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 30

I didn't have a very eventful crafting week. My time was limited and I think the weather is affecting my knitting mojo. I had to work last weekend so my husband picked up the items from the fair along with the help of our daughter. It looks as though she was supposed to get a first place ribbon for her earrings but they forgot to attach the ribbon, or it was attached and fell off. I'll get an official notification in the mail with our winnings in a few weeks. My garden was looking really good, the peppers and carrots had almost completely regrown. I made the comment to myself Saturday evening when I was watering everything that "oh wow its all looking really good." My parents came over for lunch Sunday so I took my mom over to see the garden. We've been busy so they haven't been over since we put in the raised beds. Well, the joke was on me. The deer or whatever it is came back and decim...

YOP: Week 35

Not much to report this week. I didn't do much crafting. I finished the swap, got it packaged up and mailed out. It should have arrived to my recipient yesterday. I'll share what I made. The theme was Favorite Things. She likes the colors pale yellow and deep dark red and dragons, so I went all out with the dragons. I chose Dragon Scale Mitts for the handmade item. I used Madeline Tosh Sport in the Tart colorway. My camera doesn't really do this colorway justice. It has more depth in real life. I think they came out nicely though. I was able to find dragon fabric at The Quilt Shop. I made a reversible project bag. I paired each dragon fabric with one of her favorite colors. Liara really liked the dragon fabric as well. I'm probably going to get some more when I go again. I also sent some stationary items and a bunch of Swedish Fish, which were also things she had req...
