Hello everyone, it has been a while, but I have devised a new crochet case for the Ben

If anyone wants one, let me know (perhaps I will have to use another channel, not the main mailing list? ) A case would be 7.95 USD regardless of customization options. I will be reworking the strap and using real buttons in future versions (currently buttons are made of yarn. I will try to give "source code " for the current pattern if anyone wants to try to make a case body: chain as many as your device is wide (in my case it was 15 for Ben Nanonote, case can be adapted for any device) chain an additional 2 hdc in 3rd chain from hook and each chain remaining when you get to last ch, turn and work hdc into OTHER side of chain slip stitch to ch-2 from beggining repeat rounds of hdc until case is as tall as you want finish off;weave in ends (2) strap attach yarn to edge of case where you want ch 3 (counts as dc) dc in next 4 stitches (5 total) ch 3, turn, dc in next 4 dc (repeat until strap is desired length) finish off button(S) ch2 6 sc in 2nd chain from hook 6sc in same chain to overlap first 6 sc finish off obviously this is not all the info you need, but I will release more when I have time. full pattern (when released) will always be free as in free speech. Of course one could "reverse engineer" a case too. -hack well, take care
