Sensations Yarn Scarves and Hats

I bought one skein of the sensations yarn. Thinking I could get a couple scarves and hats. The skeins look as big as the Caron one pound skeins but they have significantly less yarn. So I bought a second skein! I made 2 hats and 3 scarves. I liked this color partly because it reminded me of carmel fudge swerl ice cream!

The pictures to the right are of the hats. My niece was kind enough to "model" one for me. I suspect it looks so good because of her!

2 of the scarves I made were made using the pattern for January 27 in my 365 day calendar. It is called Tiny Textures. Basically alternating front and back post double crochets. It is hard to see the texture in the varigated yarn. The blue is the same pattern but smaller yarn and hook.

Clone Brush in MS Digital software

Yesterday, Carrie and I went to the Greenwood Car Show. We got there early so at least a few shots did not include a swarm of people too. I have posted all -- that are fit for posting in my public gallary.

I took a picture of a jump seat but there was a no parking sign right behind the seat. I cropped the picture and then used the clone brush to put sidewalk behind the seat.

I had to be careful as I was using the clone brush. Basically, you mark a spot on the sidewalk as the starting point. As I brushed, it moved with my strokes so I had to make sure I did not copy the planter into the back of the car.

I also used it to brush out the door knob of a picture of the red flying horse logo that used to be for Mobil. Someone had it on the side of their car.

I did a lot of cropping as well on the pictures.

Yarn Holder

One challenge we all face is keeping our yarn feeding without it getting tangled. This is a somewhat unique yarn holder :) but works fairly well. If you are like me, and have a cat that sits for hours on your lap, placing the yarn between her ears keeps the yarn feeding freely! Much better then when she sits on it!
