Sometimes Aggie feels the urge to let Lomo know that even if he is the "ruler" in the bunny hyerarchy right now... she is legit born queen and everyone should pay respects to her bringing treats... #bunny #usagi #rabbit #thefutureisfemale

For one week out of every year, I participate in an annual scavenger hunt. It used to be known as GISH, but when that ended another group formed called The Rogue Hunt. This is an image from one item in this year’s hunt. Read alt text for details.

Item No. 030 Challenge Prompt: (Image) Knit or crochet a sweater, vest, or dress that disappears into the surroundings. Photograph someone wearing your creation. They and the rest of the outfit should be their normal wear so that only the knitted / crocheted part of the outfit blends in with the background. When I first read this, I was immediately imagining working with some kind of camouflage yarn color and knitting up a vest and then photographing it out in the woods. But I didn’t have any great yarn in these tones and the idea seemed to ordinary. As I continued to think what I could knit in a day and then photograph on a model, stripes seemed the easiest way to go. Which led me to thinking where stripes exist in my surroundings for a photo - which led to the lines on the road! Sweater vest knit using black primary yarn from Plied Yarn Company with a golden yellow from Madelinetosh. I convinced my daughter to model in the middle of the road at night. Luckily our town is pretty quiet at night. 😂 But we still had to keep running back and forth when a car would come by. Finally got some great photos! I love the images and the memories of it even more! #knitsky #knitweardesigner #ravelry #knittersofbluesky #knitting #sweater #camouflage #woldten #GISH #RogueHunt 🧶🧵🪡 ps: Misha - please bring back GISH for an anniversary year! We miss our whole team playing together!

#showmeyourknits Stripes Week

This is a great follow up to my last post. Frequently when I’m trying to choose an image to submit for a scavenger hunt challenge I struggle with knowing which to pick. These were other fun options. [see prompt in previous post.]

Knit sweater vest in large stripes of black and yellow shown on a young person who is on the street and lined up with the road separating lines. This is an image from the same photography session with a longer view towards the local gas station and distant vehicles. Here my daughter laughs while trying to get into position to line up with the road. Image taken from a different angle to see what the lighting looked like on this side facing the crossing walk.

British horticulturist, garden designer, and writer Gertrude Jekyll was born #OnThisDay in 1843. She bought this pair of men's leather boots when she was in her 40s and continued to wear them (after many repairs) until her death in 1932. Guildford Museum collection. #fashionhistory

Inspired by a video i saw about this kind of old books with practice of sewing, im going to try go for it next year. I have very few sewing time but perhaps i can lever up my sewing by learning how to do parts of it... like welt pocket, mandaring collar, etc, doing pattern and sewing it #sewsky

The image shows a old book with aged paper opened. in the left page there is some embroidery patterns and the mini "long stay" sewn in the right side an sleeping gown in very small scale sewn in white cloth

It's a mosaic of a beetle. A stag beetle, we think, with its head at the bottom and its bum at the top.
