So after posting about Rhinebeck and the fact that I went with my friend Julia, it seemed a little sad that there were no photos of her! So I'm making up for it with a Julia focused post!
Julia is going to be modeling some knitwear for me and we had a test run photoshoot at her house yesterday so I thought I'd share a few of the many gorgeous photos of her.
Here she is sporting what was my Rhinebeck garment......(a new design).....hooded cardi, with no name yet. She's going to be test knitting this one along with Christy.This prototype is in Malabrigo, which I do love, but pills so badly.....so the sample will be in something else.
.....and this is the new shawl design, pattern being written right now, also being test knit by Julia (what a great friend she is)!
...I also took a lot of photos of Julia's own finished projects so she can improve her Ravelry page....here is her stunning Counterpane Carpet bag....made from her own handspun and also dyed by her! She needs some more friends on Rav so go and check her out!I'm so happy that I get to live near this lovely person again, she's really the one responsible for getting me into this whole knitting/designing lark in the first place!

Julia makes a lovely model!
Both of those new designs are beauties!
Love that new cardi design! Nice work, looking forward to the pattern!
Great modeling job and great new designs!
Julia is a lovely model for your knits. Your Mal sweater is gorgeous, but yeah, I can see a bit of pilling already in the second photo where the sun is shining on it. I'm sure the new sample will be great!
And is that the Moch Cardi I see Julia sporting underneath your new shawl design? :)
Lovely designs! Julia (my daughter's name too)is indeed a lovely model and her hair is fantastic!
Your friend is stunning and so is that sweater. Soooo excited to knit it. I know I said this on flickr, but I love it even more after seeing these detailed shots.
Lovely designs. I'm glad you linked to Julia's ravelry site. I'm envious about the test knitting.
beautiful
I love this jacket VERY much !
Do you know when the pattern will be available?
Julia is beautiful! And I can't wait to see more of that cardi and search the stash for suitable yarn!
Lovely designs. Julia is beautiful.
Oh how I love that new cardi. I'm sure it will be the first Gudrun pattern that I will knit! I'm quite excited about it...
Selkie on Ravelry
Hello, there! I remember seeing both of you at Webs earlier this month, and again at Rhinebeck. And here you are on the Intertubes. I will definitely say hi the next time I run into you guys!
I did saw you and Julia at Rhinebeck with that sweater and her beautiful purple Moch,(you were even in our hotel at breakfast!) -- but I was too shy to blurt out more than a quick "love your designs" and run away.
Even though I was wondering about the lovely hoodie...Next year, I'm definitely saying hi without running away!
These are beautiful photos! Love your new design as well.
The designs and Julia are all lovely, lovely, lovely.
What a beautiful woman- LOVE her hair! That cardi looks made for her. I'm looking forward to that pattern!!
Those designs are gorgeous!

Julia is lovely, and so is are the new designs! Can't wait to see more of them.
She's gorgeous! Whether it be yourself, your kids, or your friends, you always pick the perfect models for your knits!

i love that hoodie!! and what a beautiful model, too.
Can't believe I hadn't commented on these gorgeous designs. They are fabulous and I think Julia is a wonderful model - could you bring her to Scotland in your suitcase so I can photograph her?
Wow, what a wonderful friend as well as lovely model!! That hooded cardi is such a GREAT design - so classic and wearable. Congratulations Gudrun, what awesome work you're doing!
I absolutely love that hoodie. It looks so cozy and warm...something I could use here right now.
