New Knitting Machine — Fan Of… #93
Hi All 👋 Feel free to join in this weekly challenge whenever you find yourself thinking “I’m a fan of…” (see below for how to).
This week’s Fan Of… a new knitting machine.
My wife recently bought a new knitting machine so that we could make our own hats, scarfs & gloves, & eventually jumpers & cardigans. I thought I’d give it a shot to make myself a hat!
From this…
Ball of yarn To this…
Double thickness wooly hat Using this…
Sentro circular knitting machine The first hat I made was able to be worn with a brim…
Or as a slouch beanie…
So far, my wife & I have made several scarfs & hats. One of the hats I made for a colleague’s birthday (her mum has just ordered another one), & sold two to another colleague. So, we’ll see where we go from here.
We’ve also started making pom-poms for the hats as well, but that’s a post for another time

Lensball Mangnification — Fan Of… #92
Hi All 👋 Feel free to join in this weekly challenge whenever you find yourself thinking “I’m a fan of…” (see below for how to).
This week’s Fan Of… the magnification of ice crystals in a lensball.
I was recently up at Palacerigg Country Park on a cold winters morning. I’d literally just raced the sun to the top of the park for the first sunrise shots of the New Year.
New Year sunrise Happy with the sunrise shots, I headed off to a different part of the park for more lensball landscape shots.
Lensball landscape The wood that lensy was sat on had frost on it where the crystals had grown in the shape of the wood grain.
Ice crystals I noticed that looking down through the lensball, the ice crystals were magnified, with a star burst effect round the outside
The next shots were taken in a slightly different place.
The ice structure was very different.
