I swear it was unintentional
I'm about to leave my apartment to run some errands, and I just put on a sweater and reached for my nano. The sweater I put on is turquoisey-blue, so my nano and I are totally wearing matching outfits.
For a second I was horrified, but then I realized this is AWESOME. I guess now I'll have to knit nano-sized versions of everything in my wardrobe.

My First Nano Sweater!
Note: I wrote this last night, but Blogger wouldn't let me publish it until just now.
I finally found a few minutes to finish the nano sweater tonight! Call it an iPod cozy if you must, but I prefer to think of it as a nano sweater. I don't want to be a cozy knitter, okay? Other people can make all the "cozies" they want, but cozies aren't for me.
I mean, really, does an iPod need a cozy? NO. Does an iPod need a sweater? YES.
What could be inside that tiny, charming, swimming-pool blue sweater?
My nano!
(I put an image of a cute little animal face in my nano's image folder just for moments like this. I think the backlight had turned off by the time I took the photo, though, because it's usually a lot brighter.)
Considering that I knitted this without a pattern, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. The sweater could use a button so it stays closed on its own, but for now, I'll just wrap the cord from the headphones around the outside whenever I put it in my bag.

Nano update
I LOVE MY NANO. Since this is my first iPod, I am completely obsessed with how the shuffle feature gives my life a soundtrack as I walk the streets. I love when I notice strange synchronicities between random song lyrics and the things that happen in my day.
I haven't made my nano a sweater yet, but yesterday, I spent $20 on some tiny knitting needles and a ball of yarn the color of a swimming pool. I told the lady in the store that I mostly bought my nano because I want to knit it little outfits (the MP3-playing capabilities were just an added bonus), and she acted like she completely understood.
The photo at the right is the view out the front window of Downtown Yarns. If I remember correctly, it's located on Ave. A, near 3rd or 4th St.

Giant Robot NYC
Yesterday I went to Giant Robot's New York store for the first time. It was okay, but I like the one in L.A. better. This one is tiny and cute, but it felt overwhelmed by the utter hipness of its east village location. The one in L.A. feels more like a destination (especially since that one is right by GR2, and you can go to two Giant Robot stores in one trip).
