Knitting bug bites me once again

Since december last year, I started learning to knit, I had manage to make 4 pieces pot holders which

My progress on Kate's photo.

This is so far what I had able to stitch this week. Its beginning to have a shape and although, the face itself is recognizable, it is still not in best quality. I am discussing this matter with my teacher last week and we came up with the same conclusion. First of all, the photo I used is not original, it is actually a photo I just downloaded from a sunday paper in London. Because its not original the quality is also very poor, (lesser mega pixel means lesser details captured) thus, the contour of every angle is also distort. secondly, the choice of colors is also very important, which is something that I have to study closely. And naturally the choice of cloth. I have to admit, that what I used here is also not a good quality, taking into consideration that it is an experiment, I thought about being thrifty on this one. Well, I learned alot, and I supposed, I'll be booking more sucess next time. This is not a real PRO Photo converter, but then, even the real thing doesn't deliver the best result whenever I overlook some points. Like when I did my wedding photo, It was such a shame that up to now, I haven't had any inspiration to do it again. Anyway I intend to finish it (Kate) to be able to see the difference next time. Weather I can work on others photo better than this one.

Photoshopping

I missed the 2nd day of our digital photography class last week due to my influenza, but thanks to the e-school, I could at least look into the smart school via my computer, if ever I missed a lot. I kept myself busy the whole time I am sick sorting out old photos, which I had fun trying to photoshop or whatever they called it. I don't have a photoshop software, but I am beginning to snag a couple of ideas through on-line photo fixing tools. Still coughing but thank God my nose is better. Weather man says tomorrow is a fine day to stroll outside so, I suppose I could finally go out and take some photos for my first module which is about Sharp shots in the background and in the foreground. I hope to have a lucky day tom.

Njam TV

I don't mind being parked in my canopy although I hate being sick. As long as I could watch cooking shows, such as: Njam which is almost 24 hours a day. I was never an avid fan of TV, but cooking programs  are becoming a revolutionary measures against sex and violence on media. That's why I like it very much. Chef's from all over the world are my hottest and sexiest TV personality of all time. I may not like everything they cooked, but I am definietely fascinated with their talent. Bitchin Kitchin is my favorite. I wonder when are they going to feature an American chef. I'll be patiently waiting.

Winter blues again

It looks like the winter is going to get going for quite sometime. I really hate it, being stranded inside the house, not that its annoying staying at home. I am a house mice and I always have one thousand things to do at the same time. Anyway, I'm glad that its a bit sunny despite the snow outside. Whenever the sun peek inside the house, its means I can cross stitch for at least an hour or two a day. Doctor's order, not too much concentration will do me a favor to little by little regain my old self. Just no cross stitching, sewing or reading at night. By the way I have just started stitching a photo of princes Kate of England. I got a photo converter gift from a very kind lady whose name I may never mention in public. She is a public figure, and I am glad she has become my friend. Although I am not yet one hundred percent convince that this pattern would do justice to the photo of the princes. I will give it the benefit of the doubt.


Update as of September 1-2013

Love to finish this project someday or stitch a new photo of Princes Catherine, but I I have to study and redo the pattern because I am not 100 percent satisfied with the outcome.
