So thrilled I can finally share this one. Hit it!
From a hoot of a photoshoot for Camp Kitschy Knits, a business that sells handknit, 100% wool brand new sweaters from vintage patterns, mostly Mary Maxims. The sweaters are the handwork of Fair Trade Knitters in South America.
I'd like to go on record as first handknit sweater stop-action
video with an original soundtrack of banjouke and concertina.
Where's my Oscar??!!!
When the client shipped me the garments for the photo shoot, I was expecting heavy rustic sweaters, but she sources lofty, super squishy soft wool yarn--they're so wonderful. And so funky. Cowichan! Curling! Archery! Scuba diving! Pheasants! Square dancing!
We decided the best way to show them off was a glamping trip. We borrowed an Airstream, gathered some models and friends, laid on the bright red lipstick, amped up the retro makeup, made a campfire--and froze our butts off! It was a freakishly cold day, but you can see we had fun, anyway.
Enjoy. And, give a like the Camp Kitschy Knits facebook page, wontcha?
