Geek Crafts

The Best Colleges Online has posted an infographic entitled The Sacred Order of Geeks that mentions various types of geek like Apple Geek, Star Wars Geek, Film Geek and… wait for it… Craft Geek. It describes a Craft Geek as:

• Calls televisions “picture boxes”
• Can knit from zero to bivouac in 6.8 seconds
• Is on a first-name basis with the staff at Jo-Ann Fabrics and Home Depot

I’ve no idea what the television comment means or has to do with us crafty geeks. What do you think in general about this infographic?

We forgot to mention – The Escapist did a great article called Max-Level Crafters and it’s all about geek crafts (the idea, not our website), but focuses on video game crafts. And… our little Geek Crafts blog was mentioned and our very own Renee was even quoted in it! Go now and take a read – it’s a great article! (We’re mentioned on the third page).

Wow – check out these great crocheted monster eyes slippers! I love them – too bad my wife can’t make me some (she lacks the skillz).

Premier Yarns has branched out into some geek crafts for us to enjoy! They created a pattern for these awesome monster eyes slippers you see above and are giving the pattern away for FREE on their website.

And… they have offered all Geek Crafts readers a discount on any purchases made at Premier Yarns – use the code OCTG33K during the month of October to get 10% off any purchase of Dream yarns (the yarn used in the pattern).

Now, go out there and make some monster eyes slippers and show us the finished result!

Ok, this one is totally NOT crafty at all, but a new PC/MAC game is absolutely geeky. The only reason I’m posting this is because a friend of mine created this game. The game is called Creeper World and it’s a RTS/Tower Defense type game for PC and MAC. You can find out more and download a free demo at http://knucklecracker.com. I typically dislike RTS games but I played through the first three levels right before I wrote this and enjoyed it thoroughly. I’ll be going back to finish the demo.
