Vacation Swap Bingo

June 26th, 2007 by monnibo | Swap, WIP

Congratulations Amy T., who won the first round of Virtual Vacation Swap Bingo. I was so bummed though! Look at my card… I almost had a vertical line.

But I’m pretty excited for Round 2 of Bingo. We are aiming for a BLACKOUT, that’s when all the squares on the card have been called/covered. I’ve picked some new locations (as the list was updated and hopefully complete)… But I’m not showing my Round 2 card yet! Maybe at the end, for now it’s a secret!

What did everyone else’s Bingo Cards look like?

So the iPod Nano Sock is going okay. I’ve cast on 12sts… but I’m always get anxious about the ends, I’m so bad at weaving them in. Knitters – any suggestions? Also, unlike a dishcloth, the NanoSock is much too small to knit a pattern into it. Any suggestions for how I can make it more interesting? I was thinking of just using an embroidery needle and stitching a little symbol or something in.

Also – I posted this on the Knitters Review Forum, but, if any knitters have/know of a sock-booties pattern similar to my existing (dying/dirty) booties, I would be eternally grateful.

    Here ya go- quite similar to yours. I made these and felted them and they turned out wonderful! (I did seed stitch for the top since it was my favorite stitch at the time.

    I love the card you did for BINGO- I’m not creative enough to do that. How did you do that- is it easy?

    I was not even close, plus I had a state down that had no vacationer. Silly me, I thought we had someone from Nebraska, so I had a dead spot!

    I didn’t get my card in in time for round 1 of Bingo. But I’m all set for round two!

    As for the Nano Sock, I think embroidering a design on it is a great idea. I too made a home for my iPod – I went a bit nuts on it, actually: http://toknitisdivine.ca/2007/02/nano-knitting/ and http://toknitisdivine.ca/2007/02/secret-pals/

    As for weaving in ends, I find I get the best results by doing a duplicate stitch on the wrong side for a several stitches. Here’s an explanation: http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEfall04/FEATfall04TT.html
