Capturing a Finished Project

January 22, 2010

This photograph is part of a set of photos I have decided to start doing to highlight some of my creations. Whether it is something made by hands or cooked, I think it is cool to immortalized it.

When I was a kid, I used to crochet a lot and also recently picked up knitting. I have created a bunch of things but never thought about capturing the final product with my camera.

I created this scarf for my little niece Emma as a Christmas gift this year. I made a little hat using the same yarn and colors last year and thought it would be a good addition to it. The little flower was made with the crochet and the rest of the scarf is knitted.

I like the light in this photo and the focus on my favorite details in this scarf which are the fringes and the flower. I have some work to improve my still life photography skills but I need to start somewhere!
