Alice's Fingers In HD Blog

Around the time I posted the foundation single crochet tutorial, some coworkers went to my blog for the first time.  One of them commented that instead of calling my blog "futuregirl" I should call it "Alice's Fingers In HD Blog."  Ha!  I guess when you have no idea what the fingers are doing, you'd focus on them instead of the crochet they are holding.

I've had a little time this morning to edit the photos.  I'm so happy about how my fingers look in this one.  I did my nails right before I took all the pictures.

I wish I'd thought about it before I took the photos for the foundation single crochet tutorial, because my week-old fingernail polish and dry cuticles look *so bad* in macro.

I considered reshooting the whole thing, but once you spend a couple hours taking photos, the last thing you want to do it take those photos *again*. Ugh.

I just had a funny idea ... I could paint little arrows on my fingernails so I could use them to point to things and you'd know  exactly where I was pointing.  Ha!  Of course, it would be confusing in the photos where I wasn't pointing at anything, but there'd still be arrows all over the place.  Hmmm ...

I have never ever noticed your fingers before this post. I guess I was concentrated on the crochet, really. :)

I do hope you were trying to be funny. Because the photos, especially the last one, combined with your text made me laugh out loud. Thanks!

Your fingers look fine. Mine look like they been chewed on by a rabid pitbull. I hide them every chance I get.

You know, I never even looked at your fingers, was just focused on the project! You could always photoshop some nails on, right? (Now that would look weird.)

OK, well I totally should have kept my mouth shut, because it seems like no one noticed. :) Oh, well. I'll be classy in my next life. ;)

Instead of noticing the fingers, I actually noticed your crochet hook cushion! I was curious where you got it? All the ones I've seen seem to be so uncomfortable, but yours actually looks pretty comfy to me! I tried using pencil cushions but they are too big for the hooks I use on a regular basis.

Kristin ... I use Susan Bates Comfort Cushions. They are blue and they come in two sizes; one for small hooks and one for larger hooks. I really wear these guys out. Once I wear down the front edge, I turn it around and wear down the other edge. They last forever and they're great. If I try to crochet without them I'm sore from the shoulder down the next day.
