Forget the Knitting Needles and Give Me a Camera!

I was contacted through the photo-sharing website Flickr by a British writer requesting to use a knitting picture of mine for an article in an upcoming issue of Motoring and Leisure magazine. She sent me a copy of the issue (which has cute penguins on the cover!). A picture I shot is in a magazine! Eek, I'm excited! It is included in a article about getting tickets to various events (a mommy/baby show, bike show, motoring show, etc.) and in specific about a craft fair.

Here is the picture:

My two skeins of Manos del Uruguay "Wildflowers" against my former hardwood floors.


I've always been interested in photography (interested in others' works), so I've been trying to learn the basics and improve my picture quality. Now I've been published! Granted, I've been published by a magazine that I had not heard of previously (and quite possibly is a free publication - not that there's anything wrong with that), and I received no money whatsoever, but I'm happy that a picture of mine was "good enough" to publish in a magazine - woohoo!

That's wonderful, payed picture or not, that doesn't matter! It's a cute picture, I like yarn photos myself. I just made a photo which I love, by accident it came out great. It's not skill, but luck! (with my pics anyway). LOL
You should go and celebrate! I just read your "About me" and am still laughing! ;o)
