Cozy Phones

First of all, you should know I am an avid user of StumbleUpon.

Very much so.

And lately, I've been getting into Stumbling crochet-themed pages. My computer has been sent away for repairs this morning (I'm typing this on the family dinosaur), so when it gets back I'll update this post showing you just how many patterns and pages I have bookmarked.

But back on topic.

I found quite a few cell phone holders in my ventures, but none for my cell phone. I have a beat-up Blackberry Curve, but since it functions and it's an extra $138/month to change my phone, I'll hang onto it til my contract is up. Anyway, I had some extra yarn, so I took a 5.5 mm hook and came up with this:

Yes, it clashes hideously. Do I care? NO! ^^ Its soft and makes the phone big enough that it doesn't vanish into my purse when I'm rushing to answer a call. Yup, I have high standards. ;)

The main problem I had with it though, was that my phone's camera was obscured with the yarn. My mother helped me come up with the solution to that. Add a hammer and a grommet...

Voila!

The hole is just large enough that I can take a picture without worry about the corners being obscured.

I don't have a pattern to it, otherwise I would add it. But when I'm no longer struggling with this terrible keyboard, I'll provide some guidelines I used to make it.

Hopefully I'll be able to post more regularly soon, I've 3 projects on the go and looking for more but I can't steal my mom's iphone so easily, so I'll need to dig up the old Olympus camera I gave my brother. :P

Anyway, have a great day, and leave any comments for a suggestion to improve it? :)
