Works In Progress and Finished Projects Round Up

I bought buttons today for two baby projects that I've been working on lately, and I got really lucky. I didn't even go anywhere special to get the buttons; they are just from Fabricland. They are, however, both patently and exactly right for the projects that I selected them for; so much so that I found myself taking a whole bunch of pictures of both projects as well as a few others things I've seen working on. My still life photography skills are getting better, I think. (If I do say so myself.)

First up: The dreaded February Baby Sweater. I did not love knitting this, but I do love the result. Almost enough to keep me from giving away this sweater.

Next: The Pembroke vest. I really didn't care for this colour, but I think it will be very cute on a little boy.

And finally the WIPs:

Hot Kitteh in the City

It's about a bajillion degrees here, by which I mean approximately 30C/86F. Mat and I went for a walk down at the waterfront today; I very foolishly forgot to wear sunscreen and am now feeling the wrath of the sun on my delicate skin. I brought the camera along and managed to take a few good pictures.

Knitting & Crochet Blog Week - Day Four

Addendum: Upon further reflection, there is actually something I want to learn--or, more correctly, learn to do better. I want to learn to take better pictures of my knitting and my yarn. To that end, I'm looking at doing a few online digital photography classes this summer, and I am going to build myself a lightbox tomorrow. It's going to be awesome.
