Harvest Date

These may be some of the simplest patterns I have ever written, and I must admit, it’s crazy fun writing a pattern for a quick project like this after spending time writing long sweater patterns in 8 sizes.  The edits from my tech editor this time around didn’t make my head spin.  It’s also very satisfying knitting something small with a US9 needle, right after finishing my last project which was a large sweater on size US3 needles with detailed color work.  It all went so fast!

The problem was figuring out how to photograph this set when the leaves were perfect, and the clouds were just at that perfect state of overcast.  After some queries to some photography friends, I finally decided just to let Silje use my DSLR, and coach her through doing a photo shoot.  For a control freak like me, it was great to tell someone, “OK, I want you to stand right there, and I want this and this and this in the frame.  OK, take a few more like that” and they just do it.  Then I could see what she was doing every few minutes.  We’re an amazing team.  She had so much fun, and so did I.  She got some great ones too, that I wouldn’t have thought to set up.  I love seeing the world through her eyes.

The Harvest Date Set can be purchased here, and you can purchase the patterns separately, or together at a discount.  Enjoy!
