My Fashionable Life

I've read that changing the exposure on your cameral can help with reds--that they look better at 400. Worth a try anyway although the reds above look vivid and gorgeous on this monitor!

I agree about Eunny's work--but yours is amazing, too. And yeah, photographing certain colors is HARD, though I don't seem to have as much trouble with red as I do with purple, teal, and green.

I've heard that a home made light tent can do wonders with capturing certain colors. There's been a few DIY (do it yourself) setups recently, but essentially you need to do a few things
1. Make a box like structure
2. Drape the sides of the structure with a sheer white material
3. Tape a long white sheet of paper to the structure so it forms a backdrop and cascades forward (you set your yarn on top of this)
4. light the structure with two lights, one on the left, one on the right. Use a natural looking light (like GE Reveal)
5. Manually set your camera's white balance with paper
6. Take photo.

Googling " DIY light tent" will turn up some good illustrations.

Ebbs and flows, me dear, ebbs and flows.

I bet you will be surprised at what is boiling and bubbling under the calm surface of your creativity... The butterflies are sweet, and yes, Eunny is fantastic - the black on teal is really quite marvelous. As are your creations!

The red looks fine on my monitor. does anyone have any suggestions for photographing black? there's never any definition - it just looks like a black blob.

I think you have the knack for photographing red, it looks gorgeous on my monitor! :) Anything red I try to take a piccie of turns into a glowing red hazy mess, lol.

I, for one, have the fervent hope each time I see you've posted that I will find you're offering the pattern for Tiggy. I have been awaiting her completion with bated breath. No pressure. :)

In a just world, both you and Eunny would be getting filthy rich off your knitting and designing.

I completely understand being overwhelmed by projects. That is how I felt in February and still kind of do.

It is why I am not able to show at the Bon Marche TBM until I finish knitting the pieces for my Cutaway. And I cant start a new project until I finish the knitting for Salina. Then I have to set the time aside to finsish them and only after that do that and photo me wearing them for the real world do I get to try and make me a copy cat (from Kris) pair of Elfines :)

Rewards they move the world!

I love Jaeger EFM. I think it's my favourite yarn. It gives great stitch definition and it's so squooshy! Not too expensive for such a luxe yarn, either.

we should form a club: knitters with crushes on Eunny Jang. i feel ya on that- she's an amazing talent!

I do agree that Eunny's colorwork patterns are stunning! Would that I were so daring as to attempt...

Hey, super-duper congratulations on the Knit1 write up! I was so excited to read about you that I purchased the mag just to have that article in my collection of favorite knit articles! Woo Hoo! I've said it before and here it goes again: I bet, you're on your way to being published!

Call me fickle! I have a crush on the work of both of you!

And you are in Knit1? I thumbed through that mag yesterday, but did't buy it because nothing really jumped out at me!

Now I have to go back to the book store!

I think you are right up there with Eunny; just picking different things to come up with. In fact, when I saw this advertisement that Rowan was looking for people, I thought of you first - http://www.knitrowan.com/html/visitors.asp

I just joined Project Spectrum, myself!

I almost wept when I saw that, too.

Oh! And I just saw that your Sgt. Pepper (Rebel, it said) is available for Alchemy. I was all excited for you. :D

(and for me, too, because I will certainly buy it)

I swear, all of your patterns are on my wishlist. I want to design clothing and knitted clothing. I hope I'll be as amazing as you.
