‘Knitter Who’ from Etsy Has Crafted These Epic Star Trek
Kyle Towers — February 28, 2013 — Tech
An Etsy user by the name of 'Knitter Who' has whipped up some impressive-looking Star Trek covers for the iPad. The covers feature several different Star Trek uniforms in stunning detail and likeness. I especially enjoy Worf’s cover that includes his warrior.
It can’t be sure how this crafty user makes a profit as knitting is a fairly time-consuming hobby and the finished products aren’t being sold for very much. Maybe Knitter Who is doing it for the love of Star Trek.
These Star Trek covers may inspire some future homemade projects as well. I can admit that not everyone is into Star Trek, but there are infinite amounts of other pop culture-inspired covers that can be knitted.
