The word for 15.01.2010 is KNIT

Today's word is KNIT. I thought this was quite funny actually as l decided to start knitting again. The word could also mean talking about a group of people knitting together to form a bond or when you break a bone, the doctor often says the bones are knitting together nicely. So l have a few choices for the image. As l spent sometime today in the hairdressers, l thought l might get my word there. Quite often there is a lady who comes in the salon same times as me, that brings in her knitting. But today, she didn't turn up..how unfair is that!
Everyday when l go out, l am on the look out for certain items to photograph. I collect images of things like throw away coffee cups, cigs and packets and lost gloves. They eventuually will be turned into other things. The coffee cup and cig images will be turned into a book and the gloves into puppets. I was moaning to Tony about not finding any interesting lost gloves these days and the fact they all seem to be black and leather these days! And low and behold on the pavement in front of me was my image and a coloured image for my gloves project.

I did  feel rather sad about this glove, normally the ones l find are not fancy ones. This child's glove looks hand knitted and special! Shame!
