Despite feeling very tired today, me and the fatigue have managed to finish a task, crocheting a cover for disintegrating headphones. They should make it another few years without covering us in orange shreds any more.

@EdibleFuchsia that's such a neat way of getting around the headphone disintegration problem! 🧡

[primo@donphan.social]

@EdibleFuchsia that's amazing!

[kiefheim@norden.social]

@EdibleFuchsia Brilliant idea!

[nathaliesz@social.coop]

@EdibleFuchsia wow that looks great! I need that too

I love that you all like this so much. A bit more on what I did: the top bar I lined the crochet with a piece of old bed sheet to stop the crumbles leaking through. The ear pads I picked off all the flakes then just popped the covers over. Top bar crochet is an uneven rectangle, slight decrease for the underside of the bar, joined the sides up on top with a slip stitch type join. The ears are crochet in the round starting with 6 stitches and increasing until the size of the pads, plus a couple of slip stitches here and there to attempt an oval, then 2 rows for the edge before decreasing for a couple of rows for the back. I fitted the covers over then used a running stitch to draw them in on the outer side. Can confirm the sound quality is AOK.

@EdibleFuchsia This is cool as hell!

[kierkegaanks@beige.party]

@EdibleFuchsia very nice result!

[paulnickson@mastodon.social]

@EdibleFuchsia @Kierkegaanks How’s the bottom-end response?

[justfi@beige.party]

@EdibleFuchsia Oh that is so cool, I hope the ears don't get too warm!

[ediblefuchsia@social.coop]

@JustFi these are used on our electric piano so not usually there for too long!! Very comfy though!

[justfi@beige.party]

@EdibleFuchsia Nice, I hope they last a long time to come!

[ediblefuchsia@social.coop]

@JustFi me too I hate chucking things out without an attempted fix

[justfi@beige.party]

@EdibleFuchsia Same, I want things to last as long as possible.

[ginevracat@toot.community]

@EdibleFuchsia I love this. So cool.

[trinsec@trinsec.org]

@EdibleFuchsia@social.coop That actually looks pretty cool. Bet it's more comfortable and less sweaty too.

@EdibleFuchsia now you made me wanna learn... CURSE YOU /j

[ediblefuchsia@social.coop]

@trinsec yeah, plastic faux leather is never going to be as nice. Admittedly this is just some likely plastic "wool" out of the stash, but yes to air flow!

@q mwahaha my work is done
