I Need To Figure Out

knitting

I need to figure out how to photoshop in some sort of tan.

Because I look like someone who has just come out of winter way up North. 

 At this point I’m really wishing I had finished this sweater as planned before Christmas so that when we were in Phoenix, my gorgeous sister could have modeled, and I could have been behind the camera.

 Because the chickens kept trying to get in the shots.  Vain ladies they are.

 If you could do me a favor and tell me your favorites. (If you only knew how I’m dying of embarrassment showing you all these.  It’s been a very long time since I’ve had senior pictures taken, and I’m not much for posing.)  However, usually when people are looking at a knitting pattern, they’re hoping to see some sort of picture of what the end product looks like.

Thanks!

  5. I like the third, fourth, and fifth best… by the way I realized I had had no idea what you looked like! You said it was you and I thought… really? That’s what Gretchen looks like? And I tried to figure out what I thought you looked like and couldn’t… but you’re adorable! 🙂 You’re very pretty.

    By the way did I ever tell you I had a dream with you in it? I was driving around in the middle of the country and we went up a very steep hill and went in a house to make a phone call or get our bearings or something… and it was yours! And you were selling things in a little shop (like crafts and farm goods) and I asked after your chickens….

    I read way to0 many blogs I guess.

  6. I agree with the others…you are adorable and so talented. I like all the pics, but the one of you sitting on the stump with the chicken in the background seems to capture you and your life as you describe it on your blog.

  7. They are all great! I love seeing the detail in the back view and the last one though it doesn’t show much of the sweater I love the pic.

  9. Wow! You’re so slim after all those kids – however do you manage that?! Beautiful pictures, really. I think that the combination of number 3 and 5 illustrate the sweater really well front and back ;0)

  11. Beautiful, Gretchen! The pictures are cute, too. I hate being in pictures by myself – I would have posed with the chickens on purpose. 😉 I love the sweater without the knit belt! It looks great open, and I think it’s so cute with a skinny leather belt. Also, the one where you’re holding it closed in the front makes me think it’d be super cute fastened with a funky brooch. Nice work, I’m so impressed!

  12. Wow! You and that sweater look like you are straight out of a catalogue page of my favorite store, Anthropologie! The cool thing about you, is that you have no idea how simply gorgeous you are. (Thanks for also saying that I’m gorgeous right on your blog for everyone to read. I’m so red.) But seriously, nice work on the sweater, it is so professionally made, trendy, and cool. I’m jealous (in a nice way).

  13. You are aMAZingly talented, Gretchen. I love all the pictures, but I especially like the way the detail of the back shows when you have it on your dressform. I also really like the first one that you are in, where you are holding it closed it front of you. I realize it doesn’t show much of your face, but it sort of gives off a sort of “I’m looking to see if I have any spit up or macaroni and cheese on the front of my amazingly beautiful sweater–and though I’m a mother of many littles, I still look REALLY GOOD in my amazingly beautiful sweater–that I made myself thankyouverymuch.”
