Tardis ipod cover

My daughter loves everything to do with Dr Who and David Tennant. She is not easily motivated to pick up the knitting needles, but this weekend she was keen to knit a Tardis cover for her ipod Nano.

It is knitted in 4-ply and fits her ipod quite snugly.

The 'light' on top doubles as a button to close the top securely.

I have spent the Christmas break using up some of my wool stash by making stripey jumpers for toddlers. They are knitted from sleeve to sleeve, creating vertical stripes.














I have found two new knitting charities for my jumpers:

Algerian Action
and
Project Peru

More illusion knitting ...

Here is a little shoulder bag, lined with cotton, which is for sale in my etsy shop.

A hidden image, created by ridges in stocking stitch!

So it was time to try it for myself! Here is the stripey cloth:


And here is the hidden image:
