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!

From the leftovers of the My Little Pony yarn I made a little sleeve for my iPhone. Only took like two hours and was very simple!
I casted on 12 st/needle on 4 dpn size eu 2.5, knitted until I had about 1,5 cm left until the whole phone was covered, plus a little bit extra on the bottom. Then I knitted 1,5 cm purl 1, knit 1, next row purl over knit, knit over purl (I don't know this techniques name in english) and then bind off every other st purlwise.
I think the result turned out great!

Looks nice, doesn't it. Here the phone is pulled out a bit, the sleeve is not so short in real life.
Phones also needs something warm for the winter!
Pink and fluffy
Har hunnit med att sticka ett nytt fodral till min iPhone, jag tyckte att jag behövde ett rosa fodral som matchade skalet. Så när jag ramlade över ett jättefint Zauberball garn i Berlin som skulle bli underbart som en näversjal, så passade jag på att sticka ett nytt fodral innan jag börjar med sjalen!
Det blev dragspelsstickning med en liten uddkant i tonande rosa färger!
Som en fluffig, ljuvligt rosa marshmallow passar den min personlighet perfekt!
Puss på er!

Iphone värmare
Idag var jag och hämtade min iPhone, härligt! Fick dock genast ringa telenor efter som det krånglade, fick prata med en väldigt rar tjej som tyvärr kopplade vidare mig till en snorkig surpuppa på iPhonesupporten.
Jag ska spendera kvällen med att hämta hem lite roliga appar!
Jag var helt enkelt tvungen att sticka ett fodral till den, såhär fint blev det!
