I’m a crafter in addition to being a knitter (one just kind of follows the other, doesn’t it?). Also, my iPod recently died a sad death, and so I recycled it and bought a new one, which is black and shiny and beautiful and scratches easily and doesn’t fit in my iPod cozy.

So I went to etsy.com to search for a new one. After looking through ~90 options, in my usual fashion I decided that I could do a much better job (mind you, I haven’t tested this theory yet) and sat down and drew up my own design. Then today, as if to reassure me that I had indeed made the correct decision, I stumbled upon this beauty of a blog post (links to the Design*Sponge post via the photo):

Well, I must say. This is quite something, and I want one desperately, and so I’m going to make my iPod cozy in much the same way (I’d kind of started along those lines, but the process is going to change somewhat). I had thought to knit it originally, but I kind of want to do something different, and so the husband and I are taking a trip to the fabric store this weekend to pick up supplies and whatnot.

{Do you want to know my secret guilty pleasure? I love buying thread. Not yarn – thread. I really do.}

At this rate, I’m never going to finish my socks.
