color theory for my masters class

okay, I admit it. I take terrible pictures that lead to getting a 'funny' on pics I post on Rav. Since this hurts my feelings I have dug down deep to take a real photography class as I go doing my masters. Here are a couple of pics that I'm trying to add to see how I am doing thus far.....notice the yellow, orange, and green in the top pic? And what about the bottom pic......? Pink/gray/green......and the lovely background cases.......

what do you think?

busy little bee am I!

I have been so busy!!! I have knitted yet another shawl (11 of the 12 I wanted to knit this year) and made a scarf and mitts for a friend and yes I even cut my hair soooo short. And I finally finished my Basics part of my 'road to masters' knitting. I mailed it out Friday. I'm super nervous but excited too that I have completed this part of my 'road'

hair....long beautiful hair....whhhattt? I don't have that?

I like to grow out my  hair for locks of love and donate it *usually around a Presidential election* and was all set to do that this time, only to have the bad news it's not donate worthy due to meds I took & surgeries I had.

I've only had my hair cut 1 time since moving here like 3 years ago & my hair had grown from a long pixie to touching my bra........well no more.

It made me choke back tears to watch her sweep it up and throw it away.....I had never seen so much hair all over in my life.

I'm glad I didn't go back to a pixie because my hair now touches my collar & I feel bald.

sock monkey take 1

I'm not in love with it.....but I have never knit this pattern before, so I'm hoping I improve for the next time

whats on the needles

the past couple of days I've been playing around with this simple sock pattern with reverse stockinette ankles/feet.

I knit them 2-at-a-time magic loop so I'm almost finished with both socks....then it's on to more contracted knits projects!

I'm using every bit of the 440 yards that I have available to me with this yarn. I'm planning on going back and doing a design on the sock...possibly with a crochet hook.

ISO P90x/Insanity DVD's

I am probably barking up the wrong tree by posting this here but here it goes....

I am looking for the complete P90x or Insanity DVD series. I can knit you items, trade items like yarn, fiber, books, etc. and if the price is right cash.

message me if you have these to trade...I'd really rather trade.

mitts and scarf

fingerless mitts and matching scarf. The scarf has 3 different stitch designs including a purl/knit stitch argyle pattern.
