Getting those UFO’s Done
I’ve been working on a few knitted items that have been on the back burner for awhile. Now I’m down to only 4 unfinished objects.
This hat, a Jacques Cousteau, hat was rather quick to finish. Easy pattern.
Now this mitt was NOT EASY!! The pattern, a graph, is done in grey and white. Makes it difficult for old eyes to see well. Had to use a line magnifier to be able to read the line I was working on.
Only one more mitt to go and I’ll be done with this pattern. I don’t think I’ll be doing a repeat unless the designer decides to do the graph in color or at least make it larger…like 6 feet by 4 feet.
Here it is December 22, 2012 and I finally finished those Fighting Words Mitts. I will definitely NOT be making any more of these.

PHOTOGRAPHY: I love taking pictures. This all started when I was a kid. I had the infamous Kodak 110 and the Polaroid “shoot the picture out, coat with preservative” type, and 35mm Canon. Then I discovered digital. WOW! is all I can say. My first digital was a Kodak 2.5 megapixel. It was great for its time. Since then I have advanced some, currently owning a Kodak 10.1 megapixel camera with a wonderful zoom lens on it. I love being able to “see” my pictures BEFORE I print them and know that they are in the camera. Even though the 35mm was versitile, I didn’t know until the film was developed whether or not a particular picture was going to be good or not, or if the camera was working properly, etc. That can be a bummer if you’ve gone on vacation with a non-functioning 35mm and you don’t know it until you get back home.
KNITTING AND CROCHETING: Knitting is one of my most favorite things to do in addition to taking pictures.
SOFT SCULPTURED DOLLS I love sewing dolls or soft sculptured animals. They are just fun to create. Most of the time they never come out just like the photo on the pattern, but that makes them unique.

I don’t really block socks at all, I just use it when taking pictures. I think it makes the socks look much better, especially when it has a stitch pattern that draws in a lot.
