Well, this year is the year that I officially started really feeling my age. I have a senior in high school this year and therefore I must be old enough to have one. One of the things that need to be done for seniors is submitting a 'senior portrait' to the school for the yearbook. Our budget is tight and I wasn't sure how we would swing some of the prices that were being quoted, so I contacted Amanda York at amble imagery. She is the daughter of a dear friend and also a close friend of mine and I know that she does AMAZING work. She worked with us on the price and I just picked up the photos today. Here is one of the many shots she took, when she and DragonNight went out a few weekends ago. It's a great shot that so captures DragonNight's style.
Since Amanda did such an amazing job and helped us out, I wanted to do something a little extra for her and so I created this set (modeled by me this morning), for her. I used the stitch pattern from a pair of legwarmers but since that was the sole use of the other pattern, I am planning to write this one up and sell it on Ravelry. If you are a knitter and would like to test either pattern, give me a holler.
I'll also include another finished project that I finished last month, but haven't shared yet. I knit the Celebration Shawlette that my friend Jane created for a local yarn store's anniversary. I knit it in Handmaiden SeaSilk yarn, since so many natural fibers irritate me. This allows me to wear it and enjoy it. Here it is pictured with one of my Irish Rose Button Closures.
