Bring Back the Photos!

So rather than wait for a cord to magically appear, I decided to spend money that could be spent on my upcoming holiday to Sicily and instead... get a multi card usb reader. It will work with my Olympus only XD card, and also the kind of cards the Digital SLRs use when I get the new toy.

What does that mean... it means I can play with photos instead of going to bed. I don't have any remote clue what the hell I am doing, I am just adjusting things around and filtering at hazard...

Au Port Salut Photoshopped

But I am in love with this photo I took on the way home with the idea of playing with it. I played around on Photoshop until 1am. Note for the smart people (i.e. not me!!) this is not good when you need to wake up for work... You can see the original here.

Oh you thought it meant I could show you Tivoli photos??? Yeah I guess I can do that too :)

Tivoli at the Belly Button Tivoli Standing

I am at the straight knitting part to finish out the hem. I haven't figured out what I will do about the casting off but that is ok... as I am thinking I will be ripping out all the increases. WHAT??? you say... well I really think the M1L have such loose stitches around them, and I don't think they are supposed to look like that. But this way I can, as I am already close enough, chart out what I want and how it will look and if the proportions I think will work do work. In the mean time if anyone has suggestions, feel free to send them my way. I'll try to post a photo later tonight of the increases. I love the top and I want it perfect, and if I can in time for Sicily :) So we shall see how that goes... I may be distracted by Photoshop here soon.

Yeah! A new toy. I always thought one can gauge a new toy's value by how much it keeps you up at night - this reader sounds pretty cool. The B&W pics (prior post) are pretty nice - odne w. new toy? Hope the Tivoli gets done in time for the trip.
