I Hope You Had a Good Time!

12/8/2005

If you’ve had your fill of goodies and tea, please feel free to hang out and knit in the living room. I can light the fireplace if anyone is interested…

I do have a little party favor for those in attendance…

The Nifty iPod Nano Necklace cozy!

The much asked for Nifty iPod Nano Necklace pattern has been written up and added to the free knitting patterns section of my web site. So, those who are giving Nano’s this year for Christmas may knit necklace cozies to go with them. Or, knit one for yourself if you have a Nano. While the directions only contain info for fitting the Nano, a little experimentation and/or math should allow you to adjust the pattern to fit any of the iPods or other personal MP3 players of your choice. The Nano sized one takes less than 50 yds of sock yarn and only day of dedicated knitting of a weekend of sporadic knitting.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season. Tomorrow we will return to the regularly scheduled fibery news.

EDIT: This was quite late in being posted because the diesel wouldn’t start this morning because of the cold so I had to take DH to work. There were some network troubles getting me on the Internet this time around. Also, I still can’t always answer e-mails do to these troubles, so I apologize. It should be warm enough and he won’t be leaving before 7am for a dental appointment so I should be home and have full e-mail access so I’ll reply then. I’m sorry for any inconvenience.

FO Friday!

My nano cozy necklace.

On Saturday and some of Sunday I kicked out a home for my Nano using about 1/2 oz of the remaining Bearfoot from the gauntlets of last week on those Pony Pearl US 1.5 needles I was bitching complaining about yesterday. I *love* this design, though there would be a few tweaks in another one. But, I’m so glad I was struck with the idea of use attached i-cord to “seam” the bag and make the necklace portion all in one. I think it’s a nice touch in the design. The best part? Even with the iPod in there the thing only weighs 2.3 oz! It’s almost imperceptible.

A look at the full nano cozy necklace.
