Memorials and Malabrigo....

Last night I had my weekly dinner with my girls, aka the SHE (sisterhood of the epicurious) and when we were driving back from a fantastic greek dinner we noticed that they pentagon is light up with blue lights and a very large US Flag for the dedication of the Pentagon Memorial for 9/11.

We thought we might be able to get a good picture from the Air Force Memorial looking at the Pentagon... I tried a few different things.. The first is the Air Force Memorial, which is actually a really awesome memorial that I hadn't even visited yet...

My friend Sarah was with me so I took her picture with the memorial and the Washington Momument in the background...



These are the four guys that are standing next to the memorial...

I attempted a few different shots of the Pentagon with its blue and the flag, but I couldn't get my regular lense to get a good shot, so I did a longer exposure and got this cool shot with the bus lights...

Oh, I was so excited to get this package! I order some (13 skeins) of malabrigo from Eat.Sleep.Knit on Friday and got this package on Monday. She has the best shipping EVER!!!!! Most of this is for Christmas presents, because I'm actually starting early. I have been itching for the last few days to start a new hat, since I finished one on monday night, but I haven't been able to... Tonight there will be new hats started....

Just a few more pictures of all the mmmmmmalabrigo goodness in the box...

There are a few good neutral colors in there for my brother, Olive, Dark Earth, Marron Mscuro, Verde Esperanza, and Oceanos and they are all worsted weight. Then some fun girlie colors for me, my sil, maybe those cute little ones in the last post... Ava and Lila :) The colors for the girls are Velvet Grapes in worsted, Hollyhock in chunky, Pink Frost in chunky, Hummingbird in chunky, and finally Cuarzo in chunky. I can't wait to get to work with this yarn... It's going to be amazing.. not to mention it's going to feel amazing on the hats... MMMMMMalabrigo...

Next up, a finished hat and some socks that have yet to be seen...

Oh, and my AMAZING new CAMERA bag from CozyLiving on esty... She is amazing, the bag is amazing and it's just the best purchase I've made since my camera. I highly reccommend checking it out if you have a SLR camera...
