I wasn’t able to track down any info on these wonderful rocking tauntauns, but I want one in an adult size for myself! They were posted anonymously to Geek Universe.
Knickertwist over at Craftster posted two awesome BBC version Sherlock crafts that demand to be shared.
First up, her 221B Baker Street Altoid Tin.
You really need to go to her original post, linked above, to see the amazing job Knickertwist did on creating the tiny interior of 221B Baker Street! Let’s just say that it inlcudes furnishings SMALLER than a penny, all of them handmade! But she wasn’t done just yet.
She started getting requests to BUY her tiny little handmade apartment. And she just couldn’t part with it. So, she created a tutorial on how to create your very own (even smaller) 221B Baker Street from a matchbox!
And if you need more of a Knickertwist fix, check out her Pixie Hill blog.
These knitting charts are a great way to place some Minecraft love on anything. Ravelry user Jenna La Due has shared a free set of charts to do with what you will.
She used the charts to make a sweater, but you can see on the project page, that there have been socks and a hat made using these charts.
These two have taken “playing Mario” to a whole new level! (Pun intended.) And thanks to this ingenious creation I finally “get” parkour. I’m still not about to run off the edge of a perfectly good building, but I definitely appreciate the fun side of it now. Remember, don’t try this at home kids!
Mario and Luigi were played by Ronnie Shalviz and Christian Russell of CBR Stunt Team.
How about a little robot love for Valentine’s Day? With just under a month to go, you have just enough time to whip up something for your geeky sweetheart (or yourself!)
I found several cute robot projects so I thought I would do a mini round-up. First we have this adorable Luvbot (pictured above), a knitting pattern available from Anna at Mochimochiland.
Next we have the cute Cara the amigurumi robot from Rachel at CrochetSpot (subscribe to her newsletter to get the pattern for free, plus get a heads up on free patterns every week!)
Another fun amigurumi robot project from Bubblegumbelles on Etsy:
Here’s an advanced-beginner cross-stitch project with a little binary code to say “I love you” in robot – Alicia Watkins has the cross-stitch kit all prepped for you on Etsy.
Then finally we have this fun crochet robot lovey blanket from Sarah at Repeat Crafter Me, so your favorite wee one can cozy up and dream of robot besties!
