Today on the Geek Crafts Flickr pool, I pulled out this awesome picture.
It’s a recreation of the season 12 legendary Doctor Who scarf by Face Ache.
I’m also making one of these so I know just how long and tedious they are. Fabulous!
For the uninitiated, Nyan Cat is is an 8-bit animation depicting a cat with the body of a cherry pop tart flying through outer space. I have always been fascinated by internet memes, and have seen many flying cats and at least a few pastry cats, but the cuteness and absurdity of Nyan Cat is certainly the pinnacle of “flying pastry cats” on the internet.
Etsian BlackPie has brought Nyan Cat off the screen and into your home with this delightful Nyan Cat crochet scarf. Not only will you look cute and cozy in this wonderful tribute to Nyan Cat, but when life gets too stressful you can just close your eyes and imagine flying through space.
What are you waiting for? Get the scarf!
Spring may have sprung, but that doesn’t mean we’re in the clear yet. Especially where I live in Northern California, sunny days can quickly give way to blustery evenings.
However, if you have a scarf as bad-ass as this crochet skull scarf, you won’t mind the cooler weather.
Handmade by Kara York, this Peruvian wool scarf is sure to keep your old bones warm! For folks who like their macabre with a dash of color, Kara’s Etsy shop — Wicked Crochet – also has this scarf in festive colors or with floral accents.
If you’ve already packed away your winter wear, never fear. Kara also offers some lovely skull headbands that would look great with a nice (gothic) sundress.
Craftster is such a great place to find nerdy crafts. Back in 2008 they had a Science IS Art swap that had amazing gallery–which included the greatest scarf of all time: the DNA Scarf. Superhooker made it for her partner (along with other great stuff) and it quickly became a popular topic. Last year I was the lucky recipient of one, and I love it! The pattern is here, so you can have your own!
For gamers living in colder corners of the world, DeviantART member Jenifer Chetwin (AKA Mad Mouse Media) offers some beautiful – and toasty-looking – video game scarves.
From classic Nintendo games like Metroid to smash XBox titles like Assassin’s Creed, Jenifer has skillfully knit up a gamut of gaming icons.
She takes commissions, so get your scarf before the thaw!
The Lady Cartoonist (Meredeth Scheff) decided to make a new scarf each day of January. They’re all really unique and different, but I felt that the one she made for January 1 was the geekiest. She says it best:
Check out some of her other scarves as well! (My favorite one is the Lucha Libre.)
