Sweet...

A new gadget and I have to wonder how it will change and/or improve my current process of knitting/crochet, photography and blogging. Getting what I asked for on my B’day was very exciting and yes, I’ve wanted the IPad for sometime now, and now that I have it, I’ve a learning curve to climb.  Like all of the new tech items I’ve added to my bag of tools, the time it takes to research and learn the ‘how tos’ seems to take eons.  And then, tada, I get it and think how did I ever live without… Since I’m in the infancy stage of learning how the IPad will be of benefit, I thought why not create a cute cozy for it? 
I found this great crochet pattern from Olivia over on gingerschatz. I pulled out a skein of RDWD, Oleander base in the color Time for tea. I'll need to crochet 34 of these little squares.  I'm at about the half way mark. Once finished, I can safely tuck away my IPad and slide it into my purse.  

Stay tuned as I learn more about apps, etc. I’ll share. One quick Google search landed me at Anotherlongyarn, where Zina has done a bit of research on the topic. How about you?  Do you use an iPad? I'd love to hear your thoughts.  Have a great weekend.
