Here's a cool iPhone alternative for the kids this Christmas: a handknitted iPhone!

Concerned that his young son could damage his brand new iPhone, Greg of DaddyTypes.com asked his mother to knit him a child-friendly alternative, and here is the uber-cool result. Okay, so it doesn't look as good as the real thing, and the kids can't charge their parents with expensive long-distance calls... But I can't help loving it! If only I could knit I'd be able to afford an iPhone all of my very own!

For full details of how the knitted iPhone can be made, head on over to DaddyTypes.com where Greg has posted full instructions.
