New software, same sock


So decided to have a little fun... I took the same picture I used last time and used my new version of Photoshop to adjust the white balance properly. That's the left-hand side of the picture. On the right, you'll see the same picture I posted last time -- which was colour balanced already, just with a less-capable program.

I gotta say, Photoshop CS2 is teh awesome.

Knitting! -- and also, comments requested


First, a fun pair of felted mittens that Andrea just finished. I don't think I managed to really do them justice -- they're really quite funky, but because of that cuff they're a little chunky at the bottom and that made them lie strangely. I'm not entirely thrilled with the results, but oh well.


Next, a funky sock that Andrea knit! She's making the matching one right now, I believe. I posted up two versions, one with a black background and one with a white background, so everyone could compare the two.

What I'd like from you folks is a comment telling me which of the two versions you like better, and why (if you know why). I have my own thoughts, but I'd prefer to hear other people's ideas.

More beer!


I took a red and a black version of the beer photo from earlier. The red turned out really weird and almost painful -- which I find cool in a really ugly way -- but the black one was boring and crappy. So I didn't bother posting it.
