I love sharing pictures of my finished projects — but sometimes getting a good photo is difficult.  I have been trying to get a satisfactory photo of my newly completed “Circus in the Woods” shawlette for about a week.  The challenge being that it is long and narrow and features many different colors of yarn.  Actually, the characteristics that make it such a dynamite piece (and so very wearable) are what make it hard to photograph!  It is one of the rare pieces that I have knit twice — the first time as the Jimmy Beans  Craftvent knit-along project from December 2017 (designer Rachel Roden).  They provided the yarns — delicious ones in grays, purple, orange!  I have worn it so much that I decided to knit it again in an entirely different color way —something kind of wild!  And when I started putting yarns together I found myself tempering some very vivid yarns with some very earthy ones — or was it the other way around?  Not sure.  But as it all came together it made me think of a circus in the woods.  

This is a nice detail photo — but doesn’t really give you the scope of the piece

Here is a more complete photo — but it kind of looks like a dragon curled up like that!

Sarah helped me out with this one — better!

But my favorite way to show it is as it is meant to be worn!  

With joy!  Thank you, Evelyn!
