I'm finally beginning to catch up on blogging but am back with a bit of a problem. While I carry on talking about things already finished and photographed, I can't get a decent picture of anything that's current! With this rubbish weather we're having, my usual light box doesn't work. All the natural light is too blue and it's bleaching out all the colours. Greens look blue, reds and pinks become purple.
Of course I say "light box" in the loosest of terms here. What it usually involves is a big board balanced on my bedroom windowsill covered in a white table cloth. There's usually such good light coming in there in the morning it makes for a great place to take pictures. It also means I have to have a blackout blind in the summer or be woken up at daybreak (but that's another story entirely). This is also proving problematic for getting yarn uploaded to the shop. Trying to tell people that the rather grey looking yarn in the picture is actually a beautiful shade of apricot just doesn't wash for some reason. So, new light box set up it is and quickly hopefully. I think I've still got some daylight bulbs tucked away in the cupboard. Fingers crossed they'll do the job!
