It wouldn't come through as a picture. This is a non-binary group. There are binary newsgroups but the best way is to put it on a blog and tell us what to type into the browser to see it.

Yes, that's why I use my album. Then I just give the URL, and Bob's your uncle!

I am going to try to put the images into my blog and discuss them there as a reference. But, I have to generate the images first, and that will be a multi-step process.

The first step is find a bunch of my prototypes to photograph. I can find swatches and the needles that knit them, but knitting sheaths seem to go missing. They seem to run faster than knitting needles. I think I leave them tucked in my belt when I stop knitting, and they fall out somewhere when I am doing something else. Maybe that is the real purpose for the chains and hooks on the bottoms of some old knitting sheaths - to chain them to the knitting so that they do not run off and get lost in the garden or the market, or the barn or the privy : )

Anyway, I have 3 generations of prototypes on my work bench, and will take some pictures today.
