Creeper iPod Cover

 
 sssssssssssssssss BOOM!
At the moment I am completely obsessed with Minecraft and I was inspired by the unhappy looking exploding mob to make this simple iPod cover (i don't do complex things ;) )

Pattern: 
Cast on 30 stitches on 4-6mm needles (again it depends on the wool) and knit in pearl and plain until it is the size required to fit whatever version of iPod it is for.
For the face detail use a black/dark grey wool and either cross stitch or long stitch the details on. sew up the sided and the bottom and you have a friendly creeper pal to protect your iPod.

Crochet Headband

This is a really simple but pretty headband that was simple and quick to make. This was my first attempt at making something using crochet after learning some simple crochet techniques earlier in the week.
The band is simple chain stitch and the flower is made using a double crochet technique on a size 8 needle and chunky yarn I finished it by sewing a large grey bead in the middle.
