The uexpected prize and the unexpected iPod cosie

I won something for my first ever knitting project. Most unbelievable and really unexpected. I submitted some pictures of my Isabeau Purse to Sylvie of Chez Plum to show her my appreciation for sharing her darling pattern without realising that there was a contest. So it was really surprising to receive an email from her a few days ago informing me to pick any pattern from her site for free as my prize! Since I am loving the purse so much I picked the larger version of it, the Isabeau Tote. Thank you Sylvie for being so kind to think my modest little debut knitting project was worth a prize!

In my previous post I ended off saying that I was going to knit a scarf for my friend Angie who is going to be relocating to Shanghai. I started knitting her scarf yesterday and was quite pleased with how it was beginning to look. This morning Caryne tells me that she found out that Angie doesn't wear scarves or beanies! And I'm not smart enough to knit gloves yet! The dramaz...

I did recall though that the other girls bought her a new iPod so I thought... Ok... I will convert the scarf into a cosie! It fits perfectly! Feelng quite relieved and pleased that it worked out in the end. All that's left is to give this to Angie in all her Babarella glory! The pattern is just a really short version of The Magic Scarf by Laurie Perry The yarn used is Jaeger , Extra Fine Merino DK in Indigo.

So what this means now of course... I need to get back to the crocheted bag.
