MAKE: Blog: Knitted Boombox Bag

Knitted Boombox Bag

Knitboom
Shannon Okey of knitgrrl.com says, "This is the knitted Boombox Bag from my first book, Knitgrrl. It's got a set of cheap Radio Shack speakers built into the interior that can plug into an iPod or other portable music device in the front pocket. The next version of this pattern will have the speakers actually built in to the front like a real boombox (since it was a beginners' knitting book, we couldn't do too much complex shaping). The sound is surprisingly good for $10 speakers!" Maker Faire alert! You'll be able to take a closer look at this knitted boombox as well as meet the fabulous Shannon herself at her booth at Bazaar Bizarre within the Maker Faire. Shannon will also be teaching a couple of crafty cool workshops! Link.

DIY Halloween contest at MAKE! In honor of the best DIY holiday ever, we're having a party -- and everyone's invited! Elaborate costumes for the whole family, gadgets that go "zzzZAP!," gross-looking foods, creepy decorations that turn your house into a forbidding castle, and spooky jack-o-lanterns guarding your front door: these are the things we look forward to all year.

DIY HALLOWEEN from the editors of MAKE and CRAFT brings you 40-plus DIY projects for the holiday that's made for makers. From the craftiest costumes to amazing animated props and the latest in computer-controlled haunted house effects. Get it at the Maker Shed store!. And lastly, our Animated Ghost Kit. Grab this cool kit for Halloween. Sound activated, the ghost flashes his little red LED eyes, vibrates and makes scary sounds! Easy and fun to build. Hack it! Get it at the Maker Shed Store!
