Cold Light of Morning
Morning sunlight gives me exactly what I need to show off the cable details in Sigil's sleeves. The flash, when combined with this grey yarn, simply washes all the detail out. Too much reflection from the white in the yarn, I'm guessing.
About the only time I can get a good picture is when I've got some daylight and I can hold my camera still enough to get an exposure that doesn't require the flash. Today is one of those brilliant Chicago winter mornings. Not a cloud to be seen and a deep blue sky. While I love the sun, anyone who's gone through a couple of Chicago winters knows that you can either have bright sun or warm temperatures. And today is no different. The lovely sunshine is accompanyied by 16F temperatures. Cold light of morning, indeed!
This sweater is zipping past me much faster than I expected it would. I'm now finished with the back and both sleeves and I have a good start on the right-front. This weekend promises to be a busy one for me, but I'm hoping that I'll at least get to start the second front before it's over.
After all, it's Chicago. And there's no telling how long these cold bright days that make for the perfect sweater weather will last.
That's a great picture of Sigil. When I saw it in person I was impressed with how the yarn took cables. This picture really shows it off!
Those cables in relief look great.Fab pic.Sigil is going to look fantastic.
Wow, she really is beautiful. I'm a big sucker for cabling and knotwork on sweaters, though. Continuing to look forward to seeing her completed and how it looks on!
Extreme cabley goodness.
Non-flash pix usually mean tripod for me. The concept of holding a camera still is apparently too much for me.
Coming along beautifully! Love that gray.
This is going to be one cool sweater! It rocks already...I hope your first designing a sweater adventure works out, so you'll do even more. :)
Wow, I can't believe how well those cables stand out. I like the shape of the sleeves too...very aesthetically pleasing, even before they're sewn up!
This sweater reminds me of Pebbles (Rowan) kind of sort of. It's very beautiful. (still plodding along on pebbles myself) tanya
