Photography for Knitters Workshop action 10-4 this past Sunday at Knit New Haven
There was a whole lotta shooting going on.
We played around with different background colors & patterns for yarn & fiber.
This one's a beautifully subtle Noro striped scarf by Linda (Reiswear is her Rav name.) It's a creamy natural Cascade Wool/Silk with a skein of the ever present Silk Garden. I want to knit a shawl with these two yarns now.
I am trying to revive the floating humans look, enough of all this white space everywhere. I know you're sitting there trying to figure out what patterns Rebecca is wearing above, aren't you? They are her own designs, you can bug her at her blog , Archiknist, to write them up.
Bad weather kept us mostly inside. But not entirely.
We had a a wonderful camera ready Central Park Hoodie model.
I used to love looking at those I Spy books with my sons, I think this is the knitters' version. How many handknits can you count? In fact I think I want to shoot a knitting pattern booklet that's all knitters in handknits shooting other knitters in handknits. Classic Elite, are you listening? At the end of the day we had a slideshow of everyones' work, you can see some here and here.(scrolldown). Some fabulous images. I can't believe how lucky I am to keep getting talented, enthusiastic and kind knitters in these workshops. Fun! Thanks to the Sunday crowd for playing along.
Special shout out thanks to Becca, our Nutmeg Knitter, who was willing to chill for the cause.

Sounds like another great workshop. I think doing a whole day is a great idea - we didn't have enough time for everything!
WOW! The workshop looks like it was amazing! I love the idea of shooting handknits by people wearing handknits and everyone shooting at once!
that reminds me...I promise to get started on MY project tonight!
Oh, it looks like fun. The photo of the blue yarn on the blue background and the Orange yarn on the Black/White background are QUITE striking.
Mmmmmm. Must start thinking more about blog photography.
After I find my missing camera cord.
Oh WOW, I really want to take this workshop, do you have a schedule of where you are teaching? It's worth a roadtrip for sure!
Your workshops look like so much fun. We need to get you out to LA for one.
Oh, I want to come to a workshop! It looks like a fabulous, fabulous time -- with lots of good learnin' going on, too!
I had a fantastic time at the workshop (even outside being a sweater model) - I would take it again and again! I'm now thinking about how to better stage the photos and looking for the light... Thank you again!
We can all inundate elite or nora gaughan with requests for your booklet idea. It's a good one.
What a wonderful workshop! Looks like everyone had a blast, even with bad weather.
Love your booklet idea...
That is a great idea! Please come to Knitch in Atlanta and do a class there.
What a great concept for a class! It's adorable seeing the photos of people taking pictures.
