Blending In
I came home from work to a wonderful birthday package yesterday. Lots of lovely things from a fantastic person.
Included was this:
Which led to the discovery that I’ve forgotten how to read music, and also to much playing around and many memories of, well, lots of things really, but especially children’s tv. “As if by magic, the shopkeeper appeared.”
I also couldn’t resist a little “Good morning campers” this morning, but lets sweep that one under the carpet.
Anyway, possibly the most fabulous thing was this knitting pattern:
Isn’t it great? It raises so many questions:
Which came first, the landscape or the sweater?
How is the tree line absolutely identical to the pattern?
Is it wise to blend in so well with the scenery in a ski resort?
I wondered what that thing was on your flickr account. At first I thought is was a bad double exposure.

I think if I discovered one day that I’d forgotten to read music I would find it as frightening as forgetting to read words.
Maybe the sweather was actually white and they just photoshopped it to suit the landscape? (Sorry to be cynical :D)

That has to be the weirdest and most wonderful pattern I’ve ever seen!

That pattern is… umm… interesting, to say the least.

So easily pleased….
I love simple, inexpensive, un-elaborate, creative gifts as well. :)

Just how good was photo manipulation software in the 80s anyway?

I think it’s real - the pattern on the sweater certainly is (the picture is from the pattern) - if it’s fake they went to the trouble of making a backdrop especially for it.

Keep in mind that things can be printed, one on top of the other, in a photo lab. Hence the name of the software: Photo Shop.
