I have been knitting, honest I have... symptoms of autumn drawing in
As soon as the light begins to fail earlier in the evening, my posts about my knitting start to decrease in frequency, as I procrastinate over taking the photos that will give me something to write about with meaning.
Those of you who check on my projects page on Ravelry will see many WIPs, at 100%, without photos.
I usually prefer to take pictures of my knitting in daylight. As as I work full time, I usually wait until the weekend to take said pics and upload to Ravelry. It's easier. I have knitted items at hand, rooms with decent light and pale paintwork, and my camera, all at home.
Not that I profess to take brilliant (or even good) photos of my work, but I want at least to be able to represent the colour and texture reasonably enough for you to be able to distinguish whether or not the finished object is in any way attractive.
What has been very frustrating of late, is the huge number of projects which I have started, knitted, and completed. All lovely. All deserving of a nice (ish) photo and a bit of description. All different - some of them even in nice colours (gasp!). And all competing for my time. Along with walking and visits to the gym, cat things, having a teeny tiny social life, looking after a house, working at a more than full time job, family commitments, travel for work, blogging, cooking, (unsuccessfully) keeping up with friends, and everything else that make up a normal life. Hobby time seems to be increasingly at a premium, and especially during daylight hours. Any daylight.
I will manage to take a whole bunch of photos soon I hope.
And then I can share with you my finished Loppem, my Tweedie Hap Mashup Blankie, my Coquille, and progress on my Liesl Tunic, Brie gloves, Eloise Cardie and Acanthus Shawlette. All progressing nicely, even without pics. Not to mention the massive number of projects which stare constantly at me from the naughty corner, demanding attention.
I also have a really nice lamb tagine recipe to share. But that may very well constitute tomorrows post. Did I mention my penchant for procrastination as a delaying tactic?
To be honest it's a wonder I ever blog anything really.......
If you are on Twitter I do update that a bit more regularly.
