Yes, the slightly misshapen object below is a “necklace” for my iPod shuffle, based on Kristi’s Nano Necklace. All the lumpy lopsidedness is my own doing – Kristi’s Nano Necklace is gorgeous! What I needed was something to hold my shuffle while I walk around the Lakes this spring and what I got is very functional for that purpose. It was knit flat on an Addi Turbo 2mm for the body and Inox steel 1.75mm for the i-cord. The yarn is Regia Cotton Jacquard leftover from the first pair of fingering weight socks I ever knit (awwwww…..).
Moving right along to Project Spectrum’s April colors of yellow and orange, Peeve started things out right by sending me this fabulous color appropriate card:
I didn’t think I had much yellow and orange around and feared I would be reduced to taking pictures of the lemon dish soap and the Saran Wrap box. However, I did find a few things. Here’s a little cat sculpture that usually sits way up high, out of Chaos’ reach:
And here’s most of the yellow and orange media I found. Heck, there’s even some yellow in the upholstery on my futon couch that I hadn’t really noticed before:
Dear Chaos,
I’m glad you have generally decent sniffer sense, however, don’t you know that sequels are never as good as originals? Tell your human to go find the original Shannon Olson book for you to sniff.
Yours,
A friend with dogs
Ha! His little book sniffing-crossed eyes are the best. Tell Chaos he made me smile at 6:12 am – not an easy thing to do…
I’ve got that same Wine for Dummies book… though now that I think of it I have no idea where I put it last. Darn
Chris – great pictures. I love that postcard! Perfect…….with Chaos right there in the middle!
And thanks for the link to the Nano cover. I think my IPOD mini needs one of them there things………(can you tell I’ve been in the country, or whatnot?)
Your Shuffle Necklace is great! I like the stripey effect of that yarn.
I thought Yellow and Orange was going to be rough aside from DH and I’s love of orange/rust clothing, but I’m finding much more of that than I would have thought!
I’ve really enjoyed how Project Spectrum has made me look for specific colors. Last month I felt surrounded by red and pink. This month I feel the same way about yellow and orange. It’s so cool!
Wow, the Chaos Booker Sniffer Prize is very prestigious! I guess I’ll need to get that book right away.
nice Nano cover!
… now I’m wondering how I can become such a prestigious author.
Love the cat sculpture! – and very nice shuffle cozy – I knitted a sleeve for my iPod awhile back, too!
A shuffle cozy! I’ve got to get right on that. I like the look of yours!
I didn’t think I had much yellow or orange round the house but now I’ve seen your entry, I realise that there is lots of it!
Chaos looks very curious today!
Another Steinlen print! Love it!!!
Hey! I have that schoolhouse rock CD. Love it. 🙂
You should let Chaos choose your reading for a month & see what happens. Perhaps he’s really an erudite medieval scholar trapped in the body of a cat. 😉
Ooh, yeah, I should go find all my yellow and orange things… I have bright orange yarn for a hat that I want to start next.
Lovely card! Tell Chaos to come over here and sniff out what I should make for dinner tonight, what movie Hoop and I should watch, and what clothes I should wear tomorrow. 😉
Now there’s a scary thought, letting Chaos choose your reading material. I like that cat sculpture and the iPod necklace.
Ha, ha! Great pic of Chaos, sniffing away at the books!
Thanks for posting that link to the Nano-Necklace. I just got one for the b-day, was experimenting how to manuever the thing around, and bam! that is just PERFECT.
I think a lot of people are finding the same thing – lots of yellow and they never noticed it before… I think it is just because it is a great complementary color. Thanks for showing some of the colors in your world! Chaos is a very literate cat! 🙂
if i were spectruming, i’d have to take pics of my saran wrap! good thing i didn’t join. the big question is if you’re going to knit anything with orange or yellow in it?
Hey…I was looking forward to the Saran Wrap 🙂
Most of the yellow in chez shannon is part of a kid toy. I’m going to have to go on a camera/yellow scavenger hunt.
today i wore my bright yellow rain slicker (or as we say in new england, my slickah) and paid for parking by taking money out of my orange wallet. it is pretty cool though the way each month’s colors make you notice the color in your world even when you didn’t think you had any.
I totally need an iPod necklace! Mine is always being mangled on the bus when it is in my bag. I’ll have to find some ORANGE yarn for PSum…
I want a nano necklace!
Chaos is so funny! Mine do the same. I should take pictures of them… Strange concept.
I love the ceramic cat! Where did you get that?
I didn’t join Project Spectrum because I knew I didn’t have enough orange and yellow and red to get it all done. You’re scoffing, but it’s true.
Chaos gives you the same sort of looks my cats give me when I take knitting photos. “What the hell is she up to NOW? Can’t she see it would be wiser to just feed the cats?”
Chaos is too funny! I love how inquisitive he is!
I love your nano pendant. What a great idea!
The Shuffle Tote is darling. Now I must have one, I usually just stick mine in my pocket and try not to swing my arms to broadly when I walk…
Pretty kitties ;o) Chaos of course, and the colorful sculpture! Great pictures ;o)
