Those of you sitting on the cutting edge of technology (ouch) will no doubt be drooling into your keyboards watching adverts for Apple's shiny new iPad. Flying in the faces of those who prattle on about knitting being an art more apt for grannies and people who really should get out more, Lion Brand have released a pattern for a knitted iPad cosy before the product is even released.
The cosy pattern is adjustable too in case the iPad drastically changes in size when it hits the shops, and it's easy enough for even the least knitterly iPad user to stitch up. If anyone does find themselves in a bit of a tangle Lion Brand also have their own iPhone app.
You'll have to sign up to Lion Brand's website to get the iPad cosy pattern. No big hardship as the site has thousands of free knitting patterns to make it worthwhile.
We're sure you can knit it is less eye-aching yarn than the yarn pictured above. Knitting is all about being innovative. The parallels with knitting and Apple are endless.
Not bad for an 132-year old handknitting yarn company, eh? Yes, we're here, we're knitters and we'll have cosy iPads and know how to use them. Be very afraid, stereo-typing craft sneerers.
