Selfies

I think knitters are the ones who invented the selfie. Thank goodness no one knows.

I tell you what: It's impossible to take a picture of a newly knit hat when you're alone and without a remote.

I have a new hat pattern and I want to show it to you before the official photos (of myself-ie) are done. 

Here's try number one:

Ugh. Try number two:

Great shot of my phone case. Try number 3:

No comment. 

So I got wise and here is your money shot:

Top down and in the round. Malabrigo Arroyo. Finished the pattern today and it's with the tech editor.

BTW: I will be a guest knit designer on a CAL/KAL with Marly Bird, who's a crochet and knit designer. She also does these cool web casts. (Even did one with Outlander's Diana Gabaldon!) If you're interested in getting the details of the CAL/KAL via her newsletter, you can sign up here. There's also a new Ravelry group that you can join here. The patterns will be available for sale on February 25th and the official KAL/CAL starts on March 1st. Lots of prizes, and we'll both be knitting and crocheting with you and providing support and tutorials. We're calling it a Learn-A-Long because the theme is entrelac and let me tell you, I've never done it before and designing for it was a learning experience!

Cute hat!
Don't forget how freaky a Selfie always turns out when you try to use that handy "backwards" feature on the camera! I feel your pain.

You can use the headphones that come with an iPhone as a remote shutter button for the camera. I don't know if that would help. :-/
