Rusted Gate Handle. I thought the rust colors with the shadows of the metal were so interesting. Asolo, Italy. Color photography by Donna Corless.
Pattern: Rusted Root from Zephyr Style Size Small
Yarn: Noro Lily in lavender. I'm guessing about 5 skeins; I used a bunch of partial skeins.
Needle: US6 for body. US4 for ribbing
This is the unwashed/unblocked state and the hem and stitches are a little bit wonky. I thought the pattern was pretty well written, but I think the lace panel instructions could have been improved to produce symmetrical leaves. I made these changes after the second repeat. The instructions for my changes would read:
Row 1: K1, YO, K5, YO, (Sl2tog, K1, p2sso), YO, K5, YO, K1
Row 3: K1, YO, SSK, P1, K2tog, K1, YO, P1, YO, K1, SSK, P1, K2tog, K1, YO, K1
Row 5: K1, YO, K1, SSK, P1, K2tog, K1, P1, K1, SSK, P1, K2tog, K1, YO, K1
Row 7: K1, YO, K1, YO, SSK, P1, K2tog, P1, SSK, P1, K2tog, YO, K1, YO, K1
Row 9: K1, YO, K3, YO, (Sl2tog, K1, p2sso), P1, (Sl2tog, K1, p2sso), YO, K3, YO, K1
I also added increase hips stitches and worked the lace panel into the ribbing for about 10 rows (inspired by someone else's Rusted Root that I can't find to link to). Next time I would cast-on for the Medium size for a larger neck and follow the size Small for the rest of the sizing; I think it's likely I'll make another one of these.
I saw the rusting vehicle while driving a Scioto County, Ohio road. It appears to be a General Motors car of 1950's vintage, but I don't recognize which make. I trust an expert will make an ID.
World War II Ammunition Magazine, Wong Nai Chung Gap Historical Trail
Brief History: In the 1930s, the British army began installing defense structures at the gap in preparation for possible attacks by the Japanese army. On 8th December 1941, the Battle of Hong Kong started; the Japanese landed at North Point on Hong Kong Island on 18th December, and reached Wong Nai Chung Gap on 19th December. Canadian and Hong Kong troops defended the passage and Wong Nai Chung Reservoir, with more than 600 Japanese soldiers injured or killed. The gap fell to the Japanese on 19th December, followed by Mount Nicholson and Repulse Bay the next day.
The cabin of this flatbed truck has been exposed to the elements for probably half a century, or more. It has now taken on a deep rust-coloured sheen, with most of the original paint now long gone. I'm guessing that it was originally made sometime between 1930 – '50. This is one of the pieces of farming machinery left at the former Ravensborne Railway Station in Western Australia. The station was closed in 1925.
There are three images of this truck in my photostream.

My car is limping, Dolores Haze,
And the last long lap is the hardest,
And I shall be dumped where the weed decays,
And the rest is rust and stardust.

I don't know why, but this old Jeep grabbed my attention -- something about the classic design combined with the rust and yes, the slight dent in the front bumper. A little worse for wear, but hopefully I'll look as good when I have a few more miles! :-)
The ideal is to find things that have rusted naturally, but that’s not always possible. I decided to try a new rust effect product on some items laying around the house, to see what would happen. As you can see this rust effect product works very well on plastic, wood or even glass. Also possible to paint with it. Have a good fun.
