My Little Bundle Of Joy..
In the wee hours of the morning (last night) I finished my Pod sock.. and it was a good thing too.. because at around 10:30 this morning the FedEx-Man-Stork brought me my little bundle of joy...
It turns out it fits Mr. Pod perfectly.. but I don't really have a need for it anymore because my loving Brad actually did take me to buy the case I wanted so there wasn't any "lag" at all really.. And wouldn't you know it.. now they're sticking their own temporary case things in with the Ipods now.. so I really didn't need to knit the sock at all.. I'm still glad I did because probably if I didn't the case wouldn't have been there.. lol.
Here's Mr. Pod.. he sure is a cutey!!
I'll really enjoy knitting while listening to Mr. Pod.. especially when Brad is playing his computer games..
Can you believe he got here all the way from China in a day and a half? It's totally mind blowing!
If you want to knit your own sock for an Ipod Nano here's what I did:
Meterials: Elann's Sock it To Me! Esprit (Less than one ball.. WAY less. lol. This lil thing took hardly no yarn at all!) or similar sock yarn
Set of DPNs.. I used size 4.
Gauge: 30sts to 4in
I cast on 26 sts and spread them among for of my DPNs.. then join the round and knit in K1P1 rib until the length reaches 3 and 3/4ths of an inch. Bind off using the 3 needle bind off. And you now have an Ipod Nano sock!
Course all that is super simple and could be modified extensively.. different ribbing patterns.. different colors or striped yarn.. There are a ton of possibilities as this is such a tiny project. The Esprit yarn is great for this since it is so SPRINGY and it hugs the Ipod nicely without getting any holes.
I think I may reknit mine though using 24 sts so I can do two by two rib after a little bit of k1p1.. I think it might look cuter that way.. Plus I'm kinda bored.. lol.
...I should probably cast on Aunt Karen's scarf instead.... Ugh.. I dread working with LB Homespun again.. what a bummer : /

YAAY!!!! I'm conflicted about what I should be happiest about! Your little knitted pod case, the pod or the pretty little case! te he

I'm a tiny short woman who loves to knit clothes that actually fit me. I first learned to knit when I was about 10 but I never got beyond knit and purl. I didn't pick up knitting again till about 2 years ago, and now with the help of tons of library books, I'm chugging along and I think I'm pretty darn good : ) I'm married, and love my Australian husband dearly.
