11-Color Stripes

I've got a crazy idea for a phone cozy and an undeniable urge to knit stripes, so I'm killing two birds with one stone. I have 11 colors of cotton yarn, and I'm using them all.

Love this post? Share the love!

Now you've got me wanting a cell phone after all, just so I can make a cosy. I asked my husband if he wanted a cosy for his phone. He said no.

UK lass in US ... You could make a makeup bag, change purse ... no need to shell out for a phone. :)

I love the colours! Can't wait to see it finished...you really, really make me feel like going out to buy a Crochet for Dummies book and begin learning myself, Alice. I enjoy reading your blog :)

Since I don't knit, I really appreciate the close-up shots. I love the way it all connects, so seemless....
And since it is more in the pastel range, it doesn't have that saturated rainbow effect; which I think is currently overused ("trending").
Love it, love it, love it :)

Wow, I had no idea you were so fond of weaving in ends!

Just kidding (sort of). It's really cute.

kingshearte ... I wasn't really thinking about that when I started. But I've since figured out a way to get rid of the ends completely (but that is for a later post).

Love the colors! I don't envy you weaving in those ends, though.. I always hate that part.
Your stitches are beautiful and even - I think you are also a knitting badass... :D

futuregirl replied ...

nancymoo ... Ha! I've actually come up with a great way to deal with all the ends (but that's for a later post).

Nice! All the ends are acking me out. Yes, I made up some weird word because my mind can not think of the one I want to use right now. :D
