The Maine Monster

The Monster has been in this state for years. Condition. This state of progress. (It has lived in about 5 of these US states, give or take.)

I had discovered Fassett's Glorious Knits.

I am thinking it's frog time. What do you think? I'll venture to guess that it will relax into a huge shapeless thing.

Black sparkly chemo cap

Made major progress after the third start was scrapped. Stopped this weekend at the yarn store and picked up a second hank (denser fabric and fuzzier) AND was advised to use a tubular cast on. Those knittyheads are a fine lot. (Thanks, Ms. Mitten!)
Of course, TRY and photograph black sparkly. I'm too inept. Had to show some progress, though. Will be trying to finish it up tonight.

It is big as a bucket.

I did once say, somewhere, that I needed to frog this hat which bloomed into a bucket bigger than my head. Proof before it's gone.

I'll be happy to have it reknit to a useable size. I miss it this winter.

Oh, these fancy cameras

I was playing with color a few weeks ago and forgot that when I took this first photo.










Vivid color and whatever was happening with afternoon winter light and safety glass gives us this.










Here we go. Better color, maybe. However, the watering can arrangement doesn't let us see the side view.

Wilde ... on the holidays?

When I am in trouble, eating is the only thing that consoles me. Indeed, when I am in really great trouble, as anyone who knows me intimately will tell you, I refuse everything except food and drink. - Algernon Moncrieff, The Importance of Being Earnest

Must be time to enjoy a piece of lovely holiday chocolate.

Thanksgiving Leftovers Hat

It should have been daylight for the photos.  It isn't, so you'll have to take potluck, which suits leftovers.  And did I mention?  I STILL have a little left of the three leftovers.  Used up every bit of the handspun tidbits, though.

Gioia on my knee

Different light, different room, different pose.

Are awful photos better than none?
