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.
KnittingHelp.com has a really good glossary and lots of video tutorials, if some of the short hand properties above don't make sense.

Got sick of biro ink getting all over the inside of my bag and gradually making everything I own grubby, so I finally made a pencil case. It was loosely inspired by this pattern, but I modified it a whole lot. It's much narrower, longer, has a different number of buttons, and a few other smaller changes.
I think I'll try to knit an ipod case in a similar way, but with even more adjustments, like maybe a pocket or pouch for the earphones. If I manage this, I'll record the pattern in case anyone else wants it.

These are a present that have been made for a couple of weeks now but I forgot to post. They're skeleton gloves, knitted more or less according to this pattern, and then embroidered with white yarn to give the effect of finger bones. I had to adjust the pattern a bit to make them suitable for a full grown fella though, instead of a child.
