We are Cecily Glowik MacDonald and Melissa LaBarre, co-authors of the upcoming book New England Knits (Interweave, Spring 2010). We both live in Massachusetts, but at opposite ends of the state. We've known each other since before knitting ever took over our lives, but our shared love of the craft has made us a team.
This past weekend we traveled to Newburyport, Massachusetts for the photo shoot for our book. The locations were beautiful, the weather cooperated, and an amazing group worked from sunrise to sunset, fussing over our sweaters. It's difficult to put the weekend into words, so we'll try to sum it up in pictures:
Newburyport, MA. Pretty, isn't it?
An accessory shoot on the beach. This one is responsible for a few sunburns.
Sweater shoot on a wobbly dock.
Liz Quan, Art Director, points out details for close up shots.
On location at a pig farm. Model Veronica checks out the piglets that ran around during the shoot. Piglets!
Shooting at another farm. This place had an extremely friendly old dog, big red barns, rusty tractors and pick up trucks galore.
We're looking forward to seeing everything from the photographer's end in the next few weeks.
Until then, we'll knit and wait.
xo,
Melissa and Cecily
