Isn't she pretty in pink?

Not me, silly, the scarf! Her name is Clapotis [Clap-o-tee]. I'm a few years late to the bandwagon... have to say, though, I can understand this pattern's popularity! It was a fun, easy, rhythmic knit, with great results! Can't believe I got this done a month before the wedding I plan to wear it to. Technical details on Ravelry for those who are interested. There are more pictures on Flickr but this one's my favourite, even though it was done purely for the photographer's (D.'s) sake. It was intended only half in jest, but I think it really shows off the scarf quite nicely!

Soundtrack, of course, had to be the below... Pretty in Pink was my favourite John Hughes movie. I had the album (LP!) in high school. I remember taking it to the salon once to request Molly Ringwald's haircut when I was growing out a disastrous poodle perm; one of these days I will get up the guts, Pioneer-Woman or Crazy-Aunt-Purl style, to scan the photo of me with that most horrid of hairdos, and post it here... but not today. I will just leave it to your imagination. And now, if you look closely, you can see my handful of grey hairs... I call them my tinsel.

All right -- enjoy the eyeful and the earful!
