"There's a kind of English humour of, 'Well, if you haven't got it, we'll just knit one,'" the owner of London knitting shop Prick Your Finger tells Tim Dowling.
If you thought an iPhone made you popular in the pub, try owning a knitted iPhone. So much more fun.
First off the mark was not an English knitter, alas, but an American 'Mom' who was asked to knit an iPhone for her Grandson: "A kid needs his own iPhone so he won't play with his Dad's."
Full instructions on the Daddy Types blog, which explain which wool and needles to use (2-ply tapestry, and #6), which stitch (knit 1 purl 1) and how to embroider the buttons. It will take you between four and five hours, but boy - will it be worth it.
So you'll need a playlist for your knitted iPhone. We've come up with these:
'Purl' Jam
'Knit' King Cole and/or 'Nitalie' Cole
Anything by Cast
Get Cape Wear Cape Ply (sorry)
The Cardigans
Anyone?
