I set up a photo studio (well, a tripod) in our kitchen yesterday and photographed my yarn stash for Ravelry. The sun was out and the light in our kitchen was lovely. I felt so important and professional using my tripod. The yarn was very well behaved. I would just plunk down a skein and the camera would focus and the sun would shine. It was so easy. I got 49 pictures of yarn from my stash (do I really have that much yarn? That doesn't even include the extra skeins!) and then I didn't have anything else to take pictures of ... but it had been so fun ... I couldn't just stop.
So I took a picture of my snack. I really like how incredibly purple beets are (I also really love the word purple, especially if you kind of draw it out and say it with a bit of an English accent).
And I took a picture of the roving I'd drafted out that morning. I'm trying to spin it as thinly as possible. It's quite challenging.
And I took a picture of all my little balls of leftover sock yarn that I save for darning socks ... along with the darning egg that they've never actually met before ... I have some socks that really need darning.
The yarn at the top is Cardigan by Suli Fibres. It's handspun and handyded and features wool, mohair, silk and sparkles. I got it a couple of years ago and I can't decide what to do with it - it's too pretty to use for anything that could turn out badly.
