I love taking family photos! It's so fun to see people spending time laughing with their kids. Here are a few groups I've had the priviledge of shooting in the past month. You may have seen one or two of these on my Flickr page but I'm having so much fun with them that I thought I'd do a little post here, too.
In February, I published a mitten pattern with Windy Valley Muskox . It takes about 1 1/2 skeins of this fabulous yarn so you'll have to buy two. Of course, you could make the cuffs longer! I'm thinking I need a version with fingers (aka gloves). It's on the back burner, for the moment. In the meantime, let me tell you how lovely it is to work with qiviut! It is one of the softest fibers, definitely the lightest, and so warm for the weight; it's best as a light layer under others, and luxurious close to the skin. Sometimes, people misunderstand and think that qiviut comes from the inside coat (I'm not sure how to imagine that), or the underbelly of the muskox; that's because it is often described as the "under coat." What this actually means is that it's the down layer, and grows during the cold months, closer to the skin, all over the animal; it's like down feathers on a duck. I worked for WVM for several yea...
Hmmm. I'm thinking that middle crew are pretty darn cute LOL!
