crappy pictures no more
someone i know got an awesome new camera. guess who. guess. guess. guess. guess. guess.
it’s me! it’s a Pentax Optio a10, and it does a lot of things (not the least of which is super macro… SUPER MACRO!) and is awesome and tiny and it takes pictures like this with minimal effort.
click for maximum goodness
the days of me being angry with my picture-taking technologies (or lack thereof) are hopefully gone forever!
the picture is some superwash wool/mohair in a 2ply that’s about worsted weight thick & thin. 144 yards of it and i think it’ll become a scarf some day. or maybe fingerless gloves.
p.s. to jenny - i have the knitting-pattern-a-day one too, and it’s a million times cooler than the crochet one (as much as i hate to say that cuz i do enjoy crochet). i need the dragon scale wrist warmer things if i can ever find the right size needles because i know i have them here somewhere.
YAY!!! new camera’s are a good thing. I’m sure you’re gonna get a lot of good close ups with the super Macro!

Holy cow, that is some resolution in that picture. I feel like I could actually reach right into the screen and hug the yarn. You should totally make some fingerless gloves with it…they are the best. Although I need to put new ribbon in mine (they lace up). Someone…and I’m not naming names, but it was a lurkey little girl cat who loves all things string-like…pulled the ribbons out and got them all drooly.
