What is this? A Kindle Conundrum.



Is this:

1. A zebra transfigured into a water goblet by Ron Weasley during his 3rd year at Hogwarts?

2. One half of a pair of knee socks for a double jointed hockey player?

3. A Kindle slipcover?

If you guessed #3, you have recognized the prototype of a Kindle Kozy, a slip-jacket for your Kindle reader. You slip the Kindle into the jacket and then into a briefcase, tote bag, purse, wherever it needs a little protection from the rest of the contents of the bag and you're off - carrying tons of reading material.

I am working on a more polished version and can make the pattern available if anyone who wishes to knit one.

Here is a very bad scan showing how it looks with the Kindle inserted. It covers the Kindle well without adding too much bulk.

I can figure out the main pattern but I need numbers to start with :D :D

Thanks. I'm working on a much better-looking Kozy and will post the pattern when I've finished it.
