November already...
....this year is zipping right along! Wish my projects were!
The knitting is going slowly. The Mystery socks are sitting at the bottom of my knitting bag, while I decide whether to frog them and turn them into a different pair of socks, or soldier on and finish them. I'm not feeling the love for these socks right now.
As for the dog sweater, well, let's just say I have some work to do. I got a chance to try it on the dog—the back fits perfectly; the front, way too narrow. I'm about ready to chuck this pattern across the room! I may just give up and add button bands to the front so it will close. It's at the bottom of the knitting bag, too.
It wasn't all frustrating. I did finish a simple hat for myself...I haven't taken a picture yet, but believe me, the operative word is simple. I'll post the specs when I get the picture uploaded.
I also made some progress on the February Lady Sweater. I'm working down the yoke, trying to get to the spot when I can start the lace portion of the sweater. But each round takes so long to do that I feel like I'm going nowhere fast.
On Sunday, I decided I needed to get outside and walk off some of my frustration. I took the new camera with me and decided to take picture of whatever caught my fancy.
Of course, I took pictures of sky...love me some clouds!
I tried out the macro setting on different plants.
And I discovered that the elementary school just around the corner has rose bushes.
(There are a few more pictures on my Flickr photostream.)
So far, I'm very happy with this camera (Canon A1000 IS). It takes good macro pictures when the operator doesn't mess up (lol!). I need to try it on people next!
