daddy and baby TtV

love it.

Andy TtV for you.

I made a contraption for my nikon/duaflex, today. The purpose of the contraption is to be able to take photos through the viewfinder without any glare on the glass. I got a few light leaks, so I need to tweak it a bit. I’ve heard good things about lining it with felt, so I may [...]

365.311: new meets old

We picked up my Kodak Duaflex II from the post office, this morning (thank you, ebay seller, for shipping so promptly). I.am.in.love!

I didn’t have a contraption handy (directions printed, supplies ready, just need some time), but I think I got some decent shots with my D40. This will surely tide me over in photography [...]

..or at least the beginning of one!

2.25mm (US1!) needles make teensy weensy stitches! That’s why I’ll be using my 3mm needles for my green socks. I’m about 90% certain of the pattern I’ll use.

A beret.

Pattern: improvised. I WAS going to make Le Slouch by knit and tonic, but I decided to change things up. I’ve made a beret before, afterall! see? I started with 72 stitches and a twisted rib. I increased (over a few rounds) to 120 and knit for about 6.25″ before starting my rapid decreases (12 [...]

I found this fabulous tutorial for apple yarn favors. Since October is like 2 days away, we made pumpkins! We also made an apple, and a tree. They’re super easy!
