Love At First Shutter Click 17Jul07

EDIT (10/19): Ok, I lied, the shop update isn’t going to be today. Look for it sometime tomorrow, when I put up Friday’s blog post. There will be a bit of roving, but not much, since I need a bit more work to get the process perfected. I know nothing about spinning (yet!), so I’m sending off some roving to a wonderful test spinner to see if it passes the test. All this machination of words to say that roving is coming; but I’m going to be introducing it slowly, so I can work on getting it perfect. :)

The new camera. She is here. Not too bad for Day 1 don’t you think?

do you mind?

when the rooster crows

are you talking to me?

I think I’m in love. And I haven’t even gotten my 50mm f/1.8 lens yet! (i.e. the perfect yarn shooting lens)

Oh, and mark this on the calendar. The next Yarn Nerd shop update is this Thursday (7/19) at 10 AM MDT.

Did I mention there will be roving?

    Beautifully done! I confess to a (much-needed) new camera as well, though I don’t believe it’s shooting in the same league… (I feel better chalking it up to a different camera than a different operator.)

    So glad you got your new camera…it is beautiful and it takes great photos. I’m especially glad you got your camera because you gave me back my old beat up Kodak! But I’m not jealous, really I’m not.

    no way!!!! so how did you conclude on that particular camera? i have been looking around at cameras now too, since yesterday my “point and shoot” starting acting cookie (error E18 - yikes!!) a friend of mine suggested i consider the canon EOS as well as the Nikon D series…

    now see, that is just one more reason why you need to get a wheel. knowing how to spin does make dyeing roving easier. http://www.babesfibergarden.com ;)

    ah, the nikon d50. the knitblogger camera of choice, it seems. it’s a hella good camera, especially with the 50mm f/1.8 lens. i love mine to bits.
