A Travel Must-Have

Since I have recently become a knitter, I will often look at knitting blogs for great pattern ideas or just to look at what other knitters work on. Today, I was looking at knittisings.com and came across one of the funniest and strangest things EVER!

Behold the Laptop Compubody Sock!

It is designed to provide privacy while you work on your computer in public places and it keeps your ears warm at the same time! I would like to see one of these worn with a Snuggie over it, that would be awesome! It is one of many hand-knitted inventions known as "Body-Technology Interfaces". More can be seen at sternlab.org, but I will post a few of my favorites:

Cell Phone Ski Mask - This would be a good thing for all of the parents who take their kids to school in the morning. Many of them seem to have a phone permanently attached to their ear anyway.

The Keyboard Kozy - Now, this looks ridiculous, but my hands are always cold and I think it kind of makes sense. Besides, anyone with decent keyboarding skills should be able to type without looking at the keys, right?

Ski Mask for Eating a Sandwich - This is SO funny looking! Completely impractical of course ... unless you are a nose picker and don't want anyone to see.

Wow! I think people have way too much time on their hands!

Oh my goodness. That was a good laugh. That guy on the plane! Can you imagine all the passengers that had no idea it was a joke? ...at least I sure hope it was a joke!

Love the pictures, Kelly. Made my day.
