Julia Child Amigurumi
I guess this isn’t geeky, but I love it so I’m sharing it anyway. Another great one from ZaneyMcBanes – a Julia Child amigurumi! Bon appetit!

Craftster user elmooro needed ornaments for her first Christmas tree so she made two geeky ornaments – Golden Snitches from Harry Potter and Tribbles from Star Trek!

Pac Man Felted Wool Mittens
It’s definitely winter around here, and so, I think it is safe to say it’s “mitten season”. These Pac Man Felted Wool Mittens by EnviroCrafter are super awesome and look super warm. Not only that, but they are “green“, as they were made from felted wool from recycled sweaters and lined with new polar fleece insides! These are an awesome gift for the warm mitten loving, Pac Man aficionado in your life.

Space Invaders Star Wars Mashup Skateboard
I recently featured a Blackberry case made by a follower of geek crafts on twitter, Dawn Crawford. Being the good wife that she is, she made her husband, Brian Crawford send us a couple submissions as well, and so we thank her, because this Space Invaders Star Wars Mashup Skateboard he made for the Bordo Bello fundraiser for the arts this year is just awesome. Not only did he take inspiration from the awesome Space Invaders 8-bit look, but he incorporated into a Star Wars theme, and if that wasn’t enough for you, this baby lights up!
Pictures don’t really do this beauty justice, so be sure to check out their husband & wife craft blog Crap I Make to see the video Dawn shot of her hubby’s most excellent creation!

Crocheted Mooninites
My favorite character on Aqua Teen Hunger Force isn’t Meatwad or even Hand Banana (although he is a close second). No, my favorites are The Mooninites, so I *love* these crocheted versions of Ignignokt and Err by Craftster user chloeheartsowls.
