Puffer beanies and helmet covers in one--I made these!

Post by recombinantrider »

Hello!

I am proud to announce that I designed these puffer beanies and helmet cover in one with Julian, called Fugoo! They are designed originally for snowboarders, skiers, and bike riders, but they can be worn by non-helmet wearers too since they fit well as beanies!

Please check it out, I literally just launched the site today and you're one of the first ones in the world to know!

Please help support a puffer lover and a flegdling small business by sending it out to your friends :) They are perfect gift for helmet wearers and kids (through preodering mostly).

Thank you so much!

Those are awesome! Hey, you could also sell the patterns.
"I will give you a talisman. Whenever you are in doubt, or when the self becomes too much with you, apply the following test. Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen, and ask yourself, if the step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him or her. Will she gain anything by it? Will it restore her to a control over her own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to freedom for the hungry and spiritually starving millions? Then you will find your doubts and your self melt away."

Thanks! I originally just made one for my own amusement, but whenever I wear mine to the slopes to go snowboarding, people would not stop asking me where to buy one, so I decided to make more and sell them!

I started wearing them to places like supermarkets and Target, I just got all these compliments all the time : )

Pufferpunk! Yay! Please do, if you want one for your bike helmet, please let me know the dimensions of it (height and circumference) so I can make one for you that will fit perfectly!

Aww thanks! I thought about making a GSP and Sushi type of fugu, but I really am not a very skilled knitter and have no idea how to do complicated color patterns. I'll try to talk to my mom and see if she could teach me a thing or two that I can use to make those. Right now I think she's a little overwhelmed because she's helping me make so many of those prototypes! Maybe in the future.

Solid colors in kids size are available for sure now though :)

I was amazed to see American riding without helmets. They're mandatory in Canada, you don't have a choice.
It is absurd to talk of one animal being higher than another. We consider those, when the cerebral structure/intellectual faculties most developed, as highest. A bee doubtless would when the instincts were.
