Clever Kindle Cases

I love the idea of hand-carded, then hand-drop-spindled, then hand-knit cases for the Kindle. We used to go on farm tours (yes, small town life) where we'd watch women at spinning wheels with angora bunnies on their laps, spinning their fur immediately into yarn. (The rabbits looked every bit as happy as a cuddly cat on a kind reader's lap.)

But, until I track down some of that yarn, here's a nifty sewing idea:



Click the above image for a link to how to make this Patchwork Kindle Case. It's not hard! It's got instructions like my favorite recipes. (Pasta: egg+flour+water+combine+flatten+cut+boil.)

I'm amazed these aren't at the Brooklyn Flea yet.

More soon.

Maybe I will knit a cover for the Nook I don't have yet.

It's sort of the "Build it they will come" theory in practice.
