Guys, guys, I really thought it would be a few weeks before I posted anything doctor who related. I really did. Silly me. Pretty much five minutes after that thought I was informed of the existence of a double knit doctor who scarf making the rounds on Ravelry. Frivolite Handcrafts has created a scarf titled The Name of the Doctor.
Tardis? Check. Gallifreyan script. Check. Possibly needing a time machine to get this done anytime soon? Check and check.
Well, Halloween is over. The pumpkin flavored everything season is over, let the peppermint flavored everything season begin. And I don’t know about all of you people, but it seems like my friends have caught a serious case of baby fever. This leaves me trying to come up with baby gifts for everyone, and in that search, I stumbled across this adorable onesie.
Based on the Star Trek: The Next Generation’s command uniform, Leigh of Fun Things to Do While You’re Waiting created this onesie from two t-shirts and a pattern she found. She used small round buttons for the pips, and created the comm-badge out of sculpey clay. This gift would be perfect for any Trekkie and their next generation (hehe), or a gift from a nerdy aunt or uncle. So head on over to the walkthrough and get to sewing!
I know, I know, that’s getting really old really fast. But I mean it this time. Knit a scarf that says “Winter is Coming” Really, Captain- Rachel modified the original pattern so it can be double knit and legible on both sides. She has charted it out so you can make yourself a nice warm scarf for this coming winter. And send out the warning before the ice zombies show up.
I have a love of double knit scarves that are truly reversible, so this really makes me happy. I have a double knit scarf on the needles but, who can’t do with more scarves?
Winter is coming (sorry…) but it really is. It’s time to start gearing up to stay warm, and why not do it with an excellently geeky scarf. Raveler Divinebird, designed and knit this great Pac-man scarf. And then she wrote up the free pattern so you can make one of your very own. Complete with ghosts, and food. Knit your way to victory.
My very first geek love was Lord of the Rings. I loved J.R.R. Tolkien’s works and Peter Jackson’s films, and collected calendars, comics, maps, and books about Middle Earth. So it should be no surprise that I’ve found three Lord of the Rings patterns for you to celebrate Middle Earth in your own way!
The first pattern is the noble Tree of Gondor, which can be seen on Faramir’s armor and the Gondorian flag. A beautiful white tree with seven stars and the crown of the King, it’s a pattern even non-Ringers can enjoy. Lusianne R. from Ravelry has created a handy pdf chart so that you too can declare your allegiance to the House of Gondor.
This next pattern is of the Doors of Durin, the secret doors that the Fellowship had to open before journeying into the Mines of Moria. While the actual doors were made of stone and ithildin, which could only be seen by moonlight or starlight, this knit pattern designed by Andrea Krüß-Anders on Ravelry, will probably be much more comfy and transportable.
The third pattern has already been featured here on GeekCrafts by Jenny, but is amazing enough to deserve a second appearance. What better way to show off your fandom than to wear the Elvish ring inscription as a scarf? This pattern is designed by Diana Stafford, and is also on Ravelry. Just be sure you have the rhyme memorized, should anyone ask for a translation!
“One ring to rule them all,
One ring to find them,
One ring to bring them all,
And in the darkness bind them!”
