finally, some photos of "the albatross", aka my norry fair clapotis. may it win me a ribbon.
this photo makes me look like i'm taking a leak. or getting frisked.
the albatross as a wrap. very lovely, with nice sheen. a nice wrap for warm weather.
the albatross as a scarf. nice, but i think i like it better as a wrap. but a scarf is a nice option to have, spesh under a blazer.
the albatross was knit with ester bitran linares, a cotton/viscose blend. lovely sheen and color, but an absolute witch to knit with. and i'm not alone - if you read the reviews of projects knit with this yarn, the major complaint is that it is extremely splitty and finicky to knit with. amen! i guess i should research the yarn before buying - it would have saved me some heartache!
i hate taking pictures of myself showing off my FOs. for one thing, i just have a problem with my body image. i am no julia roberts. but dear Bob, look at my belly. never mind the kiddos are a year old! and i suppose i shouldn't take pictures after i've taken a bath (hence the wet head) or a sunburn (after a day at the pool despite copious amounts of sunblock). and i know i should take photos during the sunlight hours, but that's hard to do when no one is home to help me (except the kiddos and they can't take pictures very well; nor do i want them to break my camera!)
my question for you: how do you take aesthetically pleasing photos of your FOs?
ETA - the yarn i used to knit the albatross. my brain is on channel Z - my bad.

Lovely clapotis, and it looks great on you! I wear my Clapotis a lot, and I always get lots of comments on it.
ReplyDeleteWhat yarn is it knit with?
Beautiful Clapotis! I'm still working on mine. I think I'll be in a nursing home before I ever get it finished!!!
ReplyDeleteAs for taking pics of FOs I often wonder the same thing. Mine regularly look like crud. If you get any fabulous tips on it, you'll have to pass them along!
