Friday Roundup – This 99 Cent App Has Taken Over

Friday Roundup

Just one more… Hmm? What? … Yes, yes, I know it’s almost time for the Friday Roundup. Just wanted to finish this lev… I am not! No way I’m addicted to… What? Just pause it and do the round up? Okay, but I’m not addicted to it!

Sorry, guess I had lost tract of time but never fear, for the Friday Roundup is loaded with some amazing patterns to create some fabulous Angry Birds creations (and I am not addicted).

Emjay Bailey, otherwise known as Nerdigurumi has crochet patterns available for free for both the Angry Red Cardinal and the Green Pig.

Knitter can find patterns for the pair as well as the Angry Yellow Bird at Knitterbee‘s blog.

Crocheters do not dispair because Laura Chua offers us a free download for the Angry Yellow Bird.

Michele Villa offers a pattern for a crocheted Angry Birds Cozy which can be adapted to size.

Crafts by Starlight has a pattern for a crocheted Angry Bird Black Bird Hat. There are also links there for several other Angry Bird hats as well.

Lii Yan seems to have some sympathy for those frustrating Green Pigs and gives us a pattern for a hat.

Not into hats? Then how about an Angry Birds Tissue Box Cover by Donesia Margolis?

Suzy Vitale has created charts for knitting of the Red and Black Angry Birds.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some pigs to destroy… Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Robot Skin!

How cool is this? Check out this AMAZING open source robot skin from Instructables Member Plusea.

Of course it would be awesome for robots to have skin. I can see this also for a lot of other uses. Maybe a body suit video game controller. Maybe a sweater that keeps track of your body temperature and outside temp. What can you think of?

Check out more robots on Geek Crafts.

Awesome Librarian Etsy Treasury

That’s an awesome librarian Etsy treasury, not an awesome librarian Etsy treasury, if you know what I mean. I’m not here to brag; I’m here to share fun librarian-themed crafts!

(Also, sorry for the short post. I’m off to a library conference first thing in the morning! … Now you know where I got the idea.)

Fascinating… (And Logical)

In truth, I don’t need a Spock quilt. However, if I did, Fascinating… quilt would be my choice. I love how it looks pixelated and slightly abstract but still clearly conveys Spock. And, according to quilter funthreads, it’s a great way to use leftover scraps of fabric. See? That is logical. Spock would approve.

Tutorial Tuesday: Hollow Book Giftbox!

I just love the secret agent element to Franki’s hollowed out book tutorial.

If you’re giving a friend a gift in one of these home-made giftboxes, I wholeheartedly suggest you wear a mac and dark glasses meet aforementioned friend in a park at dusk. “You’ve never seen me, right!?” haha.

But seriously I’d love to make something like this as jewelery box…. excellent idea!

Final Fantasy Scarf

I have many fond memories of playing Final Fantasy on the original Nintendo Entertainment System, and of never actually finishing the game. I eventually did finish the game, when I was in my early twenties, but I can remember always reaching the point where I would get my Airship and then be devastated by the opportunities before me. There was so much I could do, and so I did nothing.

Now I can relive my indecision with this amazing scarf by doctormoo on Etsy, featuring all of your favorite sprites from the original game.

Go see the scarf now!
