Christmas Lights and KC

Postby Lisa Nixon » Thu 22 Dec 2005 10:09 pm

I'm sure we all see christmas lights differently to non KC ers. Pre graft it was the multiple pom pom effect and post graft with stitiches everything looks like stars. Driving down Douglas prom this evening - hubby was driving, not me I hasten to add - I quite enjoyed the starburst effect of all the lights around the bay. My very best wishes to everybody. Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and our eyes will behave in 2006. Tubs :D

Yep, I totally agree, I was making exactly the same comment to my friends only last night.

Merry Christmas to all

Hi :D ! I used my KC to good effect - I was able to point out all the gaps in the Christmas lights on the Christmas tree :P ! However on the downside my neighbours have masses of Christmas bling and driving the car into the drive has proved quite exciting as I am almost blinded each time - there is even a full sized, 3D reindeer on the garage roof :roll: ! Hope you had a good Christmas and Happy New Year :) .

Yes, I've noticed that the Christmas tree lights are much prettier with my non-grafted eye than they are with the grafted one!

Rather oddly, I've noticed that every point of light on the tree turns into the same pattern, and I'll have a go at drawing it for all to see!
