fiber fotos
my brother (the photographer) and his new wife (the photographer) had the first leg of their honeymoon in new york and spent some time in brooklyn last night with me (the photographer). well, needless to say their lens collection makes the mouth water and i was playing with cameras and fiber all night. and there was coffee. lots and lots of coffee. this situation could be considered my own personal heaven. so i thought i'd share, as i know you all appreciate the yarn photos as i do....
i am always appreciating the ever-sculptural qualities of arans, and the Urban Aran made for some great shots. speaking fo the U.A. - i got to wear it yesterday. How crazy is this "June" weather we've been having? feels like seattle! (not that i'm complaining!)
detail of sleeve panel
some gratuitous yarn photos - a 1.4 lens just calls out to all those freshly wound skeins in my stash. on the left we have one skein of rowan yorkshire tweed aran in 'bramble' and on the right: one skein araucania patagonia (gotta love that plied organic cotton) in 'reds' (#209).
bobbles abounding.
thought i'd leave you with some nice eye candy for the end of the week. hope you enjoyed! i have the day off tomorrow, so... maybe jarrett blocking will commence? finally? i have a wonderful day-job that shifts over to 4-day work week during the summer ... but keeps the same amount on my paycheck. sweet, aint it? bring on the extra knitting time. have a great weekend and say hi if you want!

and remember forbes forest? its pretty much in the exact place that i've left it. maybe 3 or 4 rows have been worked in the last month. i'm on too big of a sweater kick to really go back to this any time soon. hey, i've got the rest of the summer before i can even think about fall scarf weather. i got time. but it sure looks damn good in photos.

Nice drool worthy photos! But duuuuuuude. I got into the NY Marathon.. I will see you FOR SURE in November!
Great photographs. Yarn really is so beatiful, isn't it? Especially those tweeds.
By the way - your lace leaf shawl is stunning!
I have also been experimenting with shots of fabric and yarn. Its kind of seductive, to see it all close up. Lovely projects!

love those pictures, especially forbes forest. i wish i had 4 day work weeks. have a good weekend. :)
Beautiful pictures! The scarf and the aran look wonderful. Sounds like you have a great job. Do they make you work longer on the four days, then? :)
Last night while reading your blog, someone asked me to stop talking about what a great knitter you are. HA! I just can't help myself; I'm so jealous.

Hi from a fellow Brooklynite! I've been reading your blog for a little while and really enjoying it. I'm still not really over your urban aran so I'm glad to get another peek at its gorgeousness!
Lovely photos! I still haven't learned to properly use my little $150 camera. Perhaps it's time to dig out the instruction booklet! And I never, ever get tired of looking at yarn! It's like a visceral thing with us knitters!
oh my, such beautiful pictures. especially forbes forest. now i've had that book for over a year and have seen that pattern many a times and it is definitely _your picture_ that just convinced me i have to make that. not necessarily now, but soon. very soon.
Lovely photos, you are very talented. I especially love the photo of Forbes Forest, it looks stunningly beautiful. (And now I want one, but that's no surprise – I always want everything you've knitted. :-D)

Wow, I haven't looked in since you finished the aran - it looks amazing! Nice work!

Your photos are awesome! I'm looking for a camera that takes good closeups. Would you tell me which one you're using? Also, your Urban Aran is to die for. Take care...
