Happenings at DB Impressions

Life has been pretty wild (and really, overall pretty fabulous) over the last few months, but I took a fairly large break from “professional” photography. The phone’s camera has seen a LOT of action though, and boy did that feel funny at first! But hey, its about documenting what’s fun or important at the time, and not worrying about the “perfect” image, right? Putting the camera down was actually a great way to remember that!

Here’s a tiny little glimpse of what happened during the cold weather…although I’ll admit to waiting till it was nice to take some pictures!

Coblyn, the pretty blue-ish, green shawl below was a test knit! Designers will ask for people to test the pattern to make sure that it works out correctly, with the number of stitches and rows, and even to make sure that the number of yards estimated works out! Its a lot of fun, sometimes!

I’m really disappointed for the picture below…its the point of one of my FAVORITE patterns so far, one that I’m fairly sure I’ll make again maybe even soon! I’m bummed because you can’t see the hint of shimmer that runs through the yarn. Its unique, and not something that I’ll work with often, simply because it ends up being too fancy!

Now I’ll be jumping back into summer life, and into the business! I’m glad to have had lots of knitting time (and there are LOTS of socks that you haven’t seen yet!) but I’m almost ready to put it aside for a while and enjoy other things. That’s the great thing about a hobby like that…being able to pick a project up and put it aside as you feel like it! Sometimes, that’s what keeps you sane!
