Roli Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 One of the main problems with my Nook has been that my hands get cramped from holding it upright while I am reading in bed. So this was a very nice little object and it was pretty to boot. A little pyramid rises from a flat pillow that has a channel to hold your book or Nook. The pyramid props it up and an attached bookmark can keep your place if you are reading a book. The pattern is intermediate difficulty and uses one skein of Red Heart Super Saver. Find it on my blog here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chrissyf Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 that is awesome! I needed this a few years ago when i had elbow surgery. I may have to try it out since i think i am probably going to need surgery on the other arm very soon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jimbo Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Very clever, Roli. I've considered the problem but of course, my solution would have involved two-by-fours. I'm sure yours is much more comfy. heh Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Peggy85225 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I have been looking for something like this but affordable. I will definitely be making at least one of these. Thank you so much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
webpen Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 What a great idea! Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
funnymom8 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 I love this, thanks for sharing it!! I don't have a reader but my daughters do, this would make a great birthday gift ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Roli Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 Very clever, Roli. I've considered the problem but of course, my solution would have involved two-by-fours. I'm sure yours is much more comfy. heh Comfy it is Jimbo! Although the 2 X 4 idea might work for your flat-screen TV! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Roli Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 Thank you one and all for your comments. I had a request for an ipad holder so I am going back to the drawing board to see if I can make this a bit bigger. I also believe that if I work it in 2 pieces I can avoid that awkward sewing section when joining the top to the bottom. Stay tuned... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lil_mama06 Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 That is a superb idea. Thank you for sharing with us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Roli Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 I'm sorry but I just realized that I forgot to indicate the hook size for the pattern. Begin your project with H and use it unless stated otherwise. A correction to the pattern is coming. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LaceAngel Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Fab idea! As always! My friend no longer reads hardback books, cause they are too heavy and uncomfortable for her, but she does have an eReader. Maybe this will help with both. Thanks so much for sharing your talent with us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kittyloverdeb Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 What a clever gal you are! That has been a problem with me when I use my Nook. I need to go check out the pattern! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mattenylou Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 What a great idea! I can think of several other uses, too... it would be great for holding up patterns on my end table while I'm concentrating on my yarn and hook or using on the kitchen counter for holding open a cookbook, or that sheet of paper with the recipe I just printed out.... hmmm, what else? Thanks! I'm going to make one, too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FrLopLady Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 Thank you one and all for your comments.

I also believe that if I work it in 2 pieces I can avoid that awkward sewing section when joining the top to the bottom. Stay tuned... I have a tablet and had the same thought.,.it's not quite big enough. Will look forward to what you post for us. It is a brilliant idea! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gardener Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I saw an item that was similar to this for sale on line, and it seemed to me that I could just make one. However, like so many of my ideas, it turned out to be harder than I thought. So thanks very much for this pattern. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SharpSuzy Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 That is some spiffy crochet! I love oddball objects that improve life & make it more of a delight! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
breeze530 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 What a great idea, Carol! I should make something like it for my Kindle Fire. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LaceAngel Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I wonder if you turned the triangle, so that the rectangle base was used for propping the book up, if it wouldn't work better? Just a thought. Might accomadate bigger books that way. Anyhow, love the idea. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
arkansasgrits Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 awesome! i'll have to make 3 - (niece, friend, and of course, ME)!!!! Thanks for the pattern! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
