In December GeekCrafts brought your attention to Angry Birds Plushie by Obsessively Stitching and today we bring you Amigurumi Angry Birds Pig Pattern by The Itsy Bitsy Spider amigurumi-Crochet. But it doesn’t stop there! She has also made the Angry Birds goldfinch to go along with the pig, and she has an amigurumi pattern for the cardinal available in ravelry. I’m personally tempted to make a bunch, fill them with beans, and set up elaborate constructions with the pigs to knock down with the birds. Sounds like a great party game to me!

Chain Chomp Hat
I need this hat. I don’t even wear hats and I want this hat on my head. As soon as I finish the 5 other projects I have on my needles I am casting this on. Designed by Ravelry user Allison MacAlister this Chain Chomp Hat will delight any gamer. MacAlister runs Knittingninja.com where she blogs about her knitting designs.

Bioshock Embroidery
“Look, Mr. B!”
I squealed like a Little Sister when I saw this simple, yet striking Bioshock embroidery.
Craftster member lostinwonderland stitched up the design from one of the posters found in the Little Wonders level of the video game. A deceptively sweet image for such a sinister purpose…
SOAP!!
Everyone needs to get clean from time to time, and what better way to accomplish this than with a bar of soap shaped like an old-school NES controller?? Chrystal Doucette’s Digitalsoaps store on Etsy sells all kinds of gamer-shaped soaps: controllers for the NES, Xbox, and the Wii. There are even soaps shaped like actual games! Mortal Kombat II for the Sega, Zombies Ate My Neighbors for the SNES, and even a Space Invaders Atari cartridge (with little green pixelated invaders available for purchase as well!) Do yourself a favor and click around the shop–you’ll find many more geeky gamer soaps.
Perhaps what I find most charming about these soaps is that they are scented to smell like Mountain Dew! This is truly a seller who’s in touch with her geek consumer base. The soaps are even vegan.
