Miss Janets Knittings

I bought myself a booklet last week on digital photography, and after todays attempts at taking pictures of my latest production, I have been encouraged to start reading in it too! I can't control the pictures I take of black items, but with the close to small-fortune I've paid for the camera you'd think it should be possible somehow.

Anyway, my April-socks are done, in black! Not the best colour to show the cable-pattern, this shot sort of shows the pattern, but in real life they are black. The pink shine is not a digital invention, but the socks were lying on a pink blanket when photographed, I really need to start learning some more about this camera :-)

I'm on a mission to complete old projects, on therefore came across this box:

which contains one front and ½ back of a jacket from drops. I'm not keen on the knitting, never really learned to appreciate 15 mm needles, the yarn is impossible to frog, and the stitches so hard to see due to the black. But I sure would like to wear it, and it shouldn't take long to finish.

If I get enough of black, I simply bring out my new beginners nuno-felting-kit, bought at a handicraft-show last week in Roskilde, from Kartehuset, much more appropriate colour range for spring.
