This Baby Tie Fighter project combines two of my favorite things – geek-crafting and crochet. And I love how quick of a project this is – whip up two granny-type motifs and a radishy-looking ball, and boom, you’re done! And you’re off to fight those pesky rebels!
…but if you’ve got a baby in your future and an itch to knit…you can have a little knit Link in time for Halloween 2013. There is a free pattern on Ravelry, so what are you waiting for?
We’re planning a big re-launch of Geek Crafts in the new year- it’s going to be fantastic.
What do we need from you? Your awesome writing skills! We’re looking to add some new writers to the team. If you think you can do it, then we would like you to send us a sample post to geekcrafts@gmail.com. You must be excellent at proof-reading and editing, comfortable with WordPress enough to post with images, have software and knowledge to re-size images and be able to post at least once a week on a predefined day of the week. Of course you must be geeky and crafty. And proof-read, proof-read, proof-read.
We look forward to seeing what you’ve got!!
Stay Awesome,
Redd
I know, I know, I keep posting about R2-D2, but I can’t help it. Artoo is so endearing and apparently lends himself to craft projects. Anyway, this time I stumbled across this awesome R2-D2 bike helmet, made by pastry artist, illustrator, and all-around crafty gal Jenn Hall. There is some controversy about the safety of the dimensional restraining bolt, should Jenn actually fall, but it looks amazing. And, since she made the helmet last year, hopefully she’s had time to sort out the safety issues. It is pretty phenomenal, though.
…to my husband regarding Christmas presents. Trev, seriously, I must have one of these. I can’t think of a more thoughtful gift for a stylish bibliophile (oh wait, there is one more, I’ll get it it next week.)
Karen H has an Etsy shop called Novel Creations with tons of great-looking purses made of book covers. I spent a bit of time pondering whether one should go for their hands-down very favorite book, or the one that looks best and goes with your wardrobe best. I think this cover of To Kill a Mockingbird might do both. I’m also pretty in love with the vintage Dracula one. I don’t know… I want most of these….
Ms. H. will assemble these with your choice of fastener and handles.
I know we’ve seen crocheted brain slugs on Geek Crafts before, but this one from Knitnut by JL is the cutest yet! Not only is it itty-bitty (and therefore adorable), it’s a hair clip, so you never have to worry about you losing your parasitic accessory.
