The black yarn in the Mariner’s scarf is really hard to photograph on its own. It either washes out to grey, or the contrast is too intense and it ends up looking like a black blob. This photo, with some background color in the form of a cat captures it the best so far.
I did not think I would have a lot of time to work on any project this week, but an unexpected block of it showed up today. Original plans fell through and it ended up being a low-key recharge day. The next few will be busy again, so I appreciated the time spent feet up, cat on lap, and hook in hand. It also explains why every project I make comes with bonus cat hair.

Happy New Year!
To you as well!
Yes, it is so hard to take a photo of dark yarn. You got a nice photo.
It seems to need a colored background. Black is really tough.
Great Photo! The color, the stitches and the markings on your Cat are Great!
She is the cat that will sit without playing with the yarn. I caught a rare non-napping photo of her on my lap.
Bonus the cat hair. Love it. Happy New Year
Yes, no extra charge for that. Happy new year to you too!
As far as the cat hair is concerned, you either need a black cat or a ginger scarf to work on! Of course, then you’d have photo problems again.
It would be nice if the cats only were drown to yarn and fabric that matched them. The opposite seems more true.
