Brooch

A challenge. I can't get a good focus on this brooch. Inherited this and it is a Scottish Thistle with a violet coloured stone in the middle. I am going to try a photo with better light to get much clearer focus.
The jersey I have on is 'illions' of years old! I knitted it with very light wool so many years ago. It is so light and warm, I am reluctant to throw it away.
Set it on something wooden or a lovely cloth and photograph it that way in close up. Easier than when you are still wearing it. Looks very pretty and I like that jumper of yours!

Both are good ideas, @casablanca I might use the tripod too!

Your brooch sounds wonderful, great ideas from Casablanca. I would love to see the details. Your jumper looks and sounds like the perfect item to wear on cooler days.

@ludwigsdiana I knitted the arms longer than usual, Diana and that's why I like it so much. But it is not a modern style.

the jumper looks lovely - definitely a keeper. I think you did well at that angle with your focus on the brooch.

@annied OK, Annie - I'll keep it for another 40 years!

Don’t throw your lovely sweater away! That brooch is lovely. Look forward to your closeup of it.

The jersey is beautiful, and if it is still functional and whole, there’s no reason to throw it away! You might be too close to get a clear focus on the brooch, but from what I could see it’s also very beautiful

Lovely and great focus on the Scottish brooch. Is the stone an amethyst?

@jamibann I'm wondering that, Issi! Maybe I'll take it to a jeweller.
