Retro Wonder Woman sweater

wonder woman sweater

If you are a dedicated, talented knitter, this gorgeous retro-ish looking Wonder Woman sweater could be yours. The Craftster page explains how it was charted it out, but that’s about it.

I’m afraid it’s not a stitch by stitch instruction kit, and it’s never going to be – I’m don’t have the skills for that. You’re welcome to share my work, but it really is a recipe, not much of a pattern.

Be sure to check out some of the pictures she’s shared of it. There are some gorgeous details in there. I have yet to take up knitting (crochet yes, knitting, no) but I may have just been inspired.

Horseshoes (Not That Kind)

Despite not being a fan of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic (my three-word review: stylish but banal), I absolutely see the appeal of these shoes. They’re nicely done and hilarious. You can buy practically any MLP design, but why would you? It’s Derpy Hooves or nothing, dude. Oh, right—in a nod to the bronies out there, artist Rhonda Savage makes the shoes in any size and in an assortment of styles. Perfect for MLP fans of any age, foot size, or gender.

R2-D2: Safety Droid

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.
