I mentioned quickly that I was going to knit my husband an sock for his iPod. Chris asked “Does it need to be manly?”. Well my first color choice was red, for Valentine’s Day, but then I thought a blue would be better. I wanted to knit the sock in the round. I used the toe up method but it came out too big. Ok, now it’s actually Valentine’s day and I was left to with the old “seam up the folded rectangle” method. I finally finished it as the "Best in Show" dog was being selected at the Westminster Dog Show. Now that’s cutting close.
Details:
Pattern: 2x2 rib: cast on 32, knit until twice desired length, bind-off, and seam up sides.
Yarn: Koigu KPPPM in a silver blue combo P409D66
Needles: Bryspun DPNS in size 3

1 – Although Koigu is tiny the knitting went quickly. The sock is so soft and very nice to the touch. I need to find another project using Koigu!
2 – The sock used approximately 20-25 grams (just under half a skein). Sadly, judging by this knit, if I ever made a pair of real socks out of Koigu I would need 3 skeins. Now that's a pricey pair of socks!
3 – Surprisingly, this looks like it needs to be blocked. It looks quite rumpled!
