Can you get any geekier than carrying a bag that says “I Heart Math”? Craftster user Casstasstrophie created her own rubber stamp and applied it to these cross body hipster bags that she sewed for a swap.

5 Amigurumi Sackboys by causticmuse
I just came across this amazing crocheter (is that a word?) – Maggie Wang aka causticmuse – on Craftster. She has made a whole bunch of cool, very geeky amigurumi dolls based on Sackboy from LittleBigPlanet. I couldn’t pick a favorite as they’re all great, so here are five:
Level 80 Blood Elf from World of Warcraft
The Nameless One from Planescape: Torment

The Shadow Hare
I find it my geekly duty to inform any Geek Crafts readers that haven’t already heard, about The Shadow Hare. The Shadow Hare is a real-life Watchman in Cincinnati, OH. Not much is known of the Shadow Hare, other than that the Cincinnati PD is a little confused as to how to deal with this masked avenger who is patrolling their streets. After reading the initial article on TMZ, I did a little research and found a couple other news stories featuring The Shadow Hare and, of course, his myspace page.
If you’re not in Cincinnati, don’t fret. A little more research, and I discovered that there is an allegience of masked avengers (The Allegiance of Super Heroes) patrolling the streets. There is a Mr. Extreme in San Diego, CA and Wall Creeper in Colorado, along with many others who stay organized through the web.
Now, they may have taken The Watchmen a little too seriously, or maybe they are really awesome dudes trying to fight crime…but it’s unusual, and very geeky. And since they make their own costumes, very crafty. I love it. Absolutely love it.
MST3K Crocheted Tom Servo
Is Mystery Science Theater 3000 still on? That show always cracked me up, although watching any movie with my husband usually produces a similar effect. Craftster user MageAkyla crocheted this Tom Servo plush for her very lucky brother. Brilliant use of additional materials and that sleepy eye is hilarious.
Conker the Squirrel in Cross-stitch
I am always in awe of anyone who can cross-stitch a huge, detailed design and this Conker the Squirrel by Geek Craft reader Mrs. Evil Tedi is no exception. She used cross-stitch design software to make the pattern from the Xbox game Conker Live and Reloaded. I can’t even image how long this must have taken to complete.
Knitted Dinosaurs!
Jennifer Thurston, hostess of X-treme Knitting is my new hero. Not only are these three dinos the cutest little guys I’ve seen in a long while, but she put her camera to use and got this adorable picture of her Knitted Dinosaurs. The best thing about these adorable little guys is that Jennifer Thurston is giving these patterns away!
