My first FINISHED knitting project!
Ok, so since this is a craft blog, I decided to finally post something about crafts! Wow, what a concept!!! Anywho, here it is in all it's glory!
I would like to present my cell phone cozy!!!
K, so i emphasize that it is my first finished project because I have many on going projects and this is the only one that made it to the end! I also have made a cozy for my camera, but I don't remember how I did it so i won't post it until I figure it out. I guess what motivated me to finish this cell phone cozy was as you can see from the pictures I have rhinestones glued on to it. I needed the cozy to protect me precious "bling" phone!
It's basically this formula:
(I hate knitting abreviations so I'm going to write it all out!)
1. Cast On: 8 stitches
2. Alternate Knit & Pearl stitches for about 36 rows,depending on the size of your phone.
3. Bind Off
4. Now that you have a knitted strip, fold in half & sew the sides together with a yarn needle of some sorts. As you can see from the side view picture I didn't really sew it very well & my yarn was too thick so it ended up showing through. Hey that's why this is LAZY CRAFTS!
5. Sew on a fun button to decorate. I used something I had laying around that fell off my sweater awhile back.
Suggestions:
1. You can add a strap to make a mini purse of sorts. I decided not to since I'm always pulling out my phone & thought it would get in the way.
2. I only estimated this project. No gauge involved. It's sort of a trial & error thing. It makes the end result more rewarding! Then you can shout, HOLY CRAP I FINISHED IT!!
