Playing around with stripes and photos

Just before New Year's Eve I bought 2 skeins of Kauni effect yarn. I wanted to make a striped scarf for myself - the kind of scarf which has been knitted by a zillion people in Noro Yarn.

Now I have started it and I kind of like how it's coming along, and I simply can't wait for the orange, lime green and purple colors to appear from the skein!

The weather today is so right for wrapping oneself into a looooong scarf, but this one will not be done right away. Hopefully a tiny bit of snow will be left when it is.

The photos of the scarf gave me the chance to play with them, in a program recommended by Karen.

I usually edit my photos in picnik - a tip Anne gave a long time ago - but I love to try out new things, and I definitely didn't get disappointed. It was lots of fun - well, if you like that kind of stuff!!

    Det bliver virkeligt et flot tørklæde!
    Jeg har forsøgt at hente det foto-editeringsprogram, men lur mig, om jeg kan finde ud af det..... øv, altså! Jeg tror jeg må have min bedre halvdel til at kigge på det for mig, ... jeg kan ikke engang finde det på min computer, efter jeg har downloadet det.... pinligt, faktisk!
    Hav en rigtig god week-end ;O)
