A frog for a toad - a knitted and felted iPad sleeve
On request from my boyfriend I knitted and felted a sleeve for his iPad.
I managed to keep it a secret, so schh..don't tell him! It's gonna be a christmasgift for him.
I used Semilla from BC Yarn in two different shades of green. I used 32 grams of each, the sleeve is knitted with asymetric stripes, variating between four, three and two rows of each colour. It's knitted in round, the "lid" is knitted as a triangle, decreasing on each side and then bound of before reaching the tip of triangle. A wooden button keeps it closed.
The sleeve became a bit short after felting it - done by hand with soap and hot water - but with the lid covering the edges it doesn't matter that much.
The name "A frog for a toad" is a wordgame in Swedish - we call the iPad "paddan", that means toad in Swedish, so hence the green colours of the sleeve, this i A frog for a toad".
Here's the result!
The sleeve in whole
Details - I now have my own lable to put on things a knit!
Details - wooden button bought at Tummelisa

Hej! Jag hittade till din blogg när jag googlade på transportväskor för katter. Ber om ursäkt att jag kommenterar såhär på helt fel inlägg, men tänkte att det var bättre att välja ett nytt inlägg :) Jag såg iaf att du hade köpt en sån väska som kan både bäras som ryggsäck och rullas och jag undrar om du skulle kunna dela med dig om ifall du är nöjd med den? Får din katt plats att ligga i den, eller finns det bara plats för att sitta?
Tack på förhand!
Med vänliga hälsningar Emma
