A(lmost)FO:PS iPod Cozy

It needs blocking and weaving in of the beginning and end, but if I don't show it now, I never will...what with tomorrow being Monday again and my inability to deal with my camera for more than a couple pictures at a time...

iPod Cozy:
Yarn: Lorna's Laces Layette Dye lot #3244
(left over from a hat I made my niece eons ago. I used all but about 3.5 yards, I like that)
Needles: US 0
Pattern: Snitty's iPod warmer (on sidebar).
Mods: I have a mini. ( Yeah, the one that came out BEFORE the 18 hour battery-life version, lucky lucky me... ) so I only cast on 48 stitches instead of the 52 on US 1s. I also got ummm, a little distracted as I knit it while watching "Lost" via Netflixs last night so I decided to get creative with the ribbing:

You can see the detail a little better in this weirdly colored shot. A little bit of a wave, or something. It was just me playing around with the variations of knits and purls across four stitches over four rows after the 4 * 4 rows of ribbing. Cuz you know, numbers are important. It really is OCD...if I had the money I'd go get myself diagnosed. But after 32 years, do I really need anyone to tell me that I need fixin' or anything??? Prob'ly not.

So, there's one project for Project Spectrum July.

Congratulations on having a PS project done already for July! I may not end up with one this month. I really think the wave is the best part. It makes it more interesting. You should make a sock pattern from the wave.
