Katamari Damacy Earmuffs for Shojo Beat Magazine

(http://static.flickr.com/108/299554485_b12ed62c10.jpg?v=0)

This was my first job writing crafty for Shojo Beat magazine: Katamari Damacy Queen of All Cosmos earmuffs! The pattern is featured in the December issue, which goes on sale any second now.

Aren’t they freaking adorable? Besides being very cute and silly, they also have a secret compartment:

Anyway, I’m allowed to go on and on about how cute they are and maintain my modesty because they weren’t my idea, just my translation. Laurenn McCubbin’s (http://www.laurennmccubbin.com/) actually the smarty behind seeing the Queen of All Cosmos as earmuffs (although I do claim the secret compartment; I’m a natural sneak).

And here’s the Prince of all Cosmos variation, which will be on the Shojo Beat website. I think you need the magazine pattern for the variation to make sense. They’re modeled by Kelly Sue in her yummy pink office.

If you knit, get the pattern in the magazine. If you don’t, I can knit-to-order custom muffs for $120 for either of these versions or $100 for chunky yarn versions.

Can you make a king one too? I'd buy the pair if the price is right. The Bz'em demands it. Make it so Melissa. That would be awesome to wear around town with the bride.

In all seriousness, though, if I saw a dude wearing those on the street, I would have no choice but to beat the shit out of him. They're a nice concept, but they will probably make just about anyone look like a fruit IRL. :-\

You have deceived the Bz'em. You shall now bake him muffins in the flavor of Apples to appease him for your insolence.

I think they would look cute on say, a 4 year old girl.

I showed this to a friend of mine who is an avid knitter; her reaction was, "those look like giant boobs on the sides of her head."
