Slightly Lumpy

Stranded iPod Bag

This slightly lumpy object is a combination iPod bag and practice swatch - my first attempt at stranded knitting. Do not examine it too closely. The beautiful wool is Hazelknits Artisan Sock in Rogue plum and green (bottom half) and plum with Terrywinkle (top half). Patterns are from S Hisdal "Digt i masker," Nancy Bush "Folk Knitting in Estonia" and A Starmore's "Book of Fair Isle Knitting" (the three-row peerie at the bottom). I used 2.25 mm bamboo dpn. I knit this inside out to help keep the floats loose, and I did improve as I went along - the plum/periwinkle section is neater & flatter than the green - but I have a long way to go.
