Introspection - a different perspective

It wasn’t possible for me to knit more than 2 sets of Hat samples for this collection, although I did briefly flirt with the idea of knitting up a worsted weight set until I listened to my shoulders who were firmly saying No. But I can do is get the Hats we have photographed on different people.

Aida, a friend of ours who’s more like family, is more than happy to model for us and she’s been to visit recently. So together we popped down to the local derelict quarry to continue our ‘let’s rephotograph all the Hats’ project. We’re a bit exhausted, we’ve done 3 shoots in this last week alone, but the results are worth it.

Don’t they look great? I think it really helps to show them on different models in different environments, even if they are the same Hats.

This are a little big for Aida and it’s mostly not that noticeable except perhaps with the bonnet - given it’s split brim and roomy shape it’s one design that really needs to fit properly.

These are now in the queue for their alt text and descriptions - we’ve a team system backend for getting these things all written in a consistent format that the new website will be able to pull and thus reducing the need frontend to keep inputting the same thing over and over again.

And I’m slowly adding these shots to the product pages here and on the various platforms. That’s one thing I’m really looking forward to not doing on the new website - adding all the photos to all the pages to all the menus. On our internet connection that takes an age and eats an awful lot of time. Patience self, patience!

I’ve enough photo editing just from the many recent photoshoots to keep me busy for some time, so obviously we’re planning more! With Tom and Aran modelling, and maybe Simone who modelled Slonnet for us. We’ll see how the next few weeks pan out, as I’m in desperate need of some downtime and quiet.
