We had a full moon this week and I took the camera down to the stairs at the beach to see if I could get some cool photos. I was trying to play around with shutter speed on the camera but I didn't get the effeect I was looking for. Despite that, there is something that attracts me to these pictures...maybe a quietness or something about them. Anyway! Here they are:
And on a complete sidenote, having nothing to do with knitting or moons, I absolutely love the music in the Lord of the Rings movies. Our cable is out this morning and I am not a fan of just turning on the radio so I popped in the Fellowship of the Ring. The music evokes such feelings for me. I love how the music reflects the lifestyles of the people in the movie. Long flowing music for the elves (it brings to mind their jewelry with the long delicate strands of silver) and hard choppy music for the Orks. I love these movies...

I love the moon photos. Makes me want to howl...:) One of my next projects is going to be Tangled Yoke. I'm going to use Rowanspun DK, I hope. See how the gauge works out.
I am right there with you on the LOTR music. I swear it can bring me to tears. I need to put the soundtrack cd's (which are yours ;o)) back in the car, that's where I love them the most.
Surprisingly, the kids like to listen to them also.
And I can't agree more with you on the ribbing issue. Unfortunately for me, my whole Trapeze Jacket is ribbing. Lots & lots of ribbing.
Very cool pics! Kind of haunting & "Lord of the Ring-ish" in their own right! Random question for you- I think I remember that you went to Ponderosa- did you go to high school with a guy named Branden Reid???? Had a younger sister named Shelby??? I'm good friends with his wife.
I am knitting tangled yoke after I finish my tilted duster! woo i am gonna use pallette. sweater buddies
that is too funny that you mentioned LOTR. DH and I put that in on Saturday night also. We just finished watching it last night and started Two Towers.
Tracy, I can't find your email, just wanted to say I hope your mouth isn't too sore today.
Missed you last night, hope you heal up fast and easy!
Rowan
See you next week!
ps great photos!!
I bought that IK just for that sweater, and it may be the one I plunge into sweater making with. Got Hanami OTNs Love the Zephyr muches and bunches!
see ya!
Hi Tracy (my surrogate sister...) I hope your wisdom teeth experience went well. I love the new sweater,and the moon photos are quite lovely and peaceful. I completely agree about the LOTR music. They are some of my favorite books, and I am usually so picky about books made into movies and I rarely think they did justice, but in this case it worked. The music evokes such clear interpretations of the characters.
That sweater is lovely! I can't wait to see how it turns out!
