Margit's Micro Photos

Margit has a new way to take pictures with her iPod:

These are flower petals! Aren't they amazing?

For Erin

Okay, this is what I look like today. And that's how long my hair is. And, that's a bad example of the way I've been fixing my hair for the hot weather.

My New Boyfriends

Number 40 just arrived! The green is better than it photographs, but not much.

Christmas Shawl 2011

It started with a little ball of yarn in a jar, and grew pretty rapidly:

The ball got smaller . . .

The shawl got longer . . .

Until finally, it didn't fit in one picture:


Or if it did, it was a really long picture:

When it dried, I folded it up.

Packed it back in its wonderful Japanese silk bag (thank you, Mayra!).

And generally made it ready for its grand tour trip to Seattle before being mailed to Belgium. Christmas 2011 is on its way!

TV for Knitters?

I found this in the paper this morning in an article by Joe Flint:

". . . digital-age audiences don't just focus solely on their screens these days. . . . networks executives are facing viewers who are often fiddling with their computers, phones or iPads."

Sound familiar? My tv has pretty much been a radio for years. Now, they are going to start creating shows for people who are only half-way paying attention -- tv for knitters, spinners, needlepointers, beaders -- finally!

New Camera

Here it is, the very first (out of focus) picture with my new camera:


It's Bev's next skein of yarn, 100% Blue-faced Leicester.

Broken Camera

My camera stopped working in the normal way right after Barbara died. I'm going to buy a new one to take regular pictures, but I'm going to keep this one and use it because it's so cool!

That's Bob Hughes, my Clark College advisor.

We were at Lapellah, in the bar. This is the view I had out the window.

I think this might be what was on the table . . . .

This is Anne & Jim's house out my window.

I don't know what this is! It might be a picture of the bar and bar stools.

The camera comes and goes. This is the most recent picture of the tree in the back yard.
