For the past few days, I have been wandering around with my new Canon G10 camera in front of my face, snapping pictures of unsuspecting victims. I took lots of pictures of DH and the kids, more of the poor defenseless house plants, and mantel decor. It's a pretty deluxe point and shoot camera for people like me who don't understand all that F-stop and aperture stuff.
This knitted doll blanket is multiple generations old... it was made by my great-great-great grandmother and my mother played with it as a child. I wish I had put a coin in the picture so that you could see how tiny the stitches are. i also have to learn what is the best resolution to save these pictures in. Bear with me... there's a learning curve here and it's Monday!
The thread is similar to bedspread weight crochet cotton, knit at a very tight gauge. The camera even picks up the discoloration (which will remain since I am afraid to wash it). I am having fun with my new toy!
I didn't take a picture of my knitting progress. The Chalk Stripe scarf has grown to 36", so I am just past the halfway point.
Hopefully there will be knitting time this week for all of us!
