I am so ready to do another Knit Along. The last one was a blast!
So, with my own needs in mind I have chosen to do Noni Designs Perfect Fit Laptop Sleeve. Last Thanksgiving I purchased a new, larger laptop. I usually use my little netbook, but the screen is a little small for my bifocaled eyes. I did not purchase a laptop bag when I bought the computer, so I've decided to make one for myself and use this pattern. I've also not really done felting by myself before, so this is a good place to start.
The next problem was to pick a yarn that is good for felted projects. Noni Designs often uses Stonehedge Fiber Mill's Shepherds Wool, which I stock. I love this yarn. It is incredibly soft and I am really looking forward to knitting with it. Now I have to choose a color or colors to work with for this project. It can be done as a solid or with stripes. So much to choose from!
I finally settled on Lime Green and Misty Blue.
I used my swift and ball winder to make the yarn easier to work with.
Wound up and ready to go!
I am very excited to start tis project. I'll start knitting later this tomorrow or Friday. There will be a topic posted on the One Planet Knitters Ravelry Forum so you can join in or follow along.
Regards,
Karen
