Cable Installation
As part of the installation of an offshore wind facility, a cable must be installed to bring the electricity to shore. A special cable laying ship is used. In this case, the method of installation is called jet plowing, where a high pressure stream of water is used to suspend sediments in a channel. The cable is laid into the trench of suspended sediment. The sediment settles in on top of the cable, thus burying it. The cable is brought to shore and connected to the grid.
You can learn more about the cable laying here: Observing Cable Laying and Particle Settlement During the Construction of the Block Island Wind Farm

I made this hat last night using a pattern found on Ravelry. I did struggle a bit with the brim... I'm not sure if the pattern was unclear or if I read it wrong... but it was a bit traumatic... Once I had finished the whole hat, the brim was a bit wonky... but never mind.
The pattern called for a yarn that doesn't seem to be available in Australia, so I ended up using a strand of Bendigo Woollen Mills Rustic 8ply and a strand of Bendigo Woollen Mills Alpaca 8ply together. So it's quite a chunky knit. I plan on making the hat again, but with some modifications so that the brim application is much easier and won't be wonky (hopefully!). Also, it turned out a smidgen too small, so I will try to make it a touch bigger next time.
The locally produced wool was slightly itchy, so I knit in a cashmere/merino liner (left over from Halfdome hats)
Now condos or something, this building was the original power plant for the cable cars and then the streetcar system in Minneapolis.
This is my latest sock knitting project.
As I wasn't sure whether I'd have enough yarn left to get socks as long as I wanted, I decided to knit these from the toe up (or rather from the base of the toe - I'll go back and knit the toe (and the heel) later using the same contrast yarn I've used for the top).
The body of the sock is knitted in a 4x2 rib pattern with left-hand cable twists on the knitted stitches (crossing in front of the work every 4th round), worked on 4mm dpns. The sole of the foot (visible in this picture) is worked in stocking stitch, to make it more comfortable to wear (amd a bit quicker to knit, although that's an incidental bonus).
The top is worked in 1x1 rib, using 3.5mm dpns to compensate for the slightly thicker yarn.
In the picture you can see the scrap yarn used for the provisional cast-on, which is about to be removed so that the toe can be knitted. Also visible is the scrap yarn used to mark the place where the heel will go. The heel will follow the same pattern of decreases as the toe, and is of the type known variously as an afterthought heel or a peasant heel.
Finally finished this, after a year of knitting. Flossie loves it!
Yarn is Madelinetosh A.S.A.P. in "The Fox" colorway.
I managed to stop to prop with a higher shutter speed. The plane is seems to sit in the air. I just started trying to freeze fast subjects. Fun stuff.
