Well, it's finished. It's been washed (took three washes to get all the oil out of it) - the water for the first two washes was very cloudy and a light aqua. Had a bit of a fishy taint as well.
It's now drying, but tomorrow I'm off to Lichfield for a bit, so I'll take and post photos of it when I get back.
I was going to post a photo of the knit side of it early in the knitting so you could see the colour difference pre-washing, but I changed my mind - I'll include it with the post-washing photo's.
See you when I get back.

A couple of the photos that I said I'd post. . .
Well, finally. It took 6 tries to get these photos on here. I had to ditch the back views. Oh well.
This first one is the right side of my new MP3 holder.
The thread is two skeins of DMC "craft thread" (that's what was on the band of the skeins) in 10 different shades of variegated thread.
The stitch is linen stitch - according to The Readers Digest Complete Guide to needlework.
I think it's very nice and fun.
But . . .
This is the inside out view of the front.
I like it much better, hence the "in use" photo. That's the cord of the headphones sticking out.
Maybe I'll have better luck with posting photos in the next entry. *sigh*.
Until then. . .
