iTARDIS

This weekend I had ambitious knitting plans. Those went completely down the drain after I tried knitting and had to keep frogging. I finally decided to pick up the needles again and knit something quick and satisfying in hopes that it would restore my desire to knit bigger projects. I have a feeling this is something I'm going to have to do when I begin to get discouraged.

Anyway, I was perusing tumblr and came across an iPod cozy. A TARDIS iPod cozy. Did a quick search on Google and Ravelry to find a pattern (also here). I ended up utilizing the pattern as more of a guide line and did my own thing. I used some worsted weight Red Heart yarn in my stash. I used the gauge the pattern suggested (which ended up being 5 DPN size US 2/ 2.75 mm because I knit very tight). There was some splitting and such, but I'd knit this the same way again.

Here's what I did:
CO 40 sts in MC (blue); divided between 4 needles (10 each needle).

I chose not to add the Police Box lettering, but you could embroider that if you wanted.
