Two Hands Knitting by vignouse

Two Hands Knitting

Mrs S knitting toy rabbits as presents for two knitting and crocheting friends. As I post this she is spending a long weekend with them in Worthing, England, having caught the Rennes-Southampton flight this afternoon.

This is another in my 'Hands' series and rewards viewing on black if you can.
I didn't need to look at it on black to know that it was superb, but on black, rewarding is an understatement

Yes on the black it is a treasure! The light is so good on the hands and like artists in the distant past has always been a good subject! fav

Excellent series!

Exquisite on white, enhanced still further on black. I'd say most photos are. So I've never really been sure why 365 uses white as it's background colour.

@jasperc Well if black was the background screen colour, the text would have to be white or a very light colour and that would be very wearing on the eyes I think. This way, we have a choice.

beautiful detail and clarity... these kind of images really pack a punch... they are quite visceral in a way...
August 15th, 2015  
Yes it does reward being viewed on black...There was a TV series in Irish television a few years back called Hands all about crafts people who kept traditional skills alive. I'm sure your good Lady Wife would have been just the kind of subject they would have featured. Fav pic for me..

@rosiekerr
Thank you for your appreciative wedding ring comment. We both have the same ring. They're Russian and are 3 intertwined rings of yellow, white and rose gold. The additional ring is also Russian which I fell across in a tatty jewellers a little while after we were married. Another jeweller did some rebuilding work on it to make it more robust. It's a twist of yellow gold with a sphere at each end to hold the ring in place. You won't be surprised to know that we like it too!

Wonderful monochrome. The detail is exquisite:)
August 15th, 2015  
@s4sayer I am a long-time knitter (until photography took over) and so is my daughter. :) So fun to see you here!
August 16th, 2015  
@rosiekerr What Mrs S didn't mention is that the three intertwined rings represent the trinity of marriage... man and woman joined permanently together in Holy Matrimony by and with God.
