Call for Photos & 5-Day Contest

Folks,

I’m looking for pictures of items you have knitted using vintage patterns (not Nancy Bush rewriteups or “takes” on vintage but from real vintage patterns.) They can be with or without you in them - but they should not have been previously published on your blog or here on the Vintage KAL. These can be either portraits of you wearing a garment, or of close-ups of a garment detail - you can get as arty as you want. The garment should be knitted from a genuine vintage pattern (not a Nancy Bush or a rewrite) and photos should be clean, well lit, and well composed, but beyond that the sky’s the limit.

The best photo will win a fat hunk of yarny goodness from me, plus your photo will be published here at the Kitchener Bitch at a later date. There’s more brewing, but I can reveal more later.

The catch? I need you to return your photo to me by Friday, September 29. Yes, that’s less than a week away! Ridiculous, I know, but on the off chance that you have a photo… hey, it can’t hurt to ask.
Please don’t post your finished object here - mail it to me at krengren AT hotmail.com. I can take sizes from 300 pixels wide to 1 megabyte large, 72 dpi. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to contact me. Thanks! And I look forward to your submissions!

    just an update - 3 more rows on one shoulder - seaming the shoulders, weaving in ends, blocking and photographing.

    Might not happen before Monday, but VERY SOON

    I have a photo for you, but I don’t know when I will have the chance to scan it for emailing purposes (actually, I am not sure I know where it is right now…boxes everywhere!)
