I have finished the new Dragon Hat for Andy, all except sewing up the brim:
As usual, my pictures suck, but you get the idea. I wish I was a better photographer, but people in Hell want ice water, too...
Moving on is the issue today. What's next? I don't have the yarn for the baby gift project yet, nor do I know what sex I'm knitting for until just before Spring Break. I have a sock project on the needles, but I need to wait until after Sock Summit on Thursday night to know what I'm doing with those. So I need a new project.
I thought about doing an entrelac beret. I thought about doing the Rose Scarf Collar. I'm leaning toward a pair of socks for me, me, me. Something colorful and fun with some two color stranded knitting. I'm going to have to do a template for the stranded knitting. Hmmm....
I also downloaded a gansy sweater from Rowan today that I think would look great on Andy. Now if I can just find enough grey or orange soft yarn to make it with. I'd like to do it in cotton/linen like the original sweater and KnitPicks has some nice CotLin that would work, I think. It's DK weight, but very close to gauge. Maybe I could go up a size...I'll have to do the math. (AACK!) I don't want to spend a fortune on this sweater, but 1980 yards is a lot of yarn.
Less than three weeks to go until I sojourn to the great state of Maryland for my spring Knit Out in the land of sheep and wool. I hear Peter Lynn is sporting a naked face for the first time in thirty years....not to imply he's old or anything. I'm sure the change has just revealed his natural youth and vigor. Can't wait to see it!
Happy Knitting!

All I can say about photo quality is that it takes practice. And since you have a digital camera, there should be no reason why you can't take about 40 pictures of one thing and then choose only the good ones. Perhaps I can give you some pointers next time I'm over.
