That&#8217;s a good thing though, because it means that there&#8217;s more daylight, which means more natural light to knit by! And in 2 days, it will be Christmas as well. If you haven&#8217;t finished your shopping and need a last minute gift, might I suggest the first ever It Takes Balls To Knit Wall Calendar for 2012? If you&#8217;re local you can still get it in time to go under the tree! You can order one here &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/ittakesballstoknit.com\/?wpsc-product=2012-wall-calendar\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>2012 CALENDAR<\/strong><\/a>. It&#8217;s a 13 month calendar in 11&#8243; x 17&#8243; format. I&#8217;ve been doing posts on here for a little bit now featuring some of the models in the calendar. In this post I&#8217;d like to feature a videographer, assistant photographer, and a good friend of mine. Frederique Remy is the owner of <a href=\"http:\/\/gonewestprod.com\/#\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Gone West Productions<\/strong><\/a>. It is a small video production company located here in Vancouver, and Freddie does a lot of work for smaller sized businesses (like mine) and also for larger television stations as well.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">She recently did this video for me on the making of the calendar, and also a little bio. I was very pleased to see the final result, and will be uploading it online shortly. Freddie uses a professional video camera (and sometimes a crew), and also a Rebel DSLR that she uses to shoot still and Hi-Def video. The below video is the one she did for me &#8211; in Hi-Def too!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/34006575?title=0&amp;byline=0&amp;portrait=0\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"440\" height=\"248\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Here is what she looks like when she is not behind the lens. As beautiful as the work she does!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ittakesballstoknit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/IMG_0052-e1324718106506.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2095\" style=\"border: 3px solid black\" title=\"IMG_0052\" src=\"https:\/\/ittakesballstoknit.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/IMG_0052-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you&#8217;re as impressed with Freddie&#8217;s work as I am, she is for sale (her words, not mine).
