Lake County Fiber Arts Fair Photography Class

By -


These lovelies were captured on my walk today. If only everything was as easy to photograph as flowers. It is almost cheating to publish these images. How can you miss? I used my Sony digital camera.

It is safe to say that my old Fuji camera was my favorite. It didn't know how to take a bad picture. I am still learning about this Sony. I have to say that the storm cloud images from Minnesota last week, were all due to the Landscape feature on my Sony. I'll give it credit for those. Overall, however, I wish my old Fuji was still operable.

Which leads me to my news. Karen was over knitting with me this morning. She singlehandedly, (the knit hand that is) saved a loose stitch from my shawlette, taught me the Bee Stitch for potential use with my sister's blanket, and mentioned the class at the coming Lake County Fiber Fest....

Franklin, of IT ITCHES, fame, is teaching the class. It is a photography class. Now, Donna Boucher, I still have a goal to take one of your classes, but this one is so close! There was only one slot left for the class of 15. And ...I ... got .....in! It is a Friday class, so I can attend.

I am so excited about this venture. Just meeting Franklin will be wonderful. Learning how to take better knit blog pictures will be such fun.

Many thanks to Karen for this timely tip! I feel very lucky indeed.

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
