Dig it, babe, you need a new look

The new year has inspired a brand new look for The Yarn Side, complete with an overhaul of the logo. It speaks more to my personality, I have to say. I've always been a fan of Americana tattoo-styles and the denim-fade of grunge. I think since the beginning of The Yarn Side I was attempting to do something more sophisticated, something that would streamline into the hundreds of shops out there, but obviously that was backwards thinking. Standing out, being myself, and letting my work represent who I am and what I'm passionate about is clearly the way to go.

So, help me in saying "Hello 2010!" and "Goodbye, 200-stinker!" because this is a year of possibilities.

Welcome to...

Join The Yarn Side at Ravelry!

Are you a fan of Ravelry? Want to jump in and chat with other fans/friends of The Yarn Side?

I'm hoping we can have a place to share photos of yarn, fiber, handspun, and finished projects. A place where we can chat about new colorways, or discuss club installments, and more.

If you're interested in becoming a member of the group, you can find us here.

What Are You Really Getting Here?

Caryn Drexl has her own ideas when she comes up with the concept for her photo shoots, but she always tells others that they should allow her images to mean more than that. She'd prefer you find your own story in her work rather than force her own vision onto you.

Yarnography, then, is the re-telling of the images via yarn and color. Brianna will let the images below inspire her to create one-of-a-kind colorways. They won't always be as simple as plucking the colors from the photographs. Instead, they will be a re-telling--perhaps the backstory she finds within them, that lead to the moment that was captured in the image. Each inspired colorway will be a surprise, and absolutely special.
