Lookee here!
The socks are my Northern Lights socks, which I finished a couple of weeks ago. Yarn: Farm Blend (llama, wool, mohair) by Blackberry Hills in Wisconsin. The colorway is so beautiful...ice, navy, sky, storm, star...
Deep Gemstone Lake socks, also finished a couple of weeks ago. Yarn: Mirasol Chirapa (100% merino)--
what a great yarn to work with!
I've been taking lots of pictures today of some recently finished knitted socks on my new "mooses", which have been great because it's hard to take good photos of your own feet! (At least, it is for me.) In general, I have a somewhat challenging time taking photos of my knitted projects. It's hard to find the right light and angle to properly show the definition of the stitches and the true color of the yarn. My camera, a Nikon Coolpix L3, is decent enough (I guess). It's the only digital camera I've ever had, and I received it as a college graduation gift from my aunt and uncle back in 2006. I have considered getting a newer camera, but ultimately I feel that since I have taken some great pictures with it in five countries (and countless situations!) over the past five years, why give up on it? I just have to be a more creative photographer by working within my camera's limits.
Various knits from the past year or so!
Short red knitted dress, created using the Incredible Custom-Fit Pullover method by Pamela Costello. This is a wonderful, simple and effective un-pattern, by the way. I highly recommend!
Cypress, a long cabled green hoodie. My sister is the model in this photo, and it looked so good on her that it is now hers.
Okay! It's a lovely Sunday afternoon, so I should get off the computer and do something else (like knitting or spinning...)
Just one more photo: J and me, cross-country skiing near Grand Rapids back in February of this year.
(very tall guy + very short girl = fun!)
