Katamari Damacy Earmuffs for Shojo Beat Magazine

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 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.

The Miles Trahan Burger Experiment · « **Reply #9 on:** November 22, 2006, 07:23:12 PM »

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're a dirty fucking shyster, Melissa, and I hope you get hit by a motorboat! :'( :'( :'(

G The Resurrected · « **Reply #12 on:** November 22, 2006, 07:32:36 PM »

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

Melissa · « **Reply #13 on:** November 22, 2006, 07:34:19 PM »

bu..bu...but I didn't even do anything!!!!! I never said I made those and I don't look anything like that girl. Look at her eyebrows...and the bags under her eyes!!!!

The Miles Trahan Burger Experiment · « **Reply #14 on:** November 22, 2006, 07:34:43 PM »

LYNCH HER!

G The Resurrected · « **Reply #15 on:** November 22, 2006, 07:36:46 PM »

Yes let us Lynch her for her crimes.

Executioner Shake make it so.

Vizzys · « **Reply #18 on:** November 22, 2006, 08:15:13 PM »

My first thought was, "thats incredibly gay looking."

:/

The Miles Trahan Burger Experiment · « **Reply #19 on:** November 22, 2006, 08:16:01 PM »

Meh BlueT, Melissa fuckin lied to us. She's never even seen this IRL. $:-\$

Waychel · « **Reply #20 on:** November 23, 2006, 03:22:25 AM »

Anyone have scans of the knitting pattern?

etiolate · « **Reply #21 on:** November 23, 2006, 04:25:59 AM »

Not only would I wear the King version of these earmuffs, I would wear the matching tights with them.

What if they were earthbound earmuffs

whiteACID · « **Reply #23 on:** November 23, 2006, 10:14:30 AM »

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

Phoenix Dark · « **Reply #24 on:** November 23, 2006, 10:27:10 AM »

Would anyone honestly wear that in public? $:-\$

whiteACID · « **Reply #25 on:** November 23, 2006, 11:56:02 AM »

I certainly hope not.

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."

Im not sure what they would look like, as no one in the game wears earmuffs.
