Cabled iPad Sleeve (Pattern) « haramis knits As promised, I tinkered with the Kindle sleeve pattern, and now have an iPad version available. I should have anticipated that there would be a demand for the pattern in the first place, as right after I finished my Kindle sleeve, my friend Abbie, also known as The Green Wife, asked if I could make her one for her iPad. If I’d listened to her at the time, I would have had both patterns ready at the same time! Instead, I spent the last couple of days knitting one up for her, this time out of some lovely The Plucky Knitter Superwash Merino Worsted in Love Letters, and I dropped it off at her house yesterday. She sent me some lovely photos of it today, so I can now share the pattern with her photography. I plan to knit a second iPad sleeve out of Malabrigo Worsted for a future giveaway, so please check back! Cabled iPad Sleeve 2 x 2 Left Cross: With a cable needle: Slip two stitches purlwise onto cable needle, hold in front, knit next two stitches, knit the two stitches from the cable needle.

Exchanging Fire My favorite project bag is this lotus-shaped drawstring bag I own. It’s square with some design features that reminds me of Japanese origami, the beautiful art of paper folding. I love the way it folds in on itself like those old fortune teller paper games we used to play in school when we were children. Origami Lotus Project Bag with yarn being knit into a shawl inside of it You’ll need two matching squares of fabric that are roughly 18 inches square and some matching ribbon. First, take the two pieces of complementary fabrics and place the designs facing each other so you see the wrong side. Second, iron your fabric so that it’s easier to work with. Now we’re getting to the folding. Origami Lotus Bag, fig. 1 Your folded flaps should now show only the interior fabric. Origami Lotus Bag, fig. 2 The reason we only sewed up the sides of the bag halfway is because to create that lotus-like appearance, the unsewn flaps need to be folded over the outside of the bag.

Page 18 Elefante The pattern for Elefante is finally here for the taking. This pattern came to be when a knitter emailed me after spying a tiny striped elephant on a shelf in Itty-Bitty Hats on page 18. She wanted to know where to get the pattern. I had no idea where that elephant came from until a friend (thanks Renee) told me about this . I am sure the original is a crocheted toy from this site and boy oh boy, are the other toys available here ever cute. I decided to make a pattern for a knitted version of this little guy and share it with you here.

paper: pretty paper. true stories. {and scrapbooking classes with cupcakes.}: Journal Your Christmas 2011 :: Online Scrapbooking Class My favourite class of the year is very nearly upon us: Journal your Christmas. I would love for you to join me and so many other scrappers in this holiday adventure. Journal your Christmas started from a personal journal I kept just for me, as I tired to rekindle the magic of Christmas in what had otherwise been a rather unglittery time. It worked. I found myself remembering exactly why I loved the holidays and how they could bring hope to the darkest of winters and I realised the magic of Christmas did not belong to children alone. Christmas can be magical at any age, no matter what the circumstances. Journal your Christmas became an online class in 2004, and has continued every December since. What is Journal your Christmas? Each prompt is a full-colour PDF file you can view on your screen (on your computer, iPad, smart phone or anything else that lets you view such files) or print onto paper. How much time do I have to devote to this project? What if I don’t scrapbook?
