I took so many photos for this post, even with my good camera, and a total of 3 of them came out in focus. I ask for forgiveness on that. I have never studied photography and am trying varying a number of variables, but I'm pretty sure I need to obtain or rig a more standard background and lighting arrangement. I have some ideas to play around with, I just need to set aside some time to do it.
On to the knitting! And my first adventure in spinning!
My mom really liked the start of my Traveling Companion (details to come later), so when she came to visit, we took a trip to my LYS. She was struggling to find colors she'd like to blend. We took some time to cruise through some shop samples and she found the Hitchhiker. She really loved it and at my LYS, it is knitted up in Freia. The shop had some in stock and Mom really liked the teal. We discussed the options for alternating balls to preserve the gradient, or working one skein after another. She opted to preserve the gradient and here's the beginning of her shawl.
