Here we are: the geekiest project thus far:
It's a Tardis Kindle cover! As the project guidelines say, both the Tardis and the Kindle are much bigger on the inside than the outside, after all. If you're a Ravelry person, the pattern is available as a free download here: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/tardis-kindle-case-dr-who
In my last post, I was dreaming about the yarn that was shortly to arrive at my house. It showed up about a half-hour after I posted, and I rolled around in it (metaphorically speaking, mostly) for a while. Then I added it to my Ravelry stash online, and in the process was looking through some projects that others had done with the same yarn. One of those I saw was a Kindle cover, though not this one. I admit, I had never thought of creating such a thing as a Kindle cozie, but this was just kismet.
You see, Dear Husband had just the week earlier stormed around the house in a huge huff, because he found a tiny crack in his new Kindle screen. It's the size of a very, very small bullet hole. Or a cat claw tip, which is a much more likely origin in this household. He has every right to be upset, of course, but part of why he was so mad was because he was putting off buying a cover for it until the next paycheck. Fiscal responsibility bites us all in the end.
I still think he needs a "real" Kindle cover, but thought I'd provide him with a fun alternative in the meantime. Knit it up in two days, and surprised him with it one evening. He loved it, and says he wouldn't mind using it as his full-time cover if I can add a fastener of some variety to it. So I've bought both a zipper and a set of velcro tabs. We'll see which works out best.
