And so here I am, casting on another pair in a different yarn, hoping the socks and the camera will play nicely this time!
It’s rare that I knit two samples for a pattern. In fact, it may even be unprecedented but on this occasion it is necessary. Next month’s pattern is to be socks, but unfortunately the sample pair I have knitted have proved to be completely impossible to photograph! The yarn is a gorgeous variegated green, and it’s the variegation that is causing the issue. In real life, the stitch pattern shows beautifully, the variegation and the design work together in delightful harmony, and the name suits the design. Rendered on film (or rather in pixels) the stitch pattern totally vanishes among the colour variegation. I’ve tried indoor lighting, outdoor lighting, cloudy overcast sky, bright sunshine, it makes no difference, the stitch pattern is completely indiscernible.
