Sorry about that. Two months and counting without a post, what a ludicrous way to start a blog huh? Truth is that for a good while there I was too distracted with birthdays, showing off my fabulous town to friends and family, enjoying what it is that makes my town so very fabulous, and uh, wining gigantic beer steins at my local pub quiz, to do any knitting.
Yup, there was no knitting, sorta unheard of around here. Fortunately (and strangely) October brought with it a near constant demand for ipod socks.
These little guys were quick, simple, and totally made me hungry for longer, more complicated projects. Knitting appetizers if you will. So yeah, it’s now almost December and I’ve been making other things that I’m all excited to talk about, but why not start off with what got me back on the couch in the first place?
Yarn: Koigu KPPPM, color #115, way less than 1 ball.
Needles: 2.75mm/US 2
Pattern: Made it up, but in a nutshell:
- C.O. enough sts to stretch around your ipod (should be divisible by both 3 and 2,) join.
- Work in 2×1 seed or broken rib for an inch or so. P 1 round. K until the thing is long enough.
- Divide sts between 2 needles and graft together.
Yarn: Regia Strato Color, also way less than one ball. I’ve no idea what color because I lost the ball band and the internet isn’t helping me out either.
Needles: 2.75mm/US 2
Pattern: This one’s even simpler and more obvious but:
- Magic C.O. enough sts to stretch around your ipod (should be an even number.)
- K around until your sock is an inch too short. Work k1 p1 rib for an inch or so.
- Tubular B.O. all sts.
Такой вопрос назрел к вам… Есть желание создать на своём сайте опросник в сайдбаре. Ну чтобы посетители кликали на один из вариантов ответов, и далее показывалась статискика голосования. Интересно, это можно как-то реализовать на ВордПрессе??? Признаюсь честно, во всяких там скриптах и кодах не силён, хотелось бы какой-нибудь плагин. В Гугле смог найти только нерусифицированные, боюсь что не gjkexbncz разобраться.

Great little ipod socks! Just right to use up small bits of yarn.
