I just want you to know a little secret.....
Have you noticed how wonderful some of the pictures at other blogs turn out? Yes? I have, and I can only wish to be that good someday. Kris takes the most lovely pictures, we always end up knitting the same things!
Now Diana is another good example.
But I think the prize should go to Sweet Georgia! I mean come on! Just looking at the pictures makes me want to do everything she is!
I will let you in on a little secret. I am sure they have taken hundreds of photo's until they have found just the right one. Because that is what I do! For instance I have finished my socks and I would like to share my pictures of them
This one I call "The Jig"
Yes, its a bad shot. But I am happy the socks are done!
This one is called "Butt Shot"
What was I thinking? But notice how slender my feet look!
This one I call "Slightly Out of Focus"
Artsy? Uh, no.
This one I call "Socks With Spinning Wheel"
Yes, I am sure it has cobwebs on it. Sigh..........My legs look fat.
Lastly here is the shot I should have just posted about
Socks on the floor. What I should have done in the first place. It is 90 degrees today, why am I modeling socks?
This is what is left
I needed Suki to sit, or lay next to it to show how much yarn is left! What will I do with all this? Can I make some "footlets"? Dunno.
Kris is right, it is hard to take a picture of your feet.
Specs:
Yarn: Opal in purple (the label is in German sorry)
Needles: US 2 Circular 24"/2.75 mm (2 needles)

Ah, now I know why you call yourself big geek! :) I know that we would be friends if we met, 'cause I'm a big geek, too. :) Your socks look fabulous!

Seriously, you're too funny. My favorite shot is the one with the spinning wheel. Now I see what you're talking about in that it folds up. I'm jealous, mine doesn't do that!

it makes me think those socks sure are having a lot of fun.

I love The Jig. That should become the standard sock pose on every blog. Once I finally screw up the courage to attempt socks, assuming I complete a pair, I'll definitely do The Jig.

Good comments on the photographer/bloggers.
Sweet Georgia's photos make my mouth water.
s t r i k k e r's photos make me want to knit Orangina and socks.
Streets and YOs is new to me, thanks for the link. Looks like another good read.
How did you take the photo of "The Jig".

You are sooooo daring to post a pic of your butt on your blog. I would never do that! LOL
Posted by: Jon at June 13, 2005 09:49 AM
Love your photos! They are hilarious. All this for socks!

I think since the kitty posed so nicely for you, you should make her kitty socks. Or a tail warmer.
Fun pictures by the way.

Here's how I took a picture of my knee socks when I finally finished those suckers: Put the socks on. Stand on the floor. Bend all the way forward so all the blood rushes to your head. Snap the picture quick before you pass out and fall over.
Still wasn't easy to get the picture, but at least my legs didn't end up looking misshapen in any way (nor did I have to get my butt in the shot, thank goodness). Just an idea. And just so you know - I am now very intrigued by the idea of socks on two circulars. All your fault. :)

Have you tried the auto-timer?
I make "toe socks" for my grandma with the left-overs... she has to wear compression socks which leave her toes uncovered. So I make her short little socks that cover her toes, with an elastic around the heel to hold them on.
