I have at last finished my Minecraft iPhone cosies. As with quite a lot of my knits I start off all enthusiastic at the initial creative bit. I have an idea, and then sit with my needles and wool, working out the best way to make it.
But then it gets to the checking bit. I knit some samples, but then I get insecure. So I think I had better knit a few more, just to check that there are no errors in the pattern or notes. So now I have a small pile of iPhone cosies.
I then get a bit worried about the photos. The natural light has been terrible today, so I am not totally happy, but it is done ....
In the end I decided to do just one size, so the cosy fits an iPhone, an iPod touch, and a mini smartphone. But there are three separate charts for creeper, zombie or skeleton versions. I am rather fond of the skeleton version myself.
My son is not convinced that there is much overlap between Minecraft fans and knitters.
They are fab, and the overlap between Minecraft and knitting may be bigger than expected - you just never know! x
ReplyDeleteI really hope they sell well for you, I think they look great but don't have a Minecraft fan handy xx
ReplyDeleteThese look spot on. You really got the likeness of the Minecraft creatures. Maybe you'll get some Minecraft crafters wanting you to make versions of their characters.
ReplyDeleteOhhh I like the skeletons too :-) Simmi x
ReplyDeleteThese look great. It doesn't take much to get the message out to Minecraft fans with the aid of the internet! I hope it is very successful as you have worked very hard on them - and they look so good.
ReplyDeleteHa! That's so true, Minecraft fans are quite likely to have knitting Mums! (or Dads... :))
ReplyDeleteThese are really cute and would make lovely little birthday pressies x
It's a lot of hard work to get things just the way we want them but us crafters wouldn't have it any other way. It's worth it in the end. Good luck on getting sales :)

Brill - good luck with the sales x
ReplyDeleteThey look great and I am sure they will be very popular - good luck. Hope you have a good week.
ReplyDeleteHa, I had no idea what Minecraft was and I don't own an iPhone, and I still think these are ace! :) Good luck with your sales!
ReplyDeleteYou should definitely have some positive feedback with these. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI think they're a great alternative to the other covers in the shops and I'm sure lots of minecraft lovers will want to get their hands on one.

Minecraft is a bit of mystery to me but I'm sure they'll appeal :)
ReplyDeleteMy boys all love/are obsessed by minecraft and think these gadget covers are great! I had no idea what a creeper was though, till I read your post
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous! Not aware of Minecraft, ours is a girly place!!
ReplyDeleteGreat cozies! I too don't know what Minecraft is, but I know cute when I see it.
ReplyDeleteAh, this is great! I might just have to grab one of these patterns, as I have a teenager who A. loves minecraft & B. loves his iPod! I think the crossover potential is spectacular, myself. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the fact they look like cosy mittens
ReplyDeleteNice cozies!! I made one with an icord holder for around the neck as my step mom is recovering from hip surgery and her phone was never close enough to her.
ReplyDeleteThe samples look fab! Great pattern!
ReplyDeleteGreat job....can just imagine all the work that went into creating these.
ReplyDeleteThese look great and I am sure will be hugely popular!
ReplyDeleteThey're cute! Maybe your son will be surprised. :)
ReplyDeleteThose are super cute! Here's hoping you do some great business.
ReplyDeleteVery cool! And thanks for linking in ;)
