I need to learn more about photographing yarn.  I can usually get a picture that’s in focus.  The problem is getting a picture that reproduces the color accurately.

When this month’s club shipment from Indigodragonfly arrived yesterday, I thought I had a good idea for an outside-the-box picture.  ::bzzzzt:: Wrong, but thanks for playing.  The colorway is Ruxpinosferatu aka Teddy Vampire.  I hauled out Chocolate Truffle and put him on the front steps with the yarn in one arm and a voodoo doll in the other.  The club shipment came with voodoo doll pins which is where I got the idea to take the voodoo doll off of the fridge.  No, I’m not into refrigerator or any other flavor of voodoo.  It’s a magnet somebody gave me in a swap.

The picture wasn’t quite what I imagined and the yarn color wasn’t even close.  Usually I get accurate colors outside.  Here’s a much better representation of the yarn color:

I'm not going to use such nice yarn for a voodoo teddy bear, which is the club project for this shipment.  Maybe there's some clown barf in my leftovers that would be appropriate.
