Rifle Cozy... Complete!

I think I may have a touch of something, and shouldn't be wasting time posting about my knitting projects, but I was excited about finishing this guy! I plan to write up the pattern over x-mas break at some point.

Detail of the flap.
The only idea I had for showing the whole thing... it measures 6 inches wide by 40 inches long to fit the rifle specs I got from my Uncle Sonny. Hope Dad likes it.

Gun Sock in prep

I'm going with knitpicks Wool of the Andes for this project. It was economical and beautiful. I swatched a range of stripe variations and simple colorwork before settling on the 1x1 rows of scarlet and gray. I was afraid anything with floats could catch the rifle on the inside of the bag/sock, and there were gaps with bigger stripes. This is nice and simple.

Rifle Cozy

When I can knit again, I have to catch up on Christmas crafting. First on the list, a rifle cozy or "gun sock" for my Dad. See a commercial version available here.

Doesn't that just sound like a delightfully odd thing to knit? I'm thinking scarlet and gray stripes. OK, nobody tell him. He doesn't know about the rifle either.
