There might be a market for crocheted holsters for small guns. Could be an interesting niche item.I'm diggin' that custom holster... think she'd make one for a P229? (Seriously...) :yes4:
BTW AZSATT, she is thrilled that you like it so much. But I don't own a P229, how would she get the size and shape right?
LOL
Yeah, maybe I should start a business. I could have a sweat shop, and pay asians 20 cents an hour to make these things. :biggrin:
Seriously, I could get her to make one, if you really want it.
It might work for small pistols that don't have sights, and it could always be pre-shrunk. Maybe not an everyday use item, but definitely interesting. Maybe just call it a "gun sock", an accessory that people can put their firearms in when not in use. Rather than just leaving your gun on a shelf in a safe, put it in a gun sock! Not functional, but cool.Really?
I would think a yarn holster would not be the best choice vs. leather. It would absorb sweat and moisture, then probably shrink if you washed it. Not very durable for everyday use, I would think. The front sight would probably snag, unless you had a guard strip in there.
Here's another possibility though...a knitted yarn or wool thing, that is fitted around a leather or kydex shell on the inside. That would add up to a practical holster, with a knitted design on the outside. Women would love it, and as you've seen, lots of men would as well.
It would also be softer and more comfortable than just bare leather or plastic, with the added benefit of being warmer in cold climates. Plus it has a nice "homely" look that many people will find appealing.
