Three-quarters-of-a-skoleppar Kindle cover





I had an idea for a bag for a skoleppar shape in rainbow stripes much earlier in the year - leaving off one of the points. Think South American shape, with the point at the bottom completed with a tassel. I abandoned it as I didn't have enough colours for the other side, but the one-sided piece looks set to be folded over into a Kindle cover, as Santa is being very kind to me this year. I can't actually sew it up to make sure it is the right size until Santa has been, but it doesn't look far off!

It's lovely when it's folded as the stripes turn two corners. I have seen lots of Kindle cover pattern on the net already, and it seems to me that if you have the opening at the top, they can all too readily slide out. I will probably sew a little piece of Velcro on for a fastening. I am really pleased not to have wasted those hours knitting!
