Scarf
Gorgeous looking and feeling yarn from Morehouse Farm in Milan, New York near Red Hook. I bought it as a kit with yarn and a pattern that looked really great with two colors intertwining like houndstooth, but it completely flummoxed me (which is painful for me to admit). But then - as I mentioned on January 12th - my train friend showed me an Irish hiking scarf pattern and it seemed perfect for this warn. The photo doesn't convey how great it feels but it shows how nicely it came out at least. The reason for two pictures is that I took them with my LG6000 camera phone which, as if it wasn't already fabulous enough, has new tools for customizing exposure, color saturation, etc. I could only get a pretty bad shot of the scarf (see leftmost image above) because it's a bit dark itself and I was photographing late in the day on a fairly dark background in low light. But! tada! once even a pretty lousy photo gets on the pc, there's Picasa2 and/or Microsoft Office Picture Manager to the rescue to take the image anywhere from merely okay to terrific. Not to mention to tweak it to a regularly nice photo like the middle image or, better yet, apply fancy schmancy focuses and get a result like the one on the right. Cool, huh?
