Super Mario Sweater Vest
A sweater vest so geeky, and so crafty that it was submitted to us twice by two different people! The Happy Seamstress describes it on her blog as “the nerdiest sweater vest in the world” (because there are really chic, hip sweater vests?). She took a screen shot of Super Mario Bros. , made a pattern and knitted this amazingly geek-tastic Super Mario Sweater Vest for her husband, after dying her own chartreuse yarn to match the pipe and bush perfectly!

Black Crafts for Black Friday
So now that you’ve stuffed your face, it’s time to empty your wallet! Or, if you’re looking to save some cash, it’s time to get crafting! In honor of Black Friday (the shopaholic’s national holiday and every retail worker’s worst nightmare) here are some Black Crafts (note: not Dark Arts, that’s a differnent blog all together).
Chain Chomp Hat
The Knitting Ninja posted this Chain Chomp Hat on her blog. Chomps may not be the most commonly knitted Mario Bros villian, but they are the ones that look the coolest when they appear to be eating your head.
Mad Dog Softie
Morus sewed this Mad Dog Softie from the book “Softies Only A Mother Could Love” and posted it on craftster. He’s not particularly geeky, but he’s freaking adorable in an “I’m gonna bite your face off” sort of way.
