Stitch Scarf: Purl Ridges
I made this scarf from some yarn that my grandmother had given me. She didn't say what it was made of , and it didn't have a label, but I wish I knew because as nice as the texture and color is, it would not block. As far as I can tell, whatever fiber this yarn is made of will not hold moisture, which is not necessarily a bad thing except when you need it to stay damp to block it. So it still has a pretty strong 'curl' to the center of it. Other than that, it came out well. I'm working on two other projects right now (one, a shawl, I'm almost done with) and I just finished up another stitch scarf (which I still have to block), so I'm hoping to have some of that posted by the end of the month.

Instagram- Summer Sunsets
I'm a little late in posting these here (considering the fact that Thanksgiving is about a week and a half away) but there were some amazing sunsets that I was able to get picture of over the summer (I never got a chance to take my camera out but I took these with my phone). Once again, if you want to follow me on Instagram, the information is at the end of this post :)

Instagram- Wisteria
I haven't done a post like this is a long time and I've taken some very good pictures with my phone to put on Instagram, so I'm going to start doing posts of those again. If you'd like to follow me on Instagram, the information is at the bottom of the post (along with my Facebook page information) :).

Modified Condo Knitting Garter Stripes
I'm going to have to set up an alert on my iPod calendar to remind me when I last did a post, because lately it's Monday, and I blink, and it's Friday. Anyway, this is the second scarf of my Stitch Scarf project. I ended up modifying the original stitch pattern by accident (I think I did this by doing an extra row in one section without realizing it). The original pattern was rows 1-6: knit (with two strands); rows 7 & 9 (RS): knit; rows 8 & 10: purl (with one strand) (repeat rows 1-10). I ended up doing rows 1-7: knit; rows 8 & 10: knit; rows 9 & 11: purl (all with one strand of yarn). I basically ended up with a pattern of of three different stripes instead of two, which hopefully you can see in the photos below (I had taken a picture of the swatch in the book for reference, but I must have deleted it off my phone :/ so I don't have any way to let you compare them at the moment). I have many other things to post so I'll be working on that over the next few weeks (and I'm about halfway done with the third scarf).

Seed Stitch Scarf
I'm a bit behind on posting the Stitch Scarves (which I posted about here: http://wabisabikomorebi.blogspot.com/2015/04/stitch-scarves.html), considering the fact that I'm starting the third one, so here's the first one. This one is just a simple Seed Stitch scarf. I did it in an interesting Lion Brand yarn called Alpine Wool that I came across. It's 100% wool and is considered a roving yarn. The results were really clean and smooth considering how loosely the yarn was spun.

Golden Cowl
Towards the end of winter I decided to try and make myself a cowl that I had seen on a blog. Well, it ended up being a bit of a lesson in choosing yarn for a project and why sometimes you just can't modify a pattern and end up with good results, no matter how simple the pattern or the modification. I can still wear it, it just doesn't lay right on my neck. I know that my two major mistakes with this were not casting on the number of stitches that the pattern called for (I was using the long-tail cast on method and I found out that I didn't set aside enough yarn to do all the stitches) because I didn't think that would effect the outcome as much as it did. I also found out that no matter how nice a yarn feels in the store, I think that for any future projects that call for a bulky weight yarn, I'm going to use one that is not so smooth as this one is, because trying to deal with the ends that had to be woven in was very difficult as the yarn did not seem to hold onto the stitches around it so well. I'll probably try to redo this pattern at some point and compare results.

Technology
Due to major problems with technology (namely that my four and a half year old laptop decided to not function) I haven't been able to post anything in the past few weeks. I finally did replace my laptop and have, for the most part, gotten it set up (Windows 8.1 has been an interesting experience; not only have I had to load a lot of things onto my new laptop that I didn't think I was going to need to but I'm now working on taking off what it came with that I can't see myself ever using). Over the next few weeks I'm going to work on getting what I've been planning on posting posted. In the meantime, here are two medium format photographs. A mix of old and new technology, I shot them on film with a Holga camera and then scanned the negatives and edited them in Photoshop.

Stitch Scarves
I've been meaning to write this post for a few weeks now but just didn't get around to it. I've started a project based off of one that I had to do in one of painting classes in college (which you can view some of results of that here: 100 Paintings). Basically, for that project we had to set up a still life and over the course of a set period of time (I can't remember if it was over a long weekend we had or a week), we had to do 100 paintings from it. Now, these paintings were not big (I think most people in my class didn't do anything bigger than the size of a sheet of printing paper), so it was something that was considered difficult but not impossible. I think some of the guidelines were we couldn't rearrange the still life, but we could zoom in and out in our compositions, we could use different colors in the painting then maybe what color the still life actually was, etc. It was an exercise in creativity, to see how much we could get out of that one still life. What I'm doing is I'm going to take stitches from knitting stitch dictionaries, and I'm going to make scarves from each stitch. I'm not limiting myself on what needle size I can do, how wide or long they are, or the weight of the yarn. I'm going to use this as an exercise to see how yarns and stitches work, so I can better understand the construction of big projects and hopefully have better insight on how to edit instructions as I need to.
And a late Happy Easter and Passover to those who celebrate :)

More Large Format
These are just some large format photos that, I think, were just practice ones. I don't recall these being for anything specific but they came out pretty good.

Cupcakes & Matches
This is another large format project that I had to do for my class. The assignment was to compose photos where the matches were 1:1 with the matches in the photos (basically, you should have been able to lay the actual match on the match in the photograph and have them be the same size).
