Gifties and a new camera!
My mailperson has been very good to me lately. First, for being one of the three people who completed the Celebration shawl by the end of June, Anni, sent me a gorgeous skein of merino laceweight. It's a lovely shade of pink in a colorway called Antique. Not sure what shawl it's destined to be, as right now it's sitting on my desk being pet and loved as a skein.
Also, Sarah (Knittingarch over on Ravelry) sent me a perfect pair of socks for my birthday. They fit perfectly and are so snuggly. She dubs them Spanish Dancer socks, and I will get much wear and dancing out of them. Thank you Sarah!
I also got a new camera recently. I had been using a Canon Powershot SD10. We have a fancy Nikon, but I found that the little Canon was perfect for taking out with me, and really handy and uncomplicated for taking blog and etsy photos. However, after getting our Nikon, I started to notice that the pictures I was getting out of the Canon were a little lacking. Plus, the battery and the replacement batteries were not lasting as long as I really would have liked. So, we picked up the Canon Powershot SD1100. It's a nice little camera. I still have the portability and the ease of use, but the pictures are better. I know I'm not the best picture taker, but no longer can I blame it on the camera.
Hopefully the next post will include some knitting pics! That's the plan anyway, but you know what they say about best laid plans...
