So, I've started playing with the new camera. Here goes nothing. (I'm having nightmares of posting pictures the size of a house...)
First up, a size comparison of the eggs we've gotten lately. (The chickens have started to lay again! Yay! )
This is the largest next to the smallest. The little fella is a 'pullet pellet' - a young hen's first egg. The largest is from one of our older hens. (And makes me cringe just looking at it. Oh, that poor chicken...)
And look! I knit something! And finished it and everything!
First FO of 2011.
Yulie by Grumperina.
Yarn - Lion wool
Mods - only one. I used tubular cast-on, which is my standard start for any 1x1 ribbing.
A quick easy knit. Love the hat, love the pattern, love the spiral that is formed by the knitting. I'll probably make this again - maybe a slouchier version.
Now, off to make egg salad for lunch. (Yay!) (Remind me in a month or so, when I'm whining about "egg salad again?!?", that there was a time when I was happy about that.)

In the beginning, we had several extra, extra large 2 yoker eggs. I felt sorry for the poor grrl! But, it seems things have evened out and all the eggs are nearly the same size. Learning a new camera takes time, but you'll be happy in the long run!
I am happy to report that all my phone does is make calls. It doesn't connect to the internet, I can't take pictures or receive pictures from other people's phones. Call me. My phone's not tied up doing non-phone things.
Nice eggs, BTW.
My method is to pick one feature of the camera and use it again and again until I have it nailed. Then, when I am ready -- say, a year later -- I pick another feature and practice that.
I'm wincing at the size of that egg, too.
Ooh, ooh, I made a Yulie too! I love it, went fast, fits great, easy pattern. All the holes means it's not the warmest hat but since I use it mostly for going from the car to the office building, it's great because it doesn't smoosh my hair.
"I got a phone for my convenience, not the convenience of others."
Someone smart said that. I agree. I turn all the bells and whistles off so that the phone only makes calls when I ask it to. And it takes messages.
Nice hat.
p.s. I'm on 9 mo with my fancy new camera. I am just starting to realize how much more there is to know.
You'll get the hang of the camera. Just give yourself a chance.
Eggs! :D
I'm a tech addict. Purchased a new camera almost two years ago and still learning. Way more features than I need! Have fun with yours.
