My Friendly, Friendly Device

I have this adapter which allows me to talk on my phone using any normal headphones. It has a mic and a volume control, and a button that answers the phone. It's a great iPhone accessory. Unfortunately, it's a bit shabbily put together, and the wires started to pull out down near the jack that goes into the phone, so I had to repair it with electrical tape. To hide the repair and to protect the tape from coming off, I knit this cable cozy, which I think wonderfully compliments my cork cell phone case.

Lemony, Non-Scratchy Cabled Scarf

The first scarf I made for Vigo this year failed for reasons of itchiness, so I made him another scarf, in his favorite color. Unfortunately, his favorite color has changed from yellow to fluorescent green in the time it's taken me to knit the scarf. But actually, I'm happy enough not to have been working with eyeball-abusing fluorescent colors this time.

The scarf has three cables on one side and two on the other, so it's not all cabled and pretty on one side and ugly on the other. I really feel like scarves should always be pretty on both sides. It's a big gripe I have with cabled scarf patterns.
