At first I was just admiring its rustic charm, but then I began to think like a blogger--seeing the ways this bench could become relevant to my blog. Right away I knew what I needed to do. I walked back to the car to retrieve an item to add to the picture. And now...
...this bench is the perfect backdrop to the
most-difficult-to-photograph sock ever. The second sock of this pair will be cast on in a few days, after I play around with knitting a few preemie hats.
Stitch Pattern: Garter Rib
Yarn: Happy Feet
Color: 4 (Shades of red that tend to glow when photographed!)
Yellow is the perfect back drop to red. Old faded, peeling yellow...good work in both the sock and the picture. ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great picture! I love the washcloth from the last post as well. You always have such professional-looking pictures! :)
ReplyDeleteThe picture looks great! You would never know it was so hard to photograph!
ReplyDeleteBlogging does change your perspective on things doesn't it. Wonderful picture, and I love the sock. Just beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great 4th!

The prospective of the bench makes the photograph as it is out of the ordinary. I like the contrast of the bench and the sock. Nice job.
ReplyDeletepretty sock. and what a cool old bench.
ReplyDeleteI've always had a hard time taking photos of reds.
Pretty sock, handsome bench, beautiful photo.
ReplyDeleteGreat backdrop and I love the color of the sock!
ReplyDeleteOld, worn stuff is always the best. Cute setting for your sock:)
ReplyDeleteHmmm, You also think like a photographer. Your pictures are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love the red sock. What a cherry looking red.
OK - that simple bench shot may be one of my all time favorites. There's something so reassuring about it. It takes me to a feeling of "Oh, there's an emtpy bench to sit on" that you get after walking around all day and the only thing you want is to sit and rest.

Nice back drop for a nice looking sock. I love old benches like that.
ReplyDeleteNice touch and the red is so deep and rich just what you want for a sock. Lovely as always happy knitting.
ReplyDeleteYOu need to share the big fish picture!
ReplyDeleteYes, Tracy, where's the big fish? ;-Þ
ReplyDeleteI guess you can see I finally got the comment window to open for me. I decided to try one more time after that last e-mail. Voila'! I don't know what my problem was, but I hope it's gone for good!
As I told you in an e-mail, I LOVE the "sock on bench" photo. It's homey, and yet has a real artsy look about it. I'm not sure which is best, your knitting or your photography. Both are excellent!
