Tumblr user Captain-Rachel has been kind enough to put out patterns to knit all the Avengers as dishcloths. These patterns, include written instructions, and charts so you can have a cloth made with your preferred instructions. The list includes all the Avengers, the team logo, S.H.I.E.L.D logo, and a cleverly designed Coulson logo. All you need for your team of Avengers.

A Stylish Jacket Made From Comic-Con Bags

It’s that time of year again….COMIC-CON!!!!

Amy Ratcliffe at Fashionably Geek, posted, “One of many of my favorite parts about San Diego Comic-Con is seeing what talented cosplayers and creative folk do with the gigantic swag bags that come out each year. I’ve seen them turned into dresses, pants, capes, and now a jacket! I love the styling on this swag bag jacket, and I particularly appreciate the fact that the wearer decided to pair it with a bow tie and a sonic screwdriver.”

Awesome Minecraft Illustration

Minecraft Birthday

Check out this superb Minecraft-inspired birthday card illustration, drawn by Tori for her boyfriend, Iggy, last month.

It’s Iggy, returning home to Tori after a hard day’s digging, in a very boxy world! I think this is seriously cute. While this image isn’t featured on her blog yet, you can keep an eye on Tori’s illustrations at IllustrateTor.wordpress.com.

Iron Man Fan Makes The Best Of a Broken Wrist

Are arm casts some kind of new fashion statement? Just two weeks ago, we had the TARDIS cast. Today, we have an Iron Man glove cast.

I don’t have any info on the designer of this cast; I only know that it came from Buzzfeed. And I’ve decided that if I ever break my arm or wrist, I’m making my cast into Spider-Man’s glove and sleeve.

Knit a Captain Marvel Sweater

I’m am starting quite the collection of sweaters I want to knit because there keep being awesome patterns that I stumble across. Most recently it was coming across a finished Captain Marvel sweater. Then a little while ago, the knitter put up a chart to help make your very own.

What can I say I’m easy to please. Give me a nice bright nerdy sweater and I’m done for. Look at this sweater.
