Quick Manos scarf

I needed a quick gift project and was looking for an excuse to use some nice yarn, so this what I came up with.

Ipod Tube Sock

Here is my first attempt at a pattern for an ipod cozy. I made this out of some 100% mercerized cotton yarn, which knits up to look like the fanciest tube sock ever. Since the yarn was a little stiff, i washed the cozy after it was complete, and it softened right up. I think this pattern would also work well with self-patterning sock yarn.

King's Cozy

I designed this beer cozy on the car ride home from a camping trip in King's Canyon National Park. This pattern has a cable going up opposite sides of the beer cozy, with ribbing in between. The cables make a nice cushiony grip while holding a beer, and the ribbing allows it to stretch to fit. There is a surprisingly small number of decreases between the body and neck and of the cozy. This pattern is made with yarn that I happened to have, but many other substitutions could be used. The cotton works pretty well, and doesn't really get wet like you might expect it would.
