Craftster user shedko247 not only crocheted this awesome Pokemon amigurumi Charizard the dragon, but she posted instructions on her blog, AH! Creations. She’s got more geeky crochet patterns there too, so be sure to check it out.
merricat posted this baby dragon cape she sewed over on Instructables. Click through to see the wings, plus step-by-step photos of how she made the eyes with polymer clay.
I went to the Oregon State Fair last weekend and got to see some pretty rad geek crafts there! In the Legos competition, this magnificent Yoda took a second prize.
In the 4-H Hall, this woodburned Twilight plaque won a Blue Award.
The 4-H Ceramics competition spotlighted some gorgeously intricate dragons — both of them took Blue Awards, too.
And I loved these 4-H science-fair projects — the illustrated poster explaining the recycled rocket and the self-starting electric motor were both awesome!
The Oregon State Fair runs through Labor Day — if you’re nearby, don’t miss it! And if you’ve seen (or made!) any other geek crafts at your state fair, I’d love to hear about them too…
UPDATE: Thanks to zebuladesign for sharing her flickr photos of geek crafts at the Michigan State Fair with us!

This cute little amigurumi dragon was in Craftster shaints first post ever. I can’t wait to see what she posts next!
