Keep Calm Craft On {crafting on} The extended edition

KCCO - My Lina

As crazy as I am, I brought along my finished Lina on our Oregon City adventures Saturday in the hope of having Kevin take a couple of pictures of me wearing it. The sun has been bright and constantly present this past week making photography much more feasible, so it seemed like a good idea. Never mind the fact that I had a wool (winter!) hat on my head in 80 degree weather.

We found a shady spot and I had Kevin pose so I could adjust my camera settings and find the right light. I should add that these poses were all his idea (ahem)but he knows it makes me laugh. He said this will be my most popular post ever due to these pictures of him...
But back to my story. Once I had everything all set up we switched spots and he started taking pictures. I had no clue what to do or how to pose. I felt ridiculously silly. And I think this series of funny faces shows it!

KCCO - directing the photographer with another funny face)

I tried directing my photographer,

KCCO - funny face (where am I supposed to look?!)

and then kept repeating 'Where should I look? What should I do?' (Kevin calls this my bird face)

KCCO - My Lina

Um, maybe I should just look at Baby L?

KCCO-What are you doing Daddy?!

He was even wondering 'What in the world are you two doing?!'

Get the top of my head, that should work!

KCCO - a better model

Eh, I give up. Nara makes a better model anyways!

As for my knitting notes: I am not certain if I love this hat on me or not. I like the cabling on it and I love the yarn but I don't know that I can pull the style off. Something about the shape of it on my head... I don't know. I am wondering if it will be warm enough for winter, but that may just be due to using DK yarn. Maybe it could be a fall hat instead?

I love coming to visit to see what you're up to! Today's pictures made me smile as I can totally relate to the entire experience! As for the hat, I'm a huge cable fan so I think it's perfect! Have a fantastic day!
I love the hat. It is beautiful. Unless your winters are much warmer than ours though, I would use it as a fall and spring hat too. But then, I have been known to wear TWO hats in the winter at the same time ha ha ha.
I actually thought it worked quite well for you. What a gorgeous job you did, and the photos aren't too bad either.
Oh first, you are soo adorable!! These pictures are so sweet <3 Your hat is such a pretty color on you...well done mama!! xo
I love to see you in the photos you post! You can really see how much your little ones look like you. I also love the hat and think it suits you perfectly. It looks good on Nara too :)

You have quite the handsome husband!
Ha! That reminds me a lot of my photo shoots. Much easier taking photos of other people. The hat is super cute!
Here's my crafting for the week, a pair of apricot bloomer shorts for my little girl:

It's a great hat- and yes I do think you can pull it off!
Lovely pictures! :-)
Well, I really like the hat and I really like how it looks on you. I especially like how the color looks with your hair :-) You should wear it. (well, not today, but soon!)
That is so beautiful, love the hat you made yourself.
You CAN definately pull this hat off! The color looks great on you.

And ofcourse this will be your most popular post ever, what a handsome husband like that, whew! ;)
These pictures are too funny! :) I actually really like the hat on you, it's very streamlined and sleek looking and the color is just beautiful. I am excited for hat wearing season...I think fall is probably my favorite season of all.
i think your lina looks fantastic (love the color) and you look beautiful :)
Kevin might be right! But it also might be because of your hat ;-)

Just left you an email message inquiring about the info you need from me. . .

Don't worry about your poses; you are beautiful! I think you can definitely wear the hat.
