simple project & new skills.....

 Moving along with my knitting...

This simple little project has taught me two new skills

- knitting in the round with dpns (double pointed needle set)

& grafting using Kitchener stitch.

 as you can see it is a little iPod sock :)

knitting socks is high on my to do list

so learning these two skills is a must!

This was a great project to tackle both,

and get some practice in,
without the fear of messing up a bigger project, while learning.

I used Jillian Neary's pattern

iPod Sock which can be found on Ravlery Here
and when it came to learning the Kitchener stitch
I used this great YouTube by
Very Pink Knits which can be found Here 

I used Cleckheaton Merino Bambino 4 ply (about 1/4 of a ball)
and a set of 4 - 2.75 mm (US size 2) dpns

Have a great day
