In order to have a chance of finishing 101 goals, some of them must be easy enough to cross off quickly. Turns out knitting cables is even easier than I thought it would be! With some scrap yarn, a scarf pattern that I modified, and about an hour of boredom this evening I made this little iPod cozy, allowing me to cross #62 off the list.
Knitting cozies may make me sound insane, but I usually destroy my headphones by throwing my iPod in my bag along with pens, keys, and many other sharper objects. So rather than just making a swatch to simply learn the stitch patern (which would be no fun really) I learned both cable knitting and seaming in one project.
So with that, the list is starting to pare down! Only 100 items to go...
Very very cool! I'm hoping to learn cables as well; though it's not on my 101 things list. A cozy for my ipod was the second thing I ever knitted (the first was a bookmark). It was originally supposed to be a coin purse, but I got my ipod right afterwards and it fit perfectly. I think that was 4 years ago, and it's still holding up!
