Knerdy Knitting
where spelling isn't as important as awesome

So a few weekends ago my friend Erin agreed to help me with a photo shoot. The LYS Fiber Nooks & Crannies asked to display my knitting! I chose eight or so garments from across my knitting career, from my first socks made early last year to the headband I finished the day before. One of my favorites is Tubey, a Knitty pattern by Cassie Rovitti. It has a really interesting construction; knit a flat panel for your back, attach a tube on each side for your arms and another tube at the bottom for your body. There’s almost no shaping, but the rib pulls it in just enough to look good.   (I did add hip shaping however.  My ass is a mighty force indeed.)  I did it in bold colors (which is subversive knitting but I’ll save that discussion for another day) with a now discontinued angora yarn. So not only is it fuzzy and warm, it also looks quite fetching. But because of the construction, you don’t see how nice it looks when it’s on the hanger.

Enter Erin and her photography skillz! She took pictures of me in all the garmets I wanted to display, including Tubey.  Here’s just a few.
