Pure Knits
Two years ago, when I was an editor at a craft publisher, I worked a photo shoot for a book titled Pure Knits, a collection of sophisticated knitting patterns using luxurious yarns in shades of only one color: white. We rented an RV, loaded up models and completed projects, and drove to locations at Crane Beach in Ipswitch and the nearby salt marshes.
Some beautiful photos were taken, many of which would appear in the final book, but my favorite pictures from the shoot are among the outtakes: Here’s just a sample:
Well, I was beginning to think it would never happen, but that book is finally in print. I received an advance copy this week, and I’m very proud of it on a number of levels.

I grew up about a mile down from Crane’s Beach. What a magical place. I’ll order the book for the Library tomorrow… can’t wait to see. Congrats.

I can easily substitute my beloved grey for all the white. and I agree the original cover is much more pleasant. Yay for it finally happening. i’ve found cute babies sell patterns and yarn. I knit a project in yarn I didn’t want to knit and for a pattern that didn’t really excite me all because the baby model was so darned cute. It worked out perfectly because I ended up needing a gift just as I was finishing it up, but still…
