Monday arrived all too soon...
...at least I managed to get a few things done that I wanted.
The biggest job was getting all of my fiber put away. OMG! I have a whole lot more fiber than I thought...it's time to call a moratorium on buying fiber (and yarn, too for that matter). Must.Stop.Looking.At.Yarn.Wench's.Site!
I did not get my sewing machine into the shop. I got involved in spinning the rest of the seawool top and didn't leave the house on Saturday. I finished spinning the singles and started plying the yarn. I'm doing a traditional 3-ply this time:
I'm about 2/3rds into the plying, so I should be able to finish it up this week. When I finish that, I think I'll spin up the Pumpkin Spice Falkland top that I bought from Yarn Wench. The colors are wonderfully autumn:
Saturday night, the husband and I watched "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull." While I watched, I worked on my February Lady sweater—it's a simple enough pattern that I can work on it while watching a movie.
I need to move it to circulars with a longer cable—you can see that it's longer than the circular and I don't want to lose any stitches.
I continued to play with the camera. As you can see from the fiber picture above, it does pretty well with it. However, I ned to play with the lighting a bit more because some of the fiber pictures showed too many shadows.
I love this camera for macro pictures, though. Here's a still life that the Husband composed:
Here's a closeup of the Toga Striped eggplants:
And one of the cross-cut Black Pearl chile pepper:
I need a bit more practice, but I'm pretty happy with the way they turned out.
