I HATE when my earphones get tangled in my purse and gym bag! I spend forever untangling them no matter how carefully I put them away! I saw another blogger showcase a genius idea on how to fix this!
I grabbed a small crochet hook and some leftover sock yarn. Tah Dah!!!
I’m not the best with a crochet hook, but it will do. I did a single chain stitch around the cord and all the way up the main cord and up one side of the ear buds. I left the other ear bud alone because it has a volume control.
Now I have fabric coated ear buds that resist tangling!
Happy Friday and Happy Knitting!!!

I need to do this with mine. They’d look less dirty! (and I mean that literally, not as a euphemism. what the hell is up with the bottom of my purse being so gross?
I have a theory involving purse gremlins, lol
That is such a good idea! Off to find my crochet hook…
does it work?…if so I am very interested….
So far so good, the one side not covered got a bit tangled yesterday.
Love this! What a great idea.
I would never in a million years have thought of this. Very cool if it works!
Cool! Gotta try this! Thanks for sharing!
Super cute! My earbuds go into my purse with my knitting and phone power cord…I’ll bet you know how that one usually ends!
