Spinning a Yarn

…through the veiwfinder of my smart new E-410, as eluded to a couple of weeks ago. Oh how slack have I been? I’ve been taking a photography night class at one of the lcoal high schools- community education is the new black!

A couple of photos I captured on friday:

On saturday I went into an op-shop looking for some knitting needles and came out with several peices of cotton and two sheets in fantastic condition (the blue fabric on the left). It was my lucky day.

Also found: a small cluster of mushrooms.

I made a knitting bag for a friend for her birthday, complete with homespun yarn, needles and the promise of knitting lessons.

For the bunch of flowers you sent for my birthday.

a) When it is (almost) a marrow

b) When it is a chocolate cake

I’ve been wanting to try this recipe for a while. A friend has a garden at work, and when this beauty grew over the weekend I jumped at the chance to make one of these cakes. So moist and rich (all white flour, no chocolate chips, slightly more zucchini than called for.) Delicious.

My rainbow dyed singles from the other day have become wool.

All wound up into centre pull balls for plying.

Curly-wurly straight off the bobbin.

After a nice wee wash’n'dry. I must use these scales to photograph wool more often.

What to do with approx 1.5 oz (my scales don’t do metric) of rainbow dyed wool?

Nice DOF right? (More on that note to come….)

A distant ocean crashing against my spinning wheel.

A rainbow emerging from my microwave.

Incredible depth achieved by 3 ply.

I need to go back with another set of hands and get low and close.

A good weekend filled with Love to all.
