FO: Mushroom Hat!

The crafty resolution list is getting shorter already and it’s only mid-January. It’s great getting the little projects out of the way. First finished object of the year…

… the Mushroom Hat!

It’s a little larger than I’d like it to be but it fits well and is super comfy and warm so I guess that’s what counts. It was good using circulars and DPNs again. While making it, I came up with another possible rendition of this – black with black shiny beads at each ‘corner’ in the pattern design. It’d come out nicely, me thinks. This version is 100% wool but a more ‘fashionable’ version could be a silk blend for more drapiness.

All in all, a good project to start the year off :)

iPhone Cozy?

I’ve been dabbling with the idea of making more crochet phone pouches for the new shop.. then I started to think, why not iPhone cozies? Would these be useful? This is the first prototype mockup – call it v 1.0. It’s still up for improvements.. any feedback?

And as I said earlier to BananaBoy since this is still under wraps, “Don’t go leaking this to Gizmodo.” ;)
