Starts and Fits
Like Terhi, I've been knitting a lot of blue things lately. Or trying anyway. Here's my first Rib and Cable sock, ready for kitchenering. I get pretty anxious about grafting, but Christine has offered some help. Thanks for the tips!
I started this last weekend. I'm calling her Nell, because she's a little version of the Lady Eleanor Entrelac Stole from Scarf Style. But she's too wide -- I have only 5 skeins of this Karaoke, so it would be the shortest scarf ever. Do-over! (Aside to Olga: I still want to start another Scarf Style project, if you're still game!) 
This is my second attempt at toe-up Jaywalkers with Regia 4 Color. This time I decided to try the Turkish cast-on. Do I feel clever or what? Thanks Deb, for the awesome tutorial! My gauge is a little too tight, but I think I'll just make the larger size and see how it goes. I can't bear to frog this beautiful toe. There's another something blue on Affiknitty Patterns -- my iPod cozy with full details.

love nell! looks so pretty with those deep kareoke colors! the cable socks are great! should keep ya warm :)
Really fab sock! And now I'm off to check out the iPod cozy--and send the link to my sis. She got an iPod for Christmas and all holiday we talked about how she should knit a cover! :)
Nell is awesome! I have 5 balls of Karoake that I was planning to do the same thing with. How wide do you think it should be? You write that it's too wide.
That really is a beautiful toe. And you've inspired me to post about my ipod cozy, which I made about a year ago but that was pre-blog.
Is that rib and cable sock from the IK web patterns? I think I remember you talking about it before, but couldn't find the post. I also think I have it printed out somewhere . . .
All the blue is lovely! And thanks for the iPod pattern -- mine is in need of some protection, what with curious little helpers always wanting to see how it works.
All your blues are beautiful! Nell is looking great – I've been wanting to try entrelac for a while now, but it just looks so complicated.
Love the iPod pattern. Will be making one for me and one for Mr KA soon. Will post pics once complete
Your entrelac is so pretty. I've never tried it but I love the way it looks. Great colors too. Gotta check out your ipod cozy pattern. I got my DH a nano for making his walking goal for 2005 (2500 miles!). It's so tiny though; it definitely needs a cozy.
Wow, you have a lot of lovely projects going on right now. I have three cave man words for Nell: "Me want now!" Maybe you could turn her into a clutch/tote or the front side of a pillow? Or just do over like you were planning to do anyway :) (sorry, my little sad procrastinating frogging issues belong to me alone, hee hee).
Ooh, entrelac. I'm sorry to hear that Nell will be frogged. I like to look at entrelac although I haven't tried it yet.
oooh Entrelac - I've gotta try me some of that!
