A good idea gone horribly wrong

I set out with the best intentions of creating a simple little Ipod cozy and apparently something went horribly wrong with its genetic makeup because here's what came out.

It's totally lumpy and misshapen, a horrible, Frankenstein-like thing...I'm sorry, Owen, of course you don't actually have to USE this. All the other kids on the playground will laugh at you.

In retrospect, this merino wool was not the right wool to use for this particular project (but, hey, it was leftover) and I probably should have used smaller needles, and I definitely shouldn't have tried to make that little point at the end of the flap -- I was trying to be fancy but I should have just finished it off straight across. Showoff.

Anyway, pity this poor, ugly thing. Pity me for bringing it into the world. But most of all, pity poor Owen, who will find this in his mailbox in a few days.
