Knitted sari silk iPod Nano pouch

Several friends and relatives received 3rd generation iPods this past holiday season. I decided to try my hand at making some beautiful but practical pouches for them, especially since one of my buddies almost lost his. This one isn't his style, but it might be yours.

When knitting in recycled sari silk, I never know how something will turn out, the texture of the yarn is different from skein to skein, even within the same skein. It's exciting for me to work with. This hangs about 12 inches from your neck to the top of the pouch. The pouch is 3 inches long and 2.5 inches wide, with a rounded flap that is two inches long. The bag is unlined. The flap is embellished with seed beads and closes with a shell bead in turquoise and white.

Don't have a nano? No problem, this pouch can carry your lip balm and credit card instead.
