Laptop Cover


I got some yarn from a friend's mother about a year ago.  She wasn't going to use it for anything, so she thought I might like it.  Sure, I'll think of something to do with it.   Let me know if you need anything. 

  About 6 months later the same friend called in that favor.  He had been using the sheet of packing foam to protect his laptop and it had finally torn itself to pieces.  Would I be willing to make him a cover for his laptop.  

  Sure, why not.  

  This, like so many of my projects had a few false starts.  In the end, it was Edward's suggestion that worked, start with a center core and work outward,  Most of the yarn I used was yarn that his mom had given me, some was yarn left over from other projects.  In the end, I simply folded the strip short of half way, sewed the sides and made a flap.  The laptop slips in and out nicely.  

  Both Son and Mom just love it.
