Life's a Stitch

Do you remember Sandy's Saturday Sky? It was two or three iterations ago of her knitting blog. She made Saturdays an easy blog day with a simple request that we post a picture of our local sky. Easy enough for most of the world, but for a large portion of the year, while many of you showed glorious blue skies over sparkly white snow, or billows of fluffy cottonball clouds on a cerulean background, we Pacific Northwesterners could only post solid shades of grey. Last Saturday, my grey sky cooperated with unusual texture and depth. 

It gave me a chance to try out new compact camera #2. The Nikon S9100 was a lemon and went back to Costco under its liberal return policy. This time I opted for the equivalent model Sony DSC-HX9V. In ten years this will be my fourth compact digital camera, for a total of three Sonys and one Canon. This one, like my first Sony, has adjustments to override presets which result in oversaturated or overexposed flash pictures.

The next step will be to try it out on some yarny goodness. Can't post about two of my current projects as they are surprise gifts. Tell you what, I made an exception to my recent yarn diet and ordered some laceweight yarn for gifts-to-be, which will be arriving soon. Stay tuned.
