This is frustrating.

I love the comparison, but I hate how they are comparing.

They are acting like she is using optics to give herself an advantage. But the device she is wearing is just for comfort and essentially does the same thing as closing one eye and squinting the other.

The little thing over the left eye is basically like an eye patch.

And the thing over her right eye is a mechanical iris, like in a camera lens, but it is NOT a lens.

Different lighting environments are going to be brighter or darker and you may have to squint more or less to let in the same amount of light into your eye. Squinting allows the shooter to get the sharpest possible vision in order to shoot a bullseye the size of a 12-point Times New Roman period.

But if you have to squint for hours for practice and in competition, this can strain your face muscles and become uncomfortable. So this iris basically squints for you.

It's more like wearing comfortable shoes so your feet do not hurt than a lens magnifying the target and giving an advantage.

Both athletes have access to these items. One felt more comfortable without them. The other didn't feel like getting a muscle cramp from squinting all day.

Either would have shot the same if they had or had not used these devices.

Just a funny difference in gear preference.

I should also add, the Turkish dad is the only one using lenses.

Blanket Update!

Hahaha, remember when I said it would be done by Christmas? Yeah, that didn’t happen 😅 Fortunately! My aunt’s birthday is in March and this behemoth will be done then.

I sewed the motifs into panels (left) and then into quadrants (right), working in my tails as I went. (If I told you how many yarn tails I had on this project, I think we would both cry so I’ll refrain.)

Here’s everything sewn together pre-border! The dimensions right now are 6X6 square. I think it’ll cover a queen size bed nicely (pictured is a king).

I’ve vacillated between hating this project and really liking it while it was a WIP, but as it’s gotten to the end, I’m firmly in the love it camp! All that’s left now is the border, more yarn tails 🙃, and giving it a wash!

I have more progress pictures of the seaming process on my Ravelry, but I thought they might be a little confusing here.

Also! Special shout out to @hookedatweiss for calling it a quiltghan. The name has stuck!
