Yarnography
I've had this yarn in my stash for several years. It came from a yarn swap with an online friend. I have a couple of skeins of the same yarn in a green colorway and I've always thought I could do something fun with combining these yarns, but I've never gotten around to it. It's such a pretty yarn I just kind of want to stare at it in skein-form and not even necessarily knit it.
And just for fun, here's an accidental picture of the same yarn. I like how it looks like a painting.
Any suggestions for what to do with three skeins of Brown Sheep Handpaint Originals, two green and one blue?

Yarnography
I bought myself a little present this week: a Canon speedlight 430EX. A flash for my DSLR camera. I know there's a lot of dissing out there of flash photography, but when you get the flash up off the camera, suddenly all sorts of photography possibilities arise. Bouncing light off a wall or ceiling allows you to simulate a real light source, not a glaring burst of light coming directly from the camera.
Turns out, I'm not the only person out there who loves to take pictures of yarn. There's a Yarnographers group on Ravelry, complete with lessons to help people learn how to take better pictures of their yarn.
I'm so excited to see what I can do with my new camera equipment. I plan on posting some yarnography every Friday.
