Wednesday is Lensday

March 12, 2008 By Carole

Project monogamy doesn’t lend itself to blog fodder, as we all know. And I’ve been extremely monogamous to the Fionn sweater that I’m knitting for Dale.

IMG_1113.JPG

I took the photo from “the side” so that you can see that it’s knit in the round from the bottom up. I’ve finished the circular part and have now separated the front and back. I’m about done with the back, actually. Then it’s on to the front and then the sleeves.

I’m enjoying the knitting very much and am dedicated to finishing it before I start something else. Good for me, great for Dale (who is quite anxious for a new sweater) and boring for you all.

So, to liven things up a bit, allow me to show you my entry into this week’s Lens Day.

The theme this week is wood. I think my Reeves spinning wheel fits the bill.

    That’s one of the best pictures of wood that I’ve ever seen! 🙂 The sweater is beautiful, too.

    I have seen anyone do figheadh’s designs. Is the pattern clear?

    The Reeves counts! Pretty pretty oak.

    Dale definitely deserves a new sweater. Thank you for the wheel pr0n – nice start to the day!

    Very handsome sweater…but that wheel shot is fabulous!

    I feel the same way about Jon’s Cobblestone – must.get.through. Lovely, lovely wheel shot.

    Never boring, the sweater is gorgeous; so is the wheel 🙂

    I’m gonna remember this the next time I’m looking for blog fodder, which will be soon, trust me.

    I’m not bored by the sweater at all. I think this is the first time I’ve seen it. Looks great! Nice shot of the wheel too.

    Lucky Dale–what a beautiful sweater. And your wheel—that photo is suitable for framing!

  13. Kim says

    I’m hoping to see Dale sporting this sweater at NH Sheep and Wool 🙂

    Dale’s sweater is lovely. I bet he loves it.

  15. Hillary says

    March 12, 2008 at 10:17 am

    Those are both great shots. Dale is lucky to have you. I still haven’t made my husband a sweater.

  16. Beth S. says

    March 12, 2008 at 10:39 am

    Oh boy is that wheel pretty! 🙂 I hope others follow your example–there’s nothing like a day full of gratuitous wheel p*rn. 🙂 🙂 🙂

    Ooh, I really like that sweater! Maybe Dale will let you borrow it!

    Isn’t this the first time we’ve seen this sweater? I like to think I’d remember. It’s lovely, Carole. Dale is a lucky man and for more than just getting a sweater. Very nice shot of your wheel, too.

    Lucky Dale! What pattern is that?

    Nothing better than a beautiful photo of a beautiful wheel. I was wondering, what’s the first thing you knit with your first skeins of handspun? Maybe a blog post about it in the future?

  20. Leslie says

    March 12, 2008 at 2:38 pm

    The sweater is lookin’ good! And nice shot of the Reeves, too.

    That’s a handsome sweater, I hadn’t every seen that design before. Lucky Dale.

  22. Sunflowerfairy says

    March 12, 2008 at 9:50 pm

    When you finish Dale’s can you work on my husband’s sweater for awhile? That thing’s been sitting around here longer than I’ve been knitting, I swear. (Ok, maybe that’s a slight exaggeration…)

    Thanks for the LensDay link. Inspiration!

    Beautiful photo (and sweater)

    Project monogamy may not make for good blog fodder, but the sweater is lovely.

    I love the photo of your Reeves wheel. My two-year-old does too, apparently. He was standing next to me while I read your post, and when he saw the photo, he yelled, “That’s a spinning wheel”! He’s been taught well, I guess 🙂

    What a lucky man!

    I didn’t know of the lens day site – very cool.

If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good for, it’s my sourdough game. I actually started learning about making sourdough bread a week before the stay at home orders thanks to @sprboston as he shared his starter and recipe and technique with me. Since then I have kept Mama Cass fed and alive and have baked many loaves of bread. This one might be my best one yet. I did the final proof in the fridge for 24 hours and baked it from its cold state. Great spring and ear and crumb, it was delicious with dinner tonight. #sourdough #sourdoughbread #lookatthatcrumb #lookatthatear #homebakedbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest
