For Sandy, here are some sky pictures I took early this morning.  This is my first attempt at photographing the moon. I took the first one while it was still quite dark with the camera set on the tripod and tilted way up as the moon was almost directly overhead. That one is over exposed pretty badly but I don’t yet know how to set everything manually. The next two I took after the sky was much lighter but before actual sunrise. I did some post processing and used autolevels to bring out the detail as they were much better but still pretty washed out. And finally there’s the predawn sky view from my front steps. Enjoy Sandy!

Here’s progress on Petticoat, I’m ready to start the toe decreases. Gwen’s decided maybe a bath will distract me from sock knitting long enough to dispense lots of pats. The sock fits quite nicely despite my worries that it looks huge.
