Photo-a-Day Day 140

Animal.... real or imagined .... well I really did try to take a photo of another animal besides Tia...but the cows and the sheep aren't in the fields at the moment... so they were out.... no cats visit my garden (can't think why lol!)... one cat did run across the pavement in front of my drive (but I didn't have my camera to hand!)... and there were no other convenient animals around... so Tia it is!  But it is a different view of her ... she had her eye on me!

Knitty Gritty...

So whilst attending to my Pinterest addiction last week.. I spotted these Gorgeously gorgeous fingerless gloves and I wanted them oh so bad.......

(I was actually looking for fingerless Shearling gloves on the internet at the time... then I got pinning and the rest is history)

anyway I thought I'd buy them... then I realised it was a knitting pattern....... so I started browsing for easier options.. ie gloves already knitted that needed no more effort than entering a credit card number.... but I couldn't find any that I liked as much as these....... so I decided I basically have to learn to knit.

I bought a beginners book... it arrived last Friday..... I've looked at the pictures..... and vague recollections of my knitting prowess (from when I was like 10!) started to come back to me...and by prowess I mean slightly more enthusiasm than actual skill.......

Yesterday I bought a ball of wool and some knitting needles..... project one is a scarf.... theres no pattern as such its just like basic knitting stitch with chunky wool and chunky needles... tonight I may begin.. scarves without holes in them I believe are over-rated :)

Something Blue...... Tia was actually off the lead... but when she saw me go to take a photo of it she thought she'd come investigate!

Looking In.....

The photo below was my inspiration, found it ages ago when browsing Stevie Dacanay's website (Stevie Dacanay is the guitarist with Buckcherry)/... clearly his is way better than mine especially as Tia wouldn't even look at me once I was outside lol....  not to mention that his was brilliantly quirky and random.. whereas mine was my very uninteresting lounge window! Finally.. he is actually a good photographer... and I'm not lol  Stevie D
