If you just couldn't find a babysitter last week so that you could stand in line for your new iPhone and you are having trouble waiting for the one you ordered on line, another option would be to knit yourself an iPhone.
Okay, I admit it, when I first found the link through Boing Boing I thought this was going to be about a Mom who knitted an iPhone out of boredom or to shut up a whiny teenager, but in fact when I followed another link to Daddy Types where it turned out that this guy's mom knits cell phones (and possibly cell phone covers; it is kind of unclear) and this is a great way to distract little kids from your own cell phone, or iPhone if you are cool enough.
And had six hundred dollars to spare.
Am I bitter? Possibly. Yes, I drank the Apple Kool Aid and I am a Mac girl, of course I covet the iPhone. Even if all I could get was the knit version I would be cool with it if I could still get on the internet while I was stuck in traffic.
