Spiderman Blanket

Geeks come in all varieties.  That’s my favorite part of geekdom — how very inclusive it can be, since you can geek out over just about anything.

When I’m looking for geek crafts that are ‘gotta have it’ status, my first qualifier is, “Well, is this geekily functional?”  Oh, and yes, I did just use the word ‘geek’ as an adverb.  Why not?

Take a look at this adorable baby blanket made by Maygin, shop owner of Gromidez on Etsy. First off — super functional.  Every geek parent will tell you that you will always need a blanket around once you have a kid.  It’s just a thing.  Kids need blankets, lose blankets, spit-up on blankets.

So, functional.  Check.

But, it’s also super geeky.  Seriously.  A handmade Spider-Man inspired blanket made in the perfect colors and expertly crocheted to resemble a spider web?  Sold!  You add another layer of awesome to this blanket when you find out it’s machine washable.

Maygin sells this blanket and much, much more epic geekiness over at her Etsy store.  And don’t worry —  I bet she’ll make one in adult sizes if you don’t have a baby geek to spoil.
