Bookish Crochet: ereader cover
I’ve made an ereader sleeve in crochet before (you can check my post here), but with wool, not very comfortable for Summer, so I decided to make another one in cotton.
Recently, I was looking at patterns for wash or dish cloths (a good way to reduced plastic at home, just make sure the yarn is 100% cotton) and found the Cottage pattern by Sarah from Rich Textures Crochet on YouTube. It’s an easy and quick, but beautiful pattern that uses a puff stitch, giving some padding to the ereader. You can make it in a square or rectangle and any size, you’ll just need the foundation cord to be a multiple of 3 + 2. Check Sarah’s video, she guides you through the whole process and if you prefer written patterns, you can go to Sarah’s website here.
So, I thought if I made two, then I could stitch them together and had a sleeve for the ereader.
It fits perfectly, but I probably should have made one or two more rows so I could sew a button. I can still add a strap if I feel it needs it, but for now the ereader doesn’t come off by its own. Sarah adds a stunning border with a picot, but I thought I would sew them with a simple crochet.

Bookish crochet
One of my favourite crochet things to do is a granny square, I thing they are really versatile. They are quick to make, and then you can joined them together in what form you want. One can make a cover for a mobile phone, using a thicker yarn we can make a cover for a tablet, or a paper book cover.
But sometimes, at the end of the day, one is a little bit tired to follow a more complex pattern, so recently I try a more simple approach: making a chain with the wanted size, and then making double crochets on the back loop of the previous row, which gives it some texture.
I’ve tried fingerless gloves, a sleeve for an ereader, and a sleeve for books or notebooks to which I added a pocket. And it’s really simple: you just need to know how to make a chain, a double crochet, and a simple crochet (to join it).

CW: Book review and mild promo?!
@bookishbrews I’m thinking I should have you review and/or set up an interview related to my novel The Erenwine Agenda prior to my reissuing it under my new (post divorce) name, and also have you review Otter Coast prior to its publication. Those are novels 1 and 2 in my trilogy (it’s the 3rd one I’m first drafting in Nanowrimo now). The trilogy is ecofiction and has mixed race characters (mixed Desi, mixed First Nations). And other race related themes that I won’t say because they would be book spoilers! Lmk how this works. E-mail [email protected] if preferred. Also tagging @ecofiction as I am interested in having you review these as well from an earth based ecofiction perspective.
And thanks!

It's a small thing, but I want to wean myself off my Kindle and start buying ebooks through Kobo instead. Problem is a lot of my favs are in KU. So what is your comfort read that is on Kobo?
(I read romance of all stripes, with a special love for intrinsically good characters and fantasy settings. Self-recs welcome!)

This week's #JukeboxFridayNight theme - #BookishBeats - is made for me! Here's one I've long loved.
She spoke in dialect I could not understand
But one thing that she made clear
There was no coming on to her
There was no intellect
That she could respect
If it couldn't see
That the girl just wants to be
