Went to visit friends who live nr Cardiff on the Bank Holiday Weekend. The weather on Sunday was horrific when we visited Tenby. It was such a shame as the harbour has such pretty pastel houses and multi colour boats. I hope to go back when the weather is not so foggy wet and grey!!
Also i accidentally left my polariser on from a previous day out and I think that may have contributed to my shutter speeds and focus - oops!! Its in focus just a fair bit of noise - ah -well, the aim is to live and learn!!
1. Starting Mark's scarf...February, 2005, 2. Intarsia? That sounds EASY! ::groan::, 3. Friends don't let friends do intarsia in the round, 4. These are supposed to be High-low-high, not low-high-high, 5. The JOG., 6. Re-knitting the entire scarf...almost done, 7. Attempt of easy embroidery, 8. Completed embroidery., 9. Wobbly Scarf
Created with fd's Flickr Toys.
The final product of my fiasco of thinking that Intarsia sounded like a good skill to learn...in the round. Yeah. I also was still knitting all my stitches through the back loop, so everything I did in the round slanted to the side. You can clearly see the jog going from the bottom, between the two stars that are up high, slanting to the left until it hits the edge of the scarf. Those stars on the bottom of the picture are supposed to be arranged so they look like eyes and a nose on a smiley face...not one low on the left, two high on the right. Yep. I had to frog this ENTIRE THING...and reknit it. The pictures of that process follow...
This is what happens if you do stockinette in the round, knitting each stitch through the back loop. Every row slants to the left and color changes create a really ugly jog.
If you knit through the back loop when knitting flat, you generally compensate for it on the back side of the fabric, and the stitches are realigned. I was so new to knitting and thought I was so savvy...goes to show ya: don't get cocky!!!
I was so confused and upset that I knit this whole thing and it was completely twisted (like the Gryffindor Scarf) and the stars didn't lay the way they were supposed to. Not to mention they're way too tall and misshapen because, in doing intarsia in the round, the first red stitch of each new row in each star is pulling the yarn from the last red stitch in the last row in each star.
This was one very long, involved learning experience.
The larger piece here is the re-knit scarf, only a small bit of the frogged scarf left to frog. As I was reknitting this, I was also using the small leftover bits of yarn (when I was done with a stripe and I had a long tail) to crochet the red/black bag simultaneously.
The full story of this scarf can be seen when I finish the mosaic!!!

I keep forgetting that focusing on something dark will fool the camera into thinking it's underexposed (and vice versa). I'm still not on top of how the metering works yet.
But despite that (and my scuffy shoes), I think it looks pretty neat for a bad mistake. I don't know why I like to photograph feetsies anyway.
The first few times I tried shooting events, I didn't have any posed shots. Just tried to get candids, and thus left the flash off to keep the camera inobtrusive as possible, which means using a fast lens and opening the aperture wide open. This narrows the depth of field, but when you're getting candids, you're typically focussing on just one person at a time, so it doesn't matter.
With a posed group shot with flash, you have enough light to not need a wide aperture -- and narrow depth of field is a no-no.
Live and learn.
Every single day of my life I need to be grateful for second chances! In nature, there are often no second chances. In mortality, there often is.
What a blessing “do overs” are for each of us!
I have wondered recently, how many times the Lord has had to let me try and then try again...

While we should take steps to prevent errors from occurring, but they will and can be corrected or correctly addressed. Failing to respond effectively to these occurrences is the real mistake. As John Lennon observed, "a mistake is only an error, it becomes a mistake when you fail to correct it."
