How was the Customisable Gadget Case conceived?

For Christmas, JS asked me to knit him a laptop case. He had two criteria:

  1. He wanted it to have ribbing (I was impressed that he even knew what this was).
  2. He wanted an Apple logo on it.

I went off to Zambia with this in my thoughts, and knit the entire case while I was away. I was basically doing some trial and error; and I came up with the original. I didn’t want to do normal ribbing, so I did mistake rib-stitch, as I prefer this in terms of keeping my interest while knitting for a long time.

When I returned from Zambia, JS suggested that I write the pattern down and share it with all of my readers. I decided this was a fantastic idea, and wrote down the pattern, which I had recorded while I was away in case I made any mistakes. With the pattern written, I wanted to try something different; after all, I had made JS a laptop case, I didn’t really want one, but I wanted to knit something else.

The Customisable Gadget Case was born as a result of this. We are an engineer (me) and a mathematician (JS), and we sat down for a night and worked on the maths. It took an entire six weeks to get this right – with test-knitters and trial and error (I ended up knitting five iPhone cases before I was happy!)

Where can I get the Customisable Gadget Case?

I’ve now published the pattern on Ravelry. It’s free. I used to sell it, but to be honest, I now don’t know how I ever justified this to myself…so you can just click, download, put your data in and get knitting!

I loved making it, I learned a heck of a lot, and I love the pattern. There will be more of these in the future!

Much love,

Corrie xx
