Craftster user AprilDraven was kind enough to post the pattern she created for Bella’s crocheted hat in the La Push scene from Twilight. I want this hat *and* the mittens! Who else is counting down to New Moon?

Geek Crafts at the State Fair
I went to the Oregon State Fair last weekend and got to see some pretty rad geek crafts there! In the Legos competition, this magnificent Yoda took a second prize.
In the 4-H Hall, this woodburned Twilight plaque won a Blue Award.
The 4-H Ceramics competition spotlighted some gorgeously intricate dragons — both of them took Blue Awards, too.
And I loved these 4-H science-fair projects — the illustrated poster explaining the recycled rocket and the self-starting electric motor were both awesome!
The Oregon State Fair runs through Labor Day — if you’re nearby, don’t miss it! And if you’ve seen (or made!) any other geek crafts at your state fair, I’d love to hear about them too…
UPDATE: Thanks to zebuladesign for sharing her flickr photos of geek crafts at the Michigan State Fair with us!

Carved Twilight Stamp
I *just* emailed my friend Erica tonight about taking a class on stamp carving at Paper-Source in a couple months, so it was super cool to find this on Craftster tonight. chrispykreme carved the apple image from the cover of Twilight as a stamp to use as bookplates. I really want to try this!
Twilight Tote Bag
Craftster ysmeine made this dreamy Twilight tote bag
“from two posters that I got in a magazine. They are covered in vinyl and interfaced, so that it is very sturdy. I used scrap webbing and lining fabric that I had on hand.”
Sorry for the brief teenage girl moment.
Bella’s Mittens from Twilight
All the vampire lovin’ crafters really picked up on Bella’s mittens in Twilight, including Craftster user Ruby Copperhead. She knit this pair for a swap. Click through to see the other side – she embroidered “Vampires Suck” in red thread. I do love a bad pun :)
Twilight Resin Necklace
I wasn’t going to read the Twilight series. I don’t do scary and I figured books about vampires would be scary. But then I caved and became as obsessed as every other teenage girl. Oh, wait, I’m way past “teenage.” Anyway, the books and the movie – I love them, so I was really excited to see this Twilight Resin Necklace that Craftster user merrydeath21 made for her daughter. You can click through to her post to read about how she made it with resin, printed images and a daily pill sorter.
Anyone else have a Twilight craft?
