So I uploaded my dishcloth images to the computer from the camera… and realized I had to download GIMP to crop them, right? Which I did. And then something went wrong - a crash of the program, and suddenly… those images are lost. From both camera and computer. Damn. Oh well. I do have a picture of the Harlequin Kitty Hat! Look!

Ain’t it adorable? I used six different yarns - two very cheap, but soft Caron Simply Soft skeins, in tangerine and lime (not the official names, I’m sure), one skein of Red Heart crappy acrylic in blue (it just happened to be the right blue, at the right price, and it’s definately hardy stuff!) and three Lion Brand Fun Fur skeins of the same color. And I hardly used any of each skein. The Caron & Red Heart stuff comes in this huuuuge skein anyway - I still have most of a skein of black left after my own cat hat was made! So anyway, I think I may have to make R a matching scarf, because hey, not like I’m short on yarn. And what else does one do with yarn in those colors?

Anyway, pics soon of the grey cat hat - preferably once my new hummingbird stitch markers have arrived! I ordered them last night from Etsy - and I think they are soooo cute! The chick emailed me this morning saying that she was mailing them out today! Hurrah! I stole this picture from etsy to show them off. I doubt I’ll be able to take as good a pic with my crapola camera. I did not, however, steal the bandwidth. So I’m only a partial-thief, right?

My camera fund (I’m plotting to purchase a new… uber expensive SLR digital camera from Olympus… you know, one of those 900 dollar jobbers…) is at $370 right now. I am half tempted to pool the money in my savings account together, and buy the whole thing next month. But that’d leave me savings-less, which… would defeat the whole idea of savings, I guess, huh?

Ah well. Someday I’ll have it. Someday… In the meantime, I will knit, and take crappy pictures with my crappy camera!
