Butterflies


Today I'm going to show you lots of the same butterfly.  This is the new pattern that I put on my site here a few weeks ago.  Why lots of the same?  Well a month or so ago I got to think about the sizes of the threads I'd got around me and decided to try some combinations too of HWT (hand wound thread).

Top left is the largest and most 'un favourite' of all - a size 10.  They sort of get smaller as you go down the sheet.  Some (if you can see the tickets tied to them) are combinations of thread including 3 sewing threads, 2 sewing and 1.  There's also one made with 2 strands of invisible thread but, as you'd expect, that's hard to see!

There are two pictures here too.  One (top) taken with my small and wonderful Canon camera and the other (below) taken with my ipod touch.  I'm seriously thinking of treating myself to an iphone when I grow up so wanted to compare the quality of the photographs taken on the two items I already own.  The itouch is good but not as good as the camera but probably an iphone would be better - any comments on this would be very welcome!!!  I should've compared the ipad too but - being an OG of little brain - I forgot!!

Oh, these are with me at Tat Days too.  Just because!!!

Lovely butterflies, great colours, no the iPad is not easy to take photos, I prefer my digital camara.
Hope you are enjoying your tat days.

Love the butterflies!
I know what you mean about camera vs cell phone. I never seem to have my camera with me, but I'm never without my Droid Incredible phone. My daughter says it takes better pictures than her iPhone 3, but of course the iPhone 5 is out now, so I know the camera's better now.
Really enjoy your blog and patterns; please keep up the good work!
Your Knotty Friend,
Debbie
