I started knitting a hat to go with Elin's green sweater, but unravelled it because I think a multi-coloured crochet hat would probably go better with that ensemble. I find I'm having a lot of difficulty seeing the finer work clearly. I find my focal length has changed in one eye, so everything is blurry and stitches are difficult to see clearly. I already couldn't see what I was doing when working with very dark fabrics, but now I'm having problems with lighter fabrics too. I don't know what that means for beading, but I better get a move on and make some of those detailed costumes I've been wanting to make for my dolls for a very long time.
Well, all the doll photos from the trip to Newfoundland are finally done and posted. The last pictures from Peggy's Cove are finally up. It's kind of bitter-sweet moment in that I'm really happy with how many of the photos turned out, but looking back I wish I'd taken more in some of the places- or more different ones. I wish there were more views of certain things, or more fun poses instead of endlessly re-shooting the same scene in an attempt for that "perfect picture". But at the time, it was the best I could do under the circumstances. I'm working on some long-sleeved T-shirts to complete the doll's travel outfits. Two are done, and it wasn't until I was almost finished the next two that it occurred to me that I should really post patterns for these tops - so I took one photo. There won't be many instructions.
