Reversal Scarf

I made this for a good friend of mine with Baby Clouds yarn. I used size 10.5 needles, and started with 8 thick blue stripes with thin yellow ones, switching to 8 thick yellow stripes and thin blue ones in the middle, reversing back to 8 more thick blue ones at the end. When the giftee sends me a picture of her in it, I shall replace this doofy one of me with one of her:

Yellow Cables

I did my first cabling project last week. It's made out of 100% merino wool. The pattern is in Stitch N' Bitch Nation, it's the Simple Cable Hat, but I added a few extra rows of cables to make it fit over my ears:



I don't think orange is my color, but here I am modeling it anyway:



I enjoy working with cables. I think I am going to make the same hat in a different color with ribbing a bit longer so I can fold it up.

Red and Green Elf Scarf

I used Caron Simply Soft worsted weight Dark Moss and Autumn, 2 skeins each. 16" circular needle, size 8, CO 60 stitches, work 10 rows of each color, alternating until you have 42 rows. Sew up each end.

iPod Technocozy

I made the iPod Technocozy from Stitch N' Bitch: The Knitter's Handbook, the pattern is in there. Great book.

I used size 6 needles with Lily Sugar N' Cream worsted weight: Hot Orange, Sage Green, and Warm Brown.



I'm not too crazy about the pattern. I think with some modifications, it could be really good. There's a headphone port the pattern puts in the top:



I am going to make another one, take out that headphone port, and I think it will come out a bit better.
