Jeremy's Knit-a-bit

Cabled Scarf

I have been searching for an idea for the Lambs Pride Bulky I bought to make a scarf for the Red Scarf Project. A teacher at work was wearing this scarf It was a Gap scarf and she let me photograph it so that I could attempt to figure out the cable pattern (which should be simple). If it works I will use it for the red scarf.
I am still experimenting with images. The larger one I uploaded with typepad at 30%, the smaller one was the thumbnail option. The preview always looks a little different that the post, hopefully I'll like it.
Barnes and Noble's educators' appreciation week starts today with a 25% discount for teachers. I am hoping to pick up The Friday Night Knitting Club which Amy Artisan kindly sent me an excerpt. I will also look for Nicky Epstein's Knitted Embellishments. I would love to hear what everyone else thinks is a must have knitting book so I can check it out while I am there.

Uploading Images

I have been experimenting with different ways of uploading images. I have copied the flickr html into my post, I have blogged directly from flickr and now I am going to upload a photo from my computer using typepad. I didn't resize the picture so I am going to try to post a thumbnail at 50% and see what happens. This is my neice in the meathead hat. . After taking the picture my sister asked me to knit a meathead for her daughter but she said no she didn't want one. So I am posting this picture is for Emelia because my neice is her boyfriend's sister. I encourage anyone who is reading this to check out her blog. She is a very creative and talented knitter. In preview the picture looks a lot larger than I intended. I am trying to figure out how to edit this but I have to get ready to go to work. More experiments this weekend.
