Knit and Crochet Blog Week Day 3

Day Three:
Experimental Photography And Image Handling For Bloggers.

I'm not good at super spiffy pictures. I'm lucky to get half-way decent pictures of my FO's before they get used or go to a new forever home. I try to take close ups with a minimal amount of crap in the background. If I have a good day with good light, my things actually look presentable. As the proud person of three cats, I always have direction and assistance.

I have a Nokia Lumia, it comes with Nokia apps, specifically Nokia Creative Studio. I thought it was high time I played around with my pictures. (I may have gone a bit overboard.)

I did some cropping, color adjustment and blurred out the sides. I guess the blurr effect is supposed to make the focal object really pop. I don't know if it really works with knitting...

This one is fun, its the color pop feature. I had the app pull out just the orange from these multicolored mitts.

More color pop. I was trying to pull out just one set of stripes, it sort of worked.

This is one of my favorite project pictures to begin with. I used the Quartz color treatment to make it look like an antique, I think anyway.

That was fun!
Until tomorrow, Happy Crafting!

YOP: Week 29

The fair was a success. My items did well and Liara got some ribbons as well. We went to the parade on Tuesday, then down to the grounds once it was over. We stopped by one local vender to grab some jewelry, grabbed some donuts from the Donut Diner then went to see how we placed. Liara entered earrings that she hand-made with clay. They did not place. She entered a beaded bracelet that got first. She also entered three of her drawings. A Pegasus, a bunny and a magical worm. The bunny and the worm received third and the Pegasus received second. The bunny is my personal favorite of all the drawings she's done. There is always a really good turn out in the drawing and photography categories, so she was up against some stiff competition. I'm really happy she received some ribbons. My items are as follows: Rotini Beanie; First Enchantress MKAL; First. Sunburst Potholder; Second. Cow and Hen Dishcloth set; ...

YOP: Week 52

As the year comes to a close, I've been looking at my queue and starting to plan out a few projects for 2025. After having to cold sheep for the majority of this past year, I'm going into next year with some guidelines. When I purchase yarn, I really want to stick to purchasing for specific patterns. I took advantage of Miss Babs annual gratitude sale and purchased specifically for two patterns. I also want to continue to knit from stash whenever possible. I have paired up yarn with patterns for several and they've been moved up in my queue. I'll have more time, so I plan to participate in several swaps in 2025. I'll be getting yarn from these so I'm going to try to stick to swaps only for "unplanned" stash acquisition. I have several carry-over projects I didn't get to this year, which seems to be a theme every year. So tentatively this is my meager list for 2025: - Butterfly--Papillon with Urth Ya...

Year of Projects: Week 53; El Fin.

I thought I'd do a quick review of my Year of Projects. I started participating around week 5 so I'm summing up my year from that point to present. I have 24 project entries on Ravelry. (If I do several dishcloths back-to-back, I usually only make one project entry, so there are more than 24 individual finished items. Direct Link to Goal Post: YOP first post I finished: -3 pairs of fingerless mitts -2 pairs of mittens -2 pairs of socks -5 hats -2 cowls -2 baby blankets -16 dishcloths -1 potholder -1 shawl I have one sock that's going to be frogged and half of another dishcloth that's sitting around because I ran out of that colorway of yarn. I do have a few other WIPs still hanging about from prior to August of last year. (We're going to keep pretending they don't exist.) I made a simple little picture "movie" of my projects, enjoy: As far as my quickly thrown together list: I completed 3/5 of my projected projects......
