The actual name for these colourful spool knitters? .....we have discovered that they are made in Germany where they are called Strickliesel (singular) or Stricklieseln (plural).
Photographed using a Crown Graphic 4x5 camera and a Rex laboratories 4x5 Camera. I took the back off the Rex laboratories camera and took the lens off the Crown Graphic and stuck them end to end. This acted as a long extension to get this macro shot. The lens on the Rex Laboratories camera was a Kodak Ektar 127mm f/4.7 lens in a Graphex shutter. This was about a 6 second exposure at f/32. The film is Ilford Delta 100 developed in Beerenol (Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer).
I've gotten into the habit of bringing along some light painting stuff when I'm out about early or late. In this case I was waiting for something that never happened, I did a few laps up and down and got this one I was happy with.
This Civil War period dress was one of my favorites at Sarah and George's wedding. In this shot, the wearer seems to be looking at a loose thread.
The NC Coastal Land Trust hosted its Flytrap Frolic in the Stanley Rehdar Carnivorous Plant garden. This is the first time I have seen the Thread Leaf Sundew (Drosera filiformis Raf.) in the garden. This species is supposed to be expatriated from New Hanover County (plants.usda.gov/core/profile?symbol=DRFI), so it was a special treat to see it. Perhaps it was planted from a cultivar? Regardless, its a beautiful plant.
These appear to be listed as "Significantly Rare" in North Carolina (www.ncwildflower.org/plant_galleries/carnivorous).
I knitted the white silk into an I-cord. I then dyed the silk using acid dyes. I unknitted the silk and crocheted into a continuous necklace.
If you look carefully, you'll see that the first few rows are standard public school issue perle thread. Being a bit enthusiastic, even at age 6, about embroidery, I took the piece home and raided Mum's stash of stranded embroidery flosses to complete the stitching. So stylish! My passion for stitching was born!

Thick threads hanging from the frayed edge of upholstery fabrics in the workshop.
A big thank you to Sam from St Morris Upholsterers who let me wander freely around his workshop and shop taking these photos. See also their Facebook page St Morris Klassik.
This is a stinging wasp but it is very timid. The milkweed is a yellow variety which I purchased from a seed company.
Thread-waisted wasps are parasitic. They paralyze and capture spiders and various larva and carry them to their dens. Eggs are laid on the paralyzed prey and when they hatch they consume the prey. Most of these wasps are solitary unlike honey bees which live in large colonies.
