This Baby Tie Fighter project combines two of my favorite things – geek-crafting and crochet. And I love how quick of a project this is – whip up two granny-type motifs and a radishy-looking ball, and boom, you’re done! And you’re off to fight those pesky rebels!
I know we’ve seen crocheted brain slugs on Geek Crafts before, but this one from Knitnut by JL is the cutest yet! Not only is it itty-bitty (and therefore adorable), it’s a hair clip, so you never have to worry about you losing your parasitic accessory.
Halloween is getting closer and closer, so I wanted to celebrate with an homage to one of my favorite horror movies…
They just don’t make them like they used to, right? 1970s horror was great at mixing creep and gore. Shove Mink has more terrifying stuff in her Etsy shop so if horror is your thing, be sure to check it out. These are art pieces, which is one reason why this is not meant for kids. Also nightmares.
Oh, Sex Pistols fans, you’ll find a pretty amazing and twisted memorial there as well.
I thought about posting something about Hobbit Day – since September 22nd is the birthday of both Bilbo and Frodo Baggins – and the movie Facebook Page posted a great How to Throw a Hobbit Day Party guide. But September 22nd is so yesterday, so today I bring to you a Game of Thrones Targaryen House dragonscale bikini top. Because, thanks to the Internet, such a thing exists.
The crafter decided since the Targaryen house symbol is the dragon, and Danerys is the “mother of dragons”, after all, it made sense to create a “scaled” fabric. She also suggests that you “Wear this bikini top with a cute pair of daisy-dukes…people will stop and stare at you as though you had little baby dragons crawling all over your shoulders.” Indeed.
I’ve seen amigurumi sets of dolls for Doctor Who, Star Wars, and Firefly, but this was a new one to me: Dune Sandworm and Muad Dib by smapte on DeviantArt.
Be sure to check out her Gallery of other creations, such as Final Fantasy, Firefly, Mad Men, Li’l Trekkies, and Li’l Losties. Girl’s got mad stitchin’ skilz, yo!

So, if you are a die-hard crocheter, you start thinking about Christmas presents in the summer. You just have to. I have a Dr. Who loving pal in my life, and I came across this great afghan by Craftster user Brackish Potato. It is inspired by the opening scene from Dr. Who where the TARDIS is floating through the time warp/wormhole thingie.
What a great idea right? The afghan looks like it would work up pretty quickly since it’s just a repeating pattern.
