My dear wife gave me a Nook for Christmas. (No… that isn’t something dirty. See this link if you don’t know what a Nook is! Don’t worry, the link is family appropriate!)
Anyhow, the poor little guy has spent the last month clothes-less. Nook cases are expensive and my first attempt at creating a felted one failed miserably. (Actually, it turned out great, it just didn’t felt down small enough to use for the Nookster.)
Attempt number two, however, turned out exactly how I wanted it to.
For those who care about these things, here are the details:
- Needles: US6 DPNs
- 50 stitches cast on in the round, bottom was whip stitched rather than kitchenered
- The cables are 3-stitch cables (1 cable row followed by 3 knit rows, repeated)
- The flap is seed stitch
- Yarn: Filatura Di Crosa Fancy by Aliseo (75% Wool, 15% Alpaca, 10% Acrylic)
- Color: 11
- Buttons: Bella Buttons by Dritz (Item #BB402)
Grace and Peace,
`tim
