A photo shoot in November

November 22, 2009 in Uncategorized by Sarah

We were out doing a last minute photo shoot today in the sun:

snow-in-november

It was so lovely.  It snowed a little last night, but it wasn’t cold, which is good as I am unsure of the attractiveness of a very red nose and how it will ever induce anyone to knit a sweater.

A couple little girls walked by, and they were very interested in what we were doing.  One of them says to me: “I want to be a model — are you a model?” To which I didn’t have an immediate response — I guess I am, as I model my own designs, it would be a bit different if I were paid to do it, but as it is no one can tell me I can’t.

They told us that designing sweaters is cool, and they would be happy to buy the one I was wearing.  Apparently they thought the lovely Jonathan was proposing, instead of taking my picture, which would have been more exciting than having my picture taken and require much less standing on boggy ground.  Not that I want to imply that having a sweater in Knitty isn’t very exciting indeed.

Having been married and published in Knitty, it is difficult to say which was more exciting the first time — being divorced, I can say that I think getting published in Knitty was.

That isn’t good: I guess I will have to fall back on many more people being married than being published in Knitty and leave it at that.

  • Fried rice pick me up
    I used to live in China, and there are some things that I still miss, some things I don’t.  One thing that I became very tired of in China, but now miss is fried rice. I went to China without learning any Chinese at all, and I had to rely on others for many things,  including [...] […]
  • Granola
    Granola is one of the things I really like to make.  I made some recently and this particular version is so lovely that I thought I would share: Recipe: 4 1/2 cups rolled oats 1/4 cup oat bran 1/2 cup sunflower seeds 1/4 cup hulled sesame seeds 1/2 cup sliced almonds 1/2 cup pecan halves 1/3 cup dried cranberries 1/4 cup dried currants 1/4 cup [...] […]
  • Lemon buttermilk cookies
    One of the most inspiring examples of food writing I have experienced is A Homemade Life: Stories and Recipes from My Kitchen Table by Molly Wizenberg — and I have since started reading her blog Orangette.  I made these buttermilk cookies with lemon zest cookies from her index of recipes today: They are wholly satisfying — [...] […]
  • Cranberry jam
    I made this cranberry jam recently: It is quite lovely, and simple to make.  I got the recipe from Nigella Lawson’s How to Be a Domestic Goddess: Baking and the Art of Comfort Cooking, and as she says it really is very easy. I think I may make some next year and give it away for Christmas [...] […]
  • Pistachio cookies (recipe coming)
    I made these pistachio cookies a few days ago: My boyfriend says they are like me — not too sweet and a little nutty. Next time I will put them on parchment paper to make sure they don’t get to dark, and make a few more tweaks.  I plan to make them a few more times to [...] […]

Congratulations on being in Knitty! That is exciting! I’m not a pattern maker, rather, a pattern ADAPTER, so I wanted to show you what I did with your pattern for Lyra’s hat. Photos are over on my blog. Thanks for having such awesome patterns! I plan on buying your pattern for West Wind mittens very soon. Thanks again!

Amy,
Thank you and you’re welcome, I am excited and checking for the new issue. I like what you have done with the pattern — it looks like fun. The west wind gloves are great to wear, I recommend them.
Cheers, Sarah
