Winter projects

Over the winter I've made a few bits and pieces that I haven't gotten around to putting up here yet. But today is grand final day and my significant other is very much otherwise occupied, so what better time to put a few photos up?
These lacy cable socks aren't as hard as they look- there's no cabling at all, it's just an 8-row repeating lace pattern. I found it in a book called "Knitting 24/7" by Veronik Avery which has some great contemporary projects that you can knit without thinking too much.

Berni and I tried 'knitting in transit' on the train for the first time and I took these along with a photocopy of the lace diagram - I'm not quite ready to memorise lace patterns yet, but at least I didn't get train-sick.



Here's my phone pouch..



... and an ipod pod

yikes! i don't care what you say, those socks look difficult! Are you gonna be the cooky knitting aunt?! ;)

I love the iphone pouch too. They are the perfect hand made touch that those phones need i reckon.
