Notes

Make the middle size

This yarn is so… sproingy. That’s the only way I can describe it, and I love it!

Eliminated the flap part, and put two-stitch button holes in the middle of each of the cables about an inch from the end. EZ sewn BO.

Did a hard wet block to 15” wide.
Too long by about an inch vertically (making this for a Dell Inspiron 1545, take note) - going to try a light felting job to shorten it. If I mess up, well, I have enough yarn to make another one.

Felting went well - only took about 5 minutes, tops. I don’t know if it was the yarn, or the fact that I was using a non-automatic washing machine (note to self: do all future school-felting at the LYS, where the washing machine is not automatic)
