Kindle Cozy

So, of course, my new kindle needs a knitted cozy. I could order one of the leather protective covers, and I may in the end, depending on how this turns out.
The yarn I chose for this project is Madil Yarns Crystal. It's a combo of wool, nylon and something else, a light blue color. There are little strands of silver thread through it, which makes it a little prickly to knit with. I started with a knitted cast on, but only got as far as the second row.
I would love to work on it this weekend, as I took Kindle to work to today. I kept it secure in my date book, but I'd like to protect it while it's in transit.
I will also need to get a little clipped light for it. I like this Verso clip-on light from Amazon. In low light it's a little difficult to read. For now, I'm using my craft Ott Light.
I sent some more patterns to it from my gmail account, and it's free of charge to do so. I sent the cozy pattern to it and it's awesome! If you type "convert" in the subject field, the pattern will be converted to display in a way that's best to view all the content on the page, without it being too small. It's handling the images well. If you have the 3G version of the Kindle, you can get around the document charge by typing the word "free" before kindle.com. For example: jenferkel@free.kindle.com.

Here is the pattern for the cozy:   Kindle Cozy

If you're not on Ravelry, you might not be able to view the pattern. I'll post a picture when I get further along. Wish me luck!
