Not proper french, I know, but when I was gifted a snazzy flash new ipod touch by my workplace as part of a company incentive scheme, the lovely new shiny needed a name, and Couchon seems to spring out of nowhere!
Of course I had not had Couchon long before the following things began to happen;
Of course I had not had Couchon long before the following things began to happen;
- I started to realise how fun the touch is
- I started to fall madly into besottment with the Couchon
- I became incredibley protective of la Couchon (which of course led to)
- I cast on for a handknit Couchon Coserie!
Using some of the gloriuos delicious and fabulous Koigu (a miniscule amount from the two skeins I purchased some time ago and STILL have not decided what to do with!) I used Rose Red's fabulous iSock as a model and knit away!
I cast on 40 (too big) then 32 (still too big) and eventually settled on 28 as the perfect stitch circumference to keep the cosy nice and snug around the iTouch.
A three needle bind off at the end to give some structural seamage, and a wee garter stitch strap to fold over with a neat little button! Super handy to keep the earphone cables wrangled too to save the tangle-tastic terror of the knitting bag! Yay!
p.s. Did I mention just HOW in love with Koigu I am..?

Sasha that's a gorgeous coserie!! I've been making some recently to sell at an upcoming fund raising fair... I'll have to photograph them soon and add to my rav page.
Awww, so cute :)
Looks like your iTouch is so comfy in it's new coserie. I knitted one for my iTouch too! Welcome to the world of iTouch - it's great!
