Now that I’m not getting washed out reds and oranges this shot was worth the effort of post-processing. I never did post the original of it back in January, it was just too ho-hum. Once this first milestone of NK is over, if you are interested in my solution to the washed out warm tone issue when sharing images on the web, remind me and I’ll share what I’ve learned.

1. I’m thankful for friends and family who are so supportive of Nourishing Knits. I have had so much help pulling this together - test and sample knitting, description writing and editing, pattern editing, copy editing, test cooking, taste testing, modeling, and sounding boards for the tiniest of details. Not the least of these helpful people is DH who is putting up with lots of delivery and dining out while I’m not finding time to cook as I try to wrap this first release.

2. My camera (thanks to DH a few years ago)! It is not only a huge tool in putting together NK, but it also provides a stimulating, yet rejuvenating break now and again. As does my back catalog of images to revisit as my skills grow :-)

3. NetFlix for the iPhone. Without it I wouldn’t have been able to fall asleep this last month. My mind would have been going 1000 miles an hour dwelling on all the to-dos. With it, I have just enough entertainment to stop the rat on the wheel in my head, but not so much (as long as I choose wisely) to keep me awake terribly long.

4. My various sizes and shapes of rice packs and TENS/EMS machine without which I could not have survived the crazy hours I’ve been spending on the computer the last few weeks.

There may be a theme here…

If things go smoothly today there may be a second post with some fun involved!
