Does anyone remember those “Choose Your Own Adventure” books? The ones where you got to the end of the chapter and it said something like “What do you do now? If you want to find the missing hamster, go to page 60. If you want to ride your bike to soccer practice, go to page 4.”

Now that DVDs are so popular and have the “chapters” capability that allows one to jump around the disk, wouldn’t it be cool to have a “Choose Your Own Adventure” movie? It would mean a lot of filming for the cast, but so what? And I don’t just mean for kids, although the possibilities there are endless. But think of a thriller, or horror movie. YOU tell the character where to hide, or whether or not to cheat on his boss, and the movie plays out the consequences of your choices. I think that would be awesome!

(I know they did something similar with the DVD release of -I think- Final Destination 3, where you could choose whether a character lives or dies based on the flip of a coin. I’m thinking of something different, a truly interactive movie.)

to all those who came to my blog while I was on my honeymoon and complimented the Poodle Skirt…thank you! I’m so happy that my tutorial could help even one person, much less the bunch of you who thanked me for putting it out there, and telling me that you needed something like it and found my link. Whether you found me by browsing or via Craftster…thank you!

but not wedding photos, I’m still going through those.

This is the progress on Yannick’s Birthday Socks. I’m not letting myself knit anything else until this pair is done and on his feet.Check out that symmetry! I managed to get them both started at exactly the same spot! I like fraternal socks every once in a while, but this pair twinned up perfectly!

This is the Honeymoon Shawl (Fiber Trends’ Shoalwater Shawl). It will be next to finish once the Bday socks are done.You can’t tell from this photo (lace photographs horribly pre-blocking!) but this shawl is actually pretty big so far.
I tried to show a bit of the lace, but since this pattern is more flowy- than patterned, it doesn’t show well.

Remember the Bowling Socks? I’m thinking they’ll be a Hanukah gift now, as I have a lot of stuff I want to knit before next summer…and the time keeps ticking away.

On a last note, here’s something we found at the Dollar Store near my grandmother’s condo in Hallandale. Proof that you can buy anything in the States.Moses- the Action Figure!

It would do me good to remember that I have a blog and you know, update it once in a while.

Good news- the honeymoon photos were recovered! My uncle gave the disk to his technician who was able to get them all back for us! Maybe 6 or so have black bars across them that ruin the photo, but I can’t complain because all the others are perfect.

I did some knitting on the honeymoon (not when Y and I were together, only when I was alone saving seats or while he ws rollerblading) and am somewhere about 3/4 done the Shoalwater Shawl which I will always call my Honeymoon Shawl. It will actually take a bit longer to finish because once the shawl itself is done (which grows 4 sts every 2 rows and thus takes longer for each row) I still have the knitted border. As soon as I finish Y’s birthday socks I will be finishing the shawl.

This photo doesn’t show all my progress…it’s just what I took on the plane on the way down to Florida. I am waiting for the all-clear from my uncle before I start using my memory card again and can take new pics (my Canon doesn’t have internal memory). I have finished the bottom chart, a full repeat of the top chart, and halfway through the second repeat.

I will be posting some wedding photos over the weekend once Yannick and I go over them and choose the nice ones. 😉

To Nicole: I might be able to make you a poodle skirt by your deadline…please email me directly (as in, don’t comment here) because with the comments I don’t have an email address for you.

To everyone who wished good wishes on the wedding and honeymoon…thank you!

Hi!

I’m back!

Had a great time at the wedding! Everything and everyone looked beautiful and the food was out of this world! I know there are a million photos of the wedding floating around in cyberspace from all the guests who brought digital cameras and uploaded the photos to online albums…but I’m too lazy to go find one right now. I just got back and I’m still vegging.

The wedding was a real party, with the last guests leaving at almost 3am!! We’re a party animal bunch, let me tell you. The next day we had a brunch for the out-of-towners, and then Yannick and I spent the rest of the day and night packing because Tuesday morning we left for our honeymoon.

The honeymoon was a blast, both the weeks in Florida and the parts on the cruise. I would have photos to upload and show off…but…(this is embarassing)…on the last night of the cruise, at the end of the 2nd week of our 3 week honeymoon…I accidentally erased the memory card in our digital camera.

I know.

So there are no photos to show…but we’re seeing about having them recovered, if possible.

In the meantime rest assured that I had a wonderful time, am rested, am somewhat tanned, am happy, and am loved.

I wish the same to you all, especially now during the holidays.

L’Shana Tova and Happy New Year to everyone.
