For Christmas I knit a purple turtle hat for my sister-in-law Gennie, who likes turtles (and purple). This was my first knitting project, and a rather complex one at that, but I never got a photo of it since the whole thing was rather secret until Christmas Day. Well, this weekend Abby and I went up to Sunday River to go snowboarding and Gennie was there, so I finally got a chance to take some pictures of the hat.

All of these were shot with the Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS lens, and Digital Rebel XTi. The Canon 580EX II flash was used undiffused for fill light.

The hat pattern is “Terrific Turtle Hat Pattern” from Kody May Knits.

Abby has taught me to knit. My first project was a purple hat with a turtle pattern, which was a Christmas present for Abby’s sister Gennie (who likes purple and turtles). Unfortunately, I do not have photos of that project since I managed to forget my camera in the busyness of Christmas (sigh). Hopefully soon I’ll get a chance to photograph her wearing it soon.

My second project was a blue Marsan Watchcap which I’ve made for Lucky. I started it on our way to Gabon, and much of the hat was “made in Africa.” But, I did not finish it in time to give it to him at Arisia, so Abby is modeling it instead. I think it looks really nice!
