue and green pop in. I really, really love this colorway. There is a sheen to the yarn that is probably ‘cus it’s acrylic but I swear if I look really close at it I think it’s silk. I think I’m really going to enjoy knitting this. I hope it doesn’t stick for the dropped stitches.

After the dress shopping (more tomorrow after I decide which, if any, to get) we raced home ‘cus I had to be at Yannick’s nephew (and godson)’s 5th birthday supper. We had about 6 different kinds of gourmet homemade pizzas, then for dessert B pulls this out. Isn’t it priceless? Can you tell what it is? A train. Made of Swiss Rolls. With Cheerio hubcaps. Marshmallow smoke and headlight. Reese’s Pieces lights. I think it’s amazing!
