I Heart Macro


More thread, I know, but I was struck by the pattern of this spool of crochet thread.  Something I never really paid attention to before.

I'm joining Lori from Studio Waterstone for I Heart Macro where we share our macro and close-up photos.  Every week there are some truly incredible pictures worth viewing.  Why don't you join us!

  4. Great photo capturing the pattern and depth of the spooled thread. The thread has a sheen to it, is it just plain crochet cotton or perle cotton?

  8. I am finding that looking through the lens I am seeing way more than I would normally. All the little details that we just don't notice.

  11. I love this! I take a lot of pictures and never really see what I have until I see them on my computer screen. Sometimes it almost takes my breath away when I see all the details I missed with the naked eye.

  15. I love macro photo too!
    I always need good camera to take that kind of photo you have. I'm not good at photography tho. Like the detail of the yarn! You've captured it beautifully.

  16. It looks like a ball of thick string Annette - wonderful macro shot - and that crisscross pattern goes quite a way in, when you look!

  17. I love macro photography. What a great photo. It just goes to show how something so seemingly mundane can be so interesting close up.

  18. And probably so much analysis has gone into determining how those spools are wound. Great shot!
