And yes, that's a crochet hook. My knitting is on size 11 needles and the markers won't fit. Not that I need 'em for that particular project.
Speaking of project, here it is, My so-called scarf in Manos, color: mulled wine. I love this yarn. It is beautiful, the colors are stunning, it's squishy, it's a joy to knit with. I only started this morning, but this is knitting up very quickly, and I think I'll make a hat to go with it.
Sorry for the sideways image. Too lazy to flip it.

oooohhhh that is the most amazing yarn ... so beautiful. and nothing beats some lovely stitch markers.
except, maybe, the fact that THE CURE ARE TOURING AUSTRALIA which is making me feel slightly demented with joy.

Holy bananas! Those are gorgeous stitch markers!
Just wanted to let you know-- they have a basic weight scale at Target, with just a dial. I think it's pretty cheap also.
Love the stitch markers.
Mmm...mulled wine colored yarn *and* stitchmarkers? What more do you need?
Don't you love that stitch pattern? It's kind of addictive, really. And combined with Manos and new markers...life is just good.
That yarn is goooorgeous!! Goodness. And I love the stitch markers. On a crochet hook. Which is something I will probably never, ever master.
Oh, wow. Look how that's knitting up! So beautiful.
That is gorgeous yarn. I really need to make something bigger out of Manos or Malabrigo . . .
Yummy, these stitch markers are absolutely beautiful! And your scarf is even more so, it's going to be awesome! I'm totally in love with the yarn you're using, this colourway is to die for!
Those stitch markers are pretty! I can't wait to try out Manos. Your scarf is coming along quite well! :D
Nice in-progress shot of the scarf - all that in one day, impressive!
Love the stitch markers!! Very pretty!
I have some Manos and haven't decided what to do with it yet!!
Scarf is looking good! Love those colors!! But then again, Manos is any color seems pretty to me :)
That scarf is looking really nice, what beautiful colours. And stitch markers too... they are fab
ohhh that colorway makes the scarf soooo pretty (pet the scarf) I'm so impressed with how m-s-c-s looks in verigateds!
Those stitch marker are gorgeous..very leopard like.
I love the pattern for "my so called scarf" I have made two in a bulky yarn and love them. Yours will be perfect in puuuuurrrrrrppple!
I made a hat using the My So Called Scarf stitch pattern. (It's on my blog.) The pattern is in the band and the rest is stockinette. I loved making that scarf.
Hi Batty,
Thanks for your comment on my shawl! To answer your question, I just used a plain old long-tail cast on. I'm usually too lazy to learn other cast ons. I don't remember what my total # of stitches caston was, but I think I did 7 repeats wide instead of the 5 in the sportweight pattern. And it came out plenty wide.
That Manos looks delicious!
Gorgeous yarn!! I almost picked up a hank of that yarn on Saturday. I need to try that scarf, love the stitch pattern.
Gorgeous stitch markers. Wow.
On a side note, every time I see your name on the board or a blog, I get "doing the Batty Bat" from Sesame Street stuck in my head.. i love that song.
