Macbooks, and really anything with the modern Intel Core series processors, do run pretty hot compared to older processors, but they seldom “overheat.” Intel says they are safe to run at temps we were taught to avoid. I wouldn’t worry about overheating the laptop. My thing is, why would I want to keep my computer warm without keeping my “me” warm????
Fifty bucks? She thinks she can get that for fifty bucks? You have got to be shitting me. The yarn alone would cost more than fifty bucks! Then looking at how much knitting is involved, I’m estimating a minimum of 30-40 hours of knitting time. So she thinks someone should knit that excrescence – making up a pattern as they go – for about minus 10 bucks an hour?
My knitting needles would turn around and stab me in the heart if I took her up on her offer. And I’d thank them!
Soooo this is a joke alchemy request? I can’t see why anyone would need or want this thing.
Alchemy is all a bunch of joke postings anyway… I mean, what kind of person asks a crafter/artist, to create brand name knock off’s? Or for that matter, what kind of Etsy crafter/artist, turns around and bids on the requests for cheap knock off’s?
Ohhh, and great timing too! Isn’t tomorrow Dr. Seuss’ bday? At first, I thought this was a joke and had to look at it for a good five minutes … but now I know there’s an ulterior motive in place of porn or playing Neopets in public.
HK, I sure hope it doesn’t hurt too much when you laugh. My involuntary outburst upon first sight of this sweater thing would certainly have popped my stitches if I’d just had surgery on my mid-section.
Get well soon!
Ooh, it’s art that makes ya think about stuff. That’s nice and spiffy, but why would you want one for personal…oh, right. Whoever said porn sweater hit it.
As for Alchemy, #15 X Random Snarker X : I live in an apartment and don’t have access to a woodworking shop. It’s pretty handy to have someone else machine wood to my specs. So, it has it’s uses.
I can just imagine myself going through the airport and seeing someone using their laptop privacy sweater. I would definitely take a picture with my phone and upload to facebook…instantly.
I know, Monstrosa. Some times there are legitimate alchemy requests, it’s just sad though the amount of people who are like “Make me a Disney T-shirt for $5.00″, or requests for wholesale baby boutique items which cost less than $2 each. I don’t think that would even cover the materials for anything! Then of course there are the ones who are looking for a platinum ring with a flawless 2k diamond to be made for tomorrow, preferably in the neverland area for $8. Too much fuckery goin’ on…
For those wondering exactly what this is, I can’t remember the exact name of it but it’s usually used for gaming, and the purpose of it is to keep out any outside distracting light and movement so you can be totally focused on the game. I can only imagine it being really hot and uncomfortable, though.
oh man. it’s as if helen killer just read my mind. i was just wanting someone to start making fun of some of the ridiculous alchemy requests. this post made my day.
I’ve seen this pic before too… and $50 is NOWHERE NEAR the compensation that the work would involve for this. I mean, besides the fact that this person actually wants one, which I won’t even address. What are they thinking? Learn to knit yourself asshole, then find out how much this costs.
Spinhandspun reviewed Becky’s BTI’s a few weeks ago. More examples and info at: http://wp.me/pq2DY-jM
Her escapism concept is simultaneously intuitive and hilarious, but Brute’s right, $50 wouldn’t front materials + time.
Interesting aside from Sterlab/Spinhandspun post: “To encourage personal communication, Stern invites participants to design and sketch their own Body Technology Interface with her. These designs are then packaged as a kit containing parts and assembly instructions…
So I can knit. I am currently knitting a cardigan for a baby, and the yarn and tiny needles cost more than 50$, and it is just for an infant.
Also, I remember feeling almost claustrophobic getting my head stuck in a too-tight sweater once as a child. This seems like the sort of thing that would bring back that “is the inside of this sweater the last thing I will ever see?” feeling.
OMG mtopia! I got trapped in a polyesther turtleneck as a child, and was afraid of them for many years afterward!
This thing looks well-made, and is pretty cool as an art piece, but I would not want one at any price. And Re: the link where someone asked how one would breathe in there… It was spelled “breath”, which makes me INSANE! ! ! Breathe, breathe, breathe!!! With an E, dammit!
First thought when I saw this- why not just use a privacy blanket like the one I used for breastfeeding in public?
Second thought- why not make a cover for the laptop to resemble baby legs sticking out of the privacy blanket. You would most definitely get people to look away plus many “interesting” comments. That’s what I would do with the 50 bucks.
Whatever her covert purpose, this’d SURELY be the way to be inconspicuous about it!
Um, not to grab anyone’s pot ‘o gold, but, couldn’t you just use a regular cowl neck sweater and slip the laptop into the bottom, tucking under the skants hole?
I can tell you that people from Naperville are the dumbest people on the planet. At least all the ones I’ve met; they’re just dumb as shit. God, sorry. I just… I deal with them every damn day.
So you can be itchy, get static hair, and not be able to see your computer screen in the dark, all while looking like a Dr. Seuss character gone very, very, wrong.
Never mind that there’s no way in Hell I’d do that much knitting + cost of materials for fifty bucks.
Oh, just imagine this woman’s joy when she uses her brand new Laptop Cozy. She gets the laptop in there, pokes her head through the opening and then realizes there is nowhere for her bad breath to go.
On a bit of a tangent, can anyone recommend places to find patterns for strange or unusual knitting projects? I’m a beginning to intermediate knitter, and I’m getting tired of just making hats and scarves. I’d like to try making something really weird.
The person making the alchemy request stole the image (the artist does sell things on etsy, not this as it was an art project, and does do custom stuff so the requester either contacted her and got turned down for wanting to pay only 50$ OR laughed at for taking it seriously and wanting to USE one.)
she thinks this would cost 50$
and
she doesn’t get the point of the original artwork
BTW the artist sells on etsy, conductive thread and embroidery kits for making samplers that use LED’s to light up design elements in them (A frog with two fireflies lit up over its lily pad was the one I saw pics of) and necklaces and patches and such.
she does not sell these. (at least not on etsy and I am guessing not for 50$ anywhere.)
Alchemy totally sucks, so do custom item requests, I acutally had someone ask me to recreate a pillow and the image had a watermark and copyright in the link they sent-sorry copyright infringement dumbass!
There got to be alot more “gold” in alchemy for regretsy fun!!!!!
as for this request, I guess this is how you hide your shame as you sit in a small local coffee shop weezing the free Wi Fi without even ordering a freakin cup of coffee!
#74, you’ve hit the nail on the head. I don’t sell these on Etsy, since they’re part of art project and not meant to be used practically. It /would/ overheat your laptop, and it’s actually not super easy to see the screen from inside, what with the sagging and shifting and all. As for #72, I did make an Instructable that outlines this object’s creation (the head part is kinda like turning the heel on a sock), so check that out! http://www.instructables.com/id/Laptop-Compubody-Sock/
Hey Everyone. I’m the person who did the alchemy request.
1. First off, I’m a fucking GUY. Stop calling me she. Christ.
2. I think this thing is awesome, and I’ve been wanting one for years. Don’t hate.
3. Props to Bekathwia for the original concept / design. Sorry for stealing your picture.
4. Yes, MANY people have put up bids for it, and I am indeed getting it for $50, though after reading your comments, I may give her a pretty large tip considering the estimated effort…
Hey tehnightninja, we’re the people making fun of your request for our amusement.
1. The pic you used is a fucking GIRL.
2. You must have a hell of a laptop cooler. And like attention. And heat stroke.
3. Yes, and you should be sorry. Next time ask first, I bet she would’ve said yes. At least give attribution.
4. You ought to verify what the content of the yarn is before she starts it. That much yarn for that cheap is more than likely at least part synthetic=hot and scratchy,…
So funny. I can’t imagine wanting something like this. I get hot having my laptop on my lap… let alone while being facially molested by a sweater.
Also, #80, the beauty of the internet is this thing called anonymity. If your alchemy post said ” I have male genitals BTW I want a laptop sweater” I would understand your ire. It’s not the fault of the Regretsy readership that society tends to label “Crafters” as synonymous with “Women”.
As it is, props on your copyright infringement.
Tech Night Ninja: Seriously, this is for looking at porn on library computers, right? Please tell me I’m not the only one banned from several local libraries.
I crochet and I was once on a mailing list for crocheters. Some person on the list found a knitting pattern she liked and requested someone who would ‘convert’ the knitting pattern to crochet for her so she could make one for herself.
I wrote her privately and told her that she had a lot of freaken nerve to ask someone to do something that is 1) time-consuming and 2) not always possible for 3) free.
I told her to learn how to knit, because she was a nitwit.
I like this piece as a piece of concept art, but seriously, how would you go about actually using one of these things without getting seriously annoyed or passing out from lack of oxygen or from the heat?
Dude, you’re whack.This might be okay if you lived in the Arctic. Spend enough time in this Italian wool tent, you’re gonna’ be growing mold in there.Just sayin’
If you’re wearing skants with it tho’ ,at least you’ll have a breeze somewhere.
March 1, 2010 at 7:01 pm
Obviously it’s for looking at porn and masturbating in public.
March 1, 2010 at 7:04 pm

I’ll knit one, but it’ll cost 500.00.

March 1, 2010 at 7:12 pm
just bizzare
March 1, 2010 at 7:14 pm
But can it convert into skants? Or go with skants? if not , what good is it?

Extra bang for reading the request before looking at the picture. That is fucking hilarious! Or maybe I’ve had too much wine. ha ha ha!!!

It looks like an anteater with a missing ear.

As another noted–you’ll spend more $$ in burned-out laptops due to heat than the cost of knitting this thing.

March 2, 2010 at 1:56 am
So the one day where I’m away from a computer and unable to enjoy this, three new and awesome things get the fuckery treatment without me.
On the brighter side, my Australian arrived on time and unscathed from his trip from the other side of the planet.
Now about this sweater- when I surf the ‘net, I tend to get chilly, but since I don’t have an elephant’s trunk, this would be of little use to me.
March 2, 2010 at 3:16 am
but how does she breathe?
March 2, 2010 at 4:06 am
This ladies is how you would get your purse and/or bookbag stolen if you sat them next to you in a public place.
“Gee officer I was just sitting here on my laptop and someone walked by and took my purse with $2000.00 in it! I have no idea how I missed that!”
I know what you are thinking. Who keeps 2 grand in their purse? You would be surprised.

Second thought- why not make a cover for the laptop to resemble baby legs sticking out of the privacy blanket. You would most definitely get people to look away plus many “interesting” comments. That’s what I would do with the 50 bucks.

problems with this thing;
The person making the alchemy request stole the image (the artist does sell things on etsy, not this as it was an art project, and does do custom stuff so the requester either contacted her and got turned down for wanting to pay only 50$ OR laughed at for taking it seriously and wanting to USE one.)
