green_marthaI have to admit I sometimes take two pictures a day to make up for a missed one. And my son's pretty practical as a model - though he's sometimes a wobbly one.
My row counter on my current sweater**. I did not originally want a pink one but it was the only one with the features I wanted.
WiP on my desk. Has been in progress for months but it slowly nearing completion. Maybe I'll even keep it afterwards !
Can we say "uninspired" ?
Most of the time, the cat just flees. She wasn't quick enough this time. B&W was the only thing that sorta saved this picture, though. My old digicam is definitely not cutting it.
I don't know what those spiders are - we have a lot of those here-, but their nests are very pretty, especially just after the rain.
As I said, my son's a good model. The finger marks on the DSLR's lens might be his, though...
I'm making a 18th century/pirate coat for my brother out of a former 1892 evening cloak. The cloak had decorative stitching I had to unpick. Blergh.
See above...
I actually carried this in my bag the other day. This is my etching tools set, properly stored in a box with an etched metal plate on top. It's the best way to explain printmaking to people when you're working on it, actually !
I bought wool today. I couldn't choose just one colorway and I love this Rayure Double yarn (a Noro lookalike and so pleasant to knit...) so much that I took both the orange and the blue one. Plus a red wool/acrylic blend for another project I have in mind. Oops ?
**Which leads me to a question : why do people knit so many scarves and little felted bags ? I searched Ravelry for ideas of what to knit with Rayure Double and got overwhelmed with !scarves! and !more scarves! projects. I don't want to knit a scarf out of this. I love the yarn for a sweater, but it's too scratchy for my neck. And besides, I have a dozen scarves already - actually, they'd be called shawls by most people, but the thing is : I have enough of them ! I want to knit things that I will actually wear - because I have to at least somehow justify my yarn splurdges, even though knitting a sweater often costs me twice as much, not including time, as buying one. Crazy world that we're living in. The point is : I want knitting patterns for feminine and pretty sweaters and cardigans. And I want something not too plain that will still display the variegated yarn without looking stupid.
BTW, I still need to frog Pinky and to take pictures of its littel brother, Amulette. It'ss the same sweater, just smaller - and since it's the same colors as my cat, it has the same name.
