[Leica] I suddenly have a best selling book

[kyle cassidy on the LUG]

Oddly enough, I find myself the photographer of the #1 best selling knitting book in America right now. It’s one of those “send a letter back in time to your 12 year old self because he’ll never believe it” moments but “Geek Knits”, a collection of nerdy knitting projects modeled by geek celebrities, written by Joan of Dark, climbed to #1 yesterday, beating out “cats in hats” and “star wars crochet”. Likely this moment at the top won’t last long but it’s been an interesting ride.

Here’s a behind the scenes video of one of the photo shoots, Rodney Anonymous from the punk rock band The Dead Milkmen modeling a pair of striped socks in a duel. 

A duel, like a pistol duel.

The book is here, if you know any knitters, especially ones who like Star Trek and NPR.

I’ll post some photos from the book over the next few days. I really have the LUG to thank for a lot of this. Without Brian, and Ted and BD and others, this probably wouldn’t have happened. Thanks guys.
