Another lesson courtesy of Jessica Sprague. I am really enjoying these bite sized forays into photo editing. These photos are from my iphone, heh heh. the quality is not great but they do the job. If I stick my chin far out enough it hides the wattle.:-))

socks of the blue moon

Some of you may remember my Socks that Rock socks that I started last year. I believe I may have made Blue Moon fans out of one or more of you. Sadly I am reporting that I am still working on the same sock.It seems that one has to knit significantly looser to allow for enough stretch to be drawn over certain ankles. And the ankles in question are not getting any thinner. It has been un knit several times and is now threatening to become a mitten. Not that I have anything against mittens.... I'm just saying....
and I cannot find the book with the charts. I know it is here somewhere. But the yarn is so beautiful. It is such a pleasure to use that I continue to knit and I am now researching thumb holes. I will not be thwarted:)

That is the update from here on sunny summery long Island where I sit, on my, um couch, with my ice pack (bike spill - well I never actually hit the ground-don't ask-nothing serious, no no really it is just a rotator cuff issue--just a small tear-and the doc said stay home, get pt, use ice, take pills get shots, six weeks of physical therapy-are you kidding me?? I don't have time for that!) and my trusty mac book. So I am off for a couple of days. Hoping to heal quickly.

textures day 6

I rather like the way this one turned out.

day 4 -2

jessica sprague's wonderful classes. Day 4

I love this picture so I am reposting. I did some effects and framed as per the tutorials combining day three and day four.
Today I have a day off and so I am doing this at my leisure and may even do some more later.

day three

I decided to do this before I leave for work:) this morning, since Jessica so kindly has the lesson in my mailbox bright and early. More brushes and frame, a filter or two. I don't really know what I am doing but I am having fun. These are two dolls I made some time ago. Prudence and Earnestine, (Gail Wilson Kits) I did this lesson in Pixelmator. One big difference I notice so far is that you don't have as many options to save-they may be there but I have not discovered them yet. There is a thirty day free trial on their website.
