In honor of Doctor Who airing in the US last night, I decided to post this K-9 Papercraft Model that Tektonten built and featured on his blog. He got the slightly improved pattern from Huxter, which you can find here.
So I’ll just come out and say it, as far as Star Wars goes, ewoks are my favorite. Normally, I like the tough heroic types, or the super villains, but in Star Wars, I love ewoks. So when I was cruising the Star Wars Blog and saw this adorable Wicket the Ewok Amigurumi made by Angry Angel on craftster, I was smitten. The even more adorable part? She crocheted this cute little guy for her own cute little guy, and you can recreate it with her patterns!
Carey Huffman of Full Of Fluff made these awesome Crocheted Pac Man Toys for a friend, and now the world is knocking down her door for the pattern (which you can find on her blog). Now, I know I posted a Pac Man craft just a couple days ago, but have you looked at these guys? They are so cute and full of win! I can see hours of entertainment for both me and my cats if I had these babies around (although I might just put them on my desk where they can look cool). (via shinyshiny).
The Super Colossal Crafty Wonderland sale is coming up this Sunday in Portland, Oregon, and there will be some fantastic geeky crafts for sale!
My Imaginary Boyfriend will have her screenprinted + embroidered robot ornaments there (I bought one from her at Felt Club two years ago and it is one of my all-time favorite holiday finds),
Berkley Illustration will have plenty of superhero artwork (like this Captain Burnside print),
Leethal will be selling her excellent Game Knitting ebook,
and Bread and Badger will have astronaut etched glassware!
If you’re not in Portland, no worries, all of these crafters have their work available online as well – click the photos or see the list of links below.
p.s. If you are coming to the sale, please stop by the craft demo area between 1 and 2:30 to make a set of button hairclips with me! Maybe some evil buttons?
Amy submitted these great Day of the Tentacle Amigurumi and I just love them. She made them for her boyfriend, who ranks Day of the Tentacle among his favorite video games, and provided the pattern for free on her blog. If you’re not sure what Day of the Tentacle is, check out the blog entry where Amy explains the great 90’s video game by LucasArts.
If there’s one thing I adore more than penguins, it is baby penguins! This cute little crocheted chick’s fluff almost looks real! Kendraic posted this Baby Penguin Amigurumi with a pattern on instructables, so you know where to go if you’d like to make this for me.
