Nintendo DS Case

My guy needed a case for his DS so that it didn't get too banged up when it wasn't in use. So he asked me if I could make him one.

I tired a few patterns I found online but they didn't turn out that great. I ended up just winging it. Luckily it worked out fairly good so I made one for myself as well. Mine is plum but I haven't taken a photo yet. Everything but the color is the same. I used a recycled cotton yarn I found on sale at Wal Mart.

This was made with single and half double crochet stitches. Then for the little fastener tab it was all single stitch. As you can see I finished it off with a penguin button.


I think it turned nicely.

A small introduction

I needed somewhere to post about my tiny addiction to playing with yarn. Since I don't share my personal blog with many people I figured it couldn't hurt to have one just for this. Perhaps a few other things will trickle into here.

Mainly I try to crochet but I'm also trying to re-learn how to knit. Try being the operative word. I have a yarn stash that's slowly taking over the closet of the spare bedroom of my house, my family is planning an intervention. Slowly I'm starting to finish the projects I start.
