My iPhone Case

Like all of us avid knitters we always have a "left over" yarn stash that we keep just in case there is something small that we knit.  My bin was getting quite large, considering I was also knitting for my Etsy store.  So what to do with all my left over stash?

A few months ago I decided to experiment and knit a nice cable knit phone case.  The reason being is that it didn't take too much yarn to make one, and they're quite quick to knit up.  I could have knit a plain stockinette stitch without the cable, but I find if you have a simple plain yarn it doesn't look as good (variegated or self-striping yarn produces wonderful cases with just a stockinette stitch.  I also wanted to make this case seamless because I just hate seaming!  The less seaming I do at the end the better!  Now I'm the type of knitter that likes to just pick up needles and some yarn and knit, coming up with the pattern as I go.  What I came up with was this :)


This has become a best seller at my store :)

I've also been approached with the pattern - it took me a while to get it out because it was in my head :)

Pattern is available to purchase by clicking the "buy now" button below (sold through Ravelry and is a direct file download)

Mentions on Etsy/Blogs

Hello blogging world!  I have been M.I.A for a bit, been knitting up a storm!  I feel like I'm behind on my knitting, although I think it's just me trying to stress myself out to push me to keep knitting!  My hands are starting to hurt!  I've been busily knitting thurmmed mittens lately and tearing the thrumming is hard on the hands :S  What are thrummed mittens you ask?  Only the warmest mittens EVER!  Click here to find out about thrummed mittens!  I will post my thrummed mitts soon. 

So I've also been busy with my Etsy store - sales are going pretty good so far :D  Over the past few days I've been mentioned in a few lovely treasuries and even been blogged about :D  I thought I would share all these wonderful links here:
