A birthday present. The third scarf in a set of three, for three sisters. The other two scarves were pink and purple.

A pink stripey scarf, very similar to this purple one. There is a blue one yet to come too, which is about half way finished now.

A pencil case for my pal Vineta. I asked her what colour she wanted, and she basically said I should surprize her. So I picked this nice gray/silver mix. Hopefully she’ll like it.

This is a scarf I finally finished a few days ago. It’ll be a present for one of my friends, I have someone in mind for it already. I’m planning to make a blue one and a pink one in the same way. Actually the pink version is already started. I was looking through my stash of wool and discovered that, I have too many scraps laying around, and it's time to put them to good use.

It’s such a dull lightless day here today, I had a lot of difficulty trying to show the colours of this thing! I fiddled around with the saturation for these photographs, but there is no substitute for a bit of proper sunshine.

Ah hurrah, I’ve finally made one of these! I’ve been trying to make one for some time, but all the patterns I could find were for the bigger ipods. I’m going to try to add a small pocket to the front to put the head phones in, but for now here is the pattern without a pocket.
