Pattern: Fratello by Yarnissima
Yarn: Wollmeise Sockenwolle (less than 1 skein in Fratello)
Moderately happy with these. Usually I detest pooling, but I decided to let it slide for these and I kind of wish I hadn't since I think the beautiful pattern gets lost in the spirals. I also had trouble gauging the size with a toe-up gusset heel and they ended up a bit too big. My first time using Wollmeise and while I didn't have any problems with the yarn, I think I prefer a less stringy base yarn.
Yes, I have a new favourite place for sock FO shots. I can get both feet in the frame with minimal effort!
Okay - so it wasn't even supposed to storm at all - and when this rolled in I had no time to get set up anywhere blah blah etc - so I ran outside and etc ... And shoot - it'd been so long since we'd even seen anything that even resembled rain, much less any kind of a storm ... ;o) ... BTW - this is a long exposure, but wasn't one of those where I let multiple strikes hit then closed the shutter - I'm a one strike per kind of person ;o) ...
::edit:: I've been pretty fortunate thus far in that my lightning pics have been pretty sharp ~ so when I upload, the compression down to this size always makes it look - I don't know - kind of stringy? to me ... so best viewed large...
We get a lot of green beans from our garden in the late summer - the parboil, then crisp in the skillet method and toss in sauce worked great for the ones that were a little more stringy when we didn't pick often enough. But it also works fine for frozen green beans if you're careful not to overcook them. It may seem like extra steps, but the flavor and texture are SO worth it. When I didn't have bacon and had extra mushrooms recently I tried that swap, it worked great. If you're making it vegan, maybe toasted sesame oil instead of bacon fat? A little liquid smoke in the sauce might be handy if you want to keep the original flavor combo, though.

Emu Bottom Homestead is a historic homestead near Sunbury, in Victoria. Built around 1836, Emu Bottom is the oldest existing farmhouse constructed by settlers in Victoria. It was so named because it was on low lying ground which was the haunt of numerous emus. The main homestead and some of its outlying buildings were constructed from local stone, dry coursed with creek mud and stringy bark.
Emu Bottom is also a rare example of early Australian colonial architecture, with its twelve paned deeply recessed windows recalling the old world, whilst the homestead was also intelligently adapted to the new harsh Australian environment with its wide verandas and easterly aspect.
The building of Emu Bottom homestead commenced circa 1836. George Evans (1785 – 1876), who had arrived on the Schooner Enterprise from Van Diemen’s Land (now Tasmania) in 1835, settled near modern day Sunbury. Emu Bottom, later called Emu Vale, was occupied by George Evans, by squatting license, as one of many large squatting runs on Crown Land. In 1843, George Evans, then aged fifty-eight, married eighteen year old Anne Holden. Six children were born from the union and grew up at the homestead. After 1851, many squatting runs, including Emu Bottom, became available for outright purchase. To George Evans' dismay, “his” run was purchased by the immensely wealthy pastoralist W. J. T. Clarke. The homestead block of 640 acres stayed with George Evans, but this was hardly viable. In about 1860, George Evans leased the property and moved to operate the Royal Oak Hotel in Queen Street in central Melbourne. He died in Melbourne in 1876, but his family eventually returned to Emu Bottom. In 1916 the last of Evans’ son’s died and the property passed through several owners, being renamed “Holly Green.”
In 1968, the property was purchased by the current owners, and Holly Green was completely restored and was given back its original - if perhaps less poetic - name. During restoration, several discoveries were made including the original kitchen fireplace and oven, as well as some artifacts. Today the homestead and surrounds are managed as a reception centre.
Frozen spider webs spanning a bush in the front yard. These spider webs had been there all along, but seeing them like this makes me think about how much of them are really around. December 2011
Chocolat at Café des 2 Moulins. Photographing old carousels. Taking the Métro everywhere and sailing around those earthy tunnels underneath everything. Eating crêpes in Montmartre, watching the Eiffel Tower from our window through peach skies full of stringy, clear rain. Wandering through the solemn, mournful Sacré Coeur, and hearing a French woman say 'it's sad' in passing. Inside the Notre Dame, a church service was being held. There was the quiet voice of the priest and the haunting resonance of the pipe organ. We wandered through the flower market on Quaix aux Fleurs in the 4e arrondissement, smelling the flowers and running our hands through delicate windchimes. There were walks in the sprawling Père Lachaise cemetery, speaking softly of Elliott Smith's music and photographing ladybirds and cherry blossom trees.
This is the ice cream mango. So named because it's sweeeet and you could eat it with a spoon. Not stringy or acidic. And so very juicy.
The Jack o'Lantern was more than just Halloween decoration!

Recipe: Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
1) Carefully carve open top of pumpkin.
2) Remove seeds; separate them from any stringy strands; rinse seeds under fresh water.
3) Drain seeds and allow to dry.
4) Toss seeds with one teaspoon olive oil, ½ teaspoon Kosher salt, a small grind of black pepper, and a 'scary' dash each of garlic and cayenne powder.
5) In an oven, bake seeds for 20 minutes at 350 °F. Remove from oven and give seeds a careful (!) toss.
6) Return to oven. Increase temperature to 425 °F and bake for 5 more minutes, until seeds barely begin to brown ...no more!
7) Remove and allow to cool. Add additional salt or seasoning, if needed, to taste.

a little bit cheesey, a little bit nutty, a little bit stringy, a little bit orangey, and a little bit sweety.
a ribbon handle was added to this fabric bag.
Padded Drawstring bag made from my clients bridesmaid dress material. Beautiful teal fabric created into a money /card bag which is fully lined inside and out. No stringy raw edges showing.
Victoria Joanne can create something special for your big day or as a gift for some you love. These drawstring bags make great gifts and they can be used to hold a second gift. 2 beautiful gifts in one!
My newest croton, i just love the stringy upright leaves. wonder how it would look when it gets bigger
Sinclair's answer to the floppy disk drive. Inside the Microdrive cartridge was an endless loop of tape. Each Microdrive cartridge could hold up to 85KB of data. A total of eight Microdrives could be attached to the Spectrum. This type of storgage device is also known as a stringy floppy.

Lonicera fragrantissima, also known as Winter Honeysuckle, Fragrant Honeysuckle, Sweet Breath of Spring, or January Jasmine is an invasive plant originally native to eastern China. It is a multi-stemmed, somewhat stiff-branched, upright, deciduous (evergreen in the South) shrub that grows from 6-10 ft. (1.8-3 m) tall. The stems are hollow with stringy, tan bark and are often purple when young. Leaves are opposite, round, or ovalish 1-3 in. (2.5-7.6 cm) long and wide and usually persist into winter. Leaves are dark green with sometimes a blue tinge. Flowering occurs in the late winter (though can in the U.S. occur as late as April), when fragrant, tubular, 0.5 in. (1.5 cm) long, white to red or yellow, thin-petaled flowers (most often creamy white) develop in pairs in the leaf axils. The abundant berries are 1/3 in. (8.5 mm) in diameter and ripen to orange or red in the mid-summer and often persist throughout winter.
Winter Honeysuckle readily invades open woodlands, old fields and other disturbed sites. Its rapid spread is attributed to birds and mammals dispersing the seeds. It can form a dense understory thicket which can restrict native plant growth and tree seedling establishment. This plant was first introduced into North America in the late 1800s. It has been planted widely as an ornamental and for wildlife food and cover.

When I saw this Zendala, I saw the flow of the ribbons. I wanted to use colours this time to have a slightly more delicate design. So I thought stringy patterns and curves would give the softer look instead of it looking symmetrical or structured. Well, it took me awhile to figure out how to have the curves flow naturally in different tangles. Here it is..... I do prefer the close-up view, which I've also uploaded here.

Flower Mound, TX. 3.5MM body. She is very shy, compared to smaller, Tiny Greta from 2013. Right after I flashed her, she scurried into a recess behind the base board. These typically hang upside down in stringy webbing. Upon close inspection, you can see two tiny black eyes closely spaced together.
After uploading the spider on the window screen, I thought I'd do several square-cropped shots of the many-legged living things I found in the tide pools in La Jolla. Kelp doesn't technically have legs, but it does have stringy clumps of stuff you could get tangled up in, so it still qualifies as a little creepy.
Lichens seem to like our current cold, wet weather. A Telaschistes species (orange at the left) and a couple of Ramalina species (the greenish cuplike lichens and the stringy blue green stuff.) Plus several more species I can't identify. Image quality is not the best; I didn't want to take my good camera out in the rain.

Saw a few of these on the roads of Vanarasi, most of them were selling either mango or orange juice; some had a dark grey stringy pulp hard shelled fruit they called 'bael'.

Growing in hard rocky clay near an old, disused bitumen road under Eucalyptus woodland.
Identified as a Russula sp. by T. May, Royal Botanic Gardens, Melbourne, July 2009 - "the stem has the typical look of a stick of chalk and will also break like chalk, crumbling rather than stringy like most mushroom stalks"
What is a habitat tree?
Habitat trees are trees that are retained in urban parks, on non suburban road verges and the medians of main roads, and fringe areas adjoining hilltop reserves, urban parks and the urban edge. Habitat trees are created by retaining mature trees that have died or need to be pruned heavily, and cutting over the main branches to leave a 'totem' with exposed hollows to provide habitat for birds and animals. There are generally six main Eucalyptus species that are used for habitat trees because they are relatively rot resistant and resilient to the effects of the weather and aging. These trees are Eucalyptus melliodora (Yellow box), Eucalyptus polyanthemos (Red box), Eucalyptus bridgesiana (Apple box), Eucalyptus rossii (Scribbly gum), Eucalyptus mannifera (Red spotted gum) and Eucalyptus macrorhyncha (Stringy bark). More than 100 habitat trees have been retained within the urban area during the past 20 years.

Dinner @ Chamate (一茶一坐), a chain of restaurants in Shanghai serving Taiwanese cuisines.
Probably considered as an appetiser or a side dish, Enoki mushrooms are poached quickly in boiling water and then served with braised pork gravy (the most common gravy one can find in Taiwan). Poached Enoki mushrooms are popular in Shanghai as well. I like the soft but yet stringy texture, easy to chew but yet had plenty of crunch. The mushroom itself has a very mild and soft earthiness but lends itself really well to all sorts of sauces and gravies.

Double Top Mountain Overlook Area
There are so many beautiful wildflowers and butterflies around this particular overlook that you forget to look at Double Top Mountain across the valley!!
Here we have Phlox, Oswego Tea (Bergamot Beebalm), Green Headed Coneflowers, something funny looking I can't identify, and lots of other little dainty wildflowers. There is also quite a stand of "Dodder" (orange stringy stuff with white flowers) is also present . this is an invasive parasite and has a tendency to "take over" if you aren't careful, but it adds a LOT of color to the roadside, and Monarchs who will come through in September will really love it!
