A laptop case for my soon-to-be mac :)

In about Easter I started on a little bigger project of mine, so far I have only made small and easy things. I am going to buy a macbook, so then I need a cover for it so I can bring to my classes without it getting scratched. I found this awesome receipie. I followed those instructions. Apparently my stitches i a bit long so, I did not need to knit as many after the pattern, as you might see on my pictures.

I like purple, so my felted laptop case is mainly in purple with semi white apples. It is knitted on very big needles… Pictures below :)

It is lined with ordinary cotton fabrick, and a long zipper (no need for fancy zipper with exact measurements, as it was very hard finding a 92 cm long zipper, I bough a meter from a big roll of zipper band). It was a bit hard to sew on the fabrick and the zipper at the top of my case, because the felted bit was very thick there…

But overall I am pretty happy with this one. Of course it look homemade with some mistakes here and there, but it suits my needs and look ok :)
