Weekend recap, now with 20% more pictures!
This weekend was a good one. Not only was it a three day weekend, but it was also filled with much excitement for me.
Joe and I have been talking about buying a new digital camera for a while now. I'm perfectly happy with any decent point and click variety, but since Joe has a ton of lenses for his now broken film camera, he wanted something compatible, something he could use with them.
Enter the Canon 8.0 Megapixel Rebel XT SLR Digital Camera.
It fit all the criteria he was looking for, and it was still good enough for me to use as a point and click camera for taking pictures of yarn and knitting.
He went up to Best Buy on Saturday to purchase it, and we then spent Saturday night playing with it.
I love it. It takes amazing pictures, the quality of them is amazing, and even when using the flash to photograph yarn, the colors are pretty spot on!
Sunday was even better. I picked up knitXcore, and we headed to our not so local yarn store for a sale they were having.
If you ever have the pleasure of driving through, past or anywhere near Mount Holly, NJ, be sure to look up Woolbearers. They just recently moved into a bigger shop which really showcases their selection of yarn. They have something for everyone, and they sell a lot of their own hand dyed yarn. (BTW, if you aren't in the area, you can still pick up some of their hand dyed yarn. It's available for purchase here.)
Robbie and I both picked some up to knit a Baby Surprise Jacket. The colorway I picked out is called Raspberry Sorbet and it sure looks delicious!
And because Starbuck has been the subject of almost all picture taking, I leave you with a few pics of the little guy. (Click on the images to see them bigger, in all of their awesome digital quality!)
He really is a character. We went out and bought him a nice cat bed, and instead he decides he'd rather have one of the old kitchen chair pads as his own little place to rest. He loves that damn thing. He sleeps on it, he rolls around on it, he plays on it. He even lays next to it, hugging it with his legs!
Starbuck playing with his mousie:

And Starbuck showing his appreciation for the fiber arts. (That's an afghan Joe's grandma crocheted for him when he was younger.)
