This weekend i whipped up a little sweater for her. It was quick and loads of fun. I knit it in the round out of some Lisa Souza sock yarn (Heels and Toes from Stitches West) then steeked it open and added trim (Sirdar snowflake – the tangliest yarn in the universe). the end result is like a jacket with furry trim.

Doesn’t the photo look really artsy? That’s because I used my new $4 Kodak Duaflex II to take the picture. The technique is called “Through the Viewfinder” and you use a modern camera to take a picture of the image in the large viewfinder of the old Duaflex or similar cameras. I first noticed this technique through the Make blog, or Flickr, i can’t remember which. I’ve had my eye out for a suitable camera ever since, and I found one for only $4 this weekend. I just used a cardboard poster tube to support my old digital camera. No taping yet, but it would be nice to get rid of the light leaks.

Really, it was the kind of flu that kills old people. couldn’t even keep down liquids. But now i am immune – hahahahaha!

the second reason is because of something that I did on wednesday night and didn’t tell you about…

Steeking

I cut it. It was awesome and I can’t wait to do it again. still no finieshed pics though… Still needs some bands around the arm holes and the neck.

Tomorrow I am going to Sonoma for a little wine tasting. I doubt I will have much wine, but maybe i will try a little MoBlogging…
