This weekend we played around a bit with TTV photography. (More over at Pete's blog.) For those of you who have never heard of TTV, or through the viewfinder, basically you use a newer camera to take a photo through the viewfinder of an older camera. We have both a Kodak Brownie Hawkeye -- which I used for this photo -- and a Mamiya C33 Professional. Fun and cheaper than finding or re-rolling film for the old cameras.
And here we have a failure. I love the pattern -- Wisp -- I love the yarn -- Koigu -- I hate the color of said yarn. I was hoping that once I started knitting, it would look muted, but sophisticated, but after seeing it in the harsh light of day, it screams baby blanket to me. While I do have two matching skeins of Koigu in a different colorway, I'm pretty sure I won't like it knitted up into a scarf either as it is a yellow/purple combo. Ah well, time to tink and find another project. What are you knitting?
Koolaid to the rescue? Koigu is too nice to just shunt to the side because of color issues. Good luck!
