I never thought I’d want to cuddle Deathwing until I saw this epic amigurumi made by Songs4Drowning on Craftster.
Using a basic dragon pattern, Songs4Drowning did a bit of editing and came up with this great amigurumi Deathwing for a World of Warcraft swap.

Crafty Butterfly made this cute horrifying Cthulhu teapot cozy for her husband. He has a teapot at work, where he does “Geeky Stuff…should be a big hit and earn him some more geek cred”. Looks perfect to me! She combined two patterns to make it (which are here and here), making a few alterations herself.
As soon as I saw this Phantom of the Opera plushie, I fell in love. Created my Lita Mitchell of Custom UFO Catchers, this plushie even has a removable mask. Mitchell’s site has dozens upon dozens of custom dolls from every fandom one can imagine; she also accepts custom commission.
I dream of the day I have the spare money to buy one of my very own. Yes, I’m 23 years old and my fondest wish is to cuddle with this little plushie Phantom.
Have you always dreamed of your name or favourite word written out using the Periodic Table of Elements? Of course you have!
Well now, thanks to Shop Gibberish, your dreams can come true!
They can make your word into a snazzy pendant or magnet if you aren’t a necklace wearing kind of person.
With the premiere of the movie Thor this week, I thought I’d highlight some viking crafts. As my paternal grandfather was a full-blood Swede, I think it only fitting, ja? :)
Chandra Willis created a stylish infant-toddler viking helmet (though her model does not appear to agree) – find her knitting pattern at Hot Potato Knits.
Yarn manufacturer Bernat offers a crochet version of a warrior baby helmet (Ravelry link, login required), with which I am completely in love, and which has me eying every baby head in near vicinity with crafting glee.
Traci Heiner worked up a pattern for a dishcloth featuring Thor’s Hammer – known as Mjolnir – and kindly provides a link to the Wikipedia entry to learn more about its symbolism.
NeedleNoodles offers an amigurumi viking pattern (left), as a free expansion pack pattern to her Creepy Cute Crochet book.
In the new-to-me craft category, a Viking Knitting tutorial from janraven on Etsy. Since the tutorial features 75 photo step-outs, it’s probably a good thing janraven also offers the finished Viking Knit Hoop earrings in her Etsy shop.
And finally, Cheryl Herrick (aka “crankycheryl”) shares her version of a Viking birthday party, complete with duct tape Viking helmets, a catapault, and a Viking long boat made of chocolate chip pound cake. Complete epic-ness.
Oh, and a side geek-note? Chris Hemsworth, the actor who is playing Thor in the forthcoming movie, also played George Kirk in the 2009 reboot of Star Trek, and is currently working on Joss Whedon‘s Avengers, also as Thor. Nice.
