Jessica e-mailed me with a link to her new blog, and while checking it out, I landed on this awesome Mario Cross Stitch Collage. There are some great geeky cross stitch projects on Kyoti’s Blog, and some more “traditional” ones, too. Check it out!
Knitter extraordinaire Vickie Howell has designed not one but two awesomely geeky sets of wrist warmers, and both patterns are free online! This week she published the Alice Wrist Warmers pattern over at CRAFT:, inspired by the upcoming New Moon movie… these would be perfect to complete your Twilight-inspired Halloween costume in style!
And her Mario Mushroom Wrist Warmers are a favorite from last year that are just the thing to knit up as the temperature drops. This pattern is available in kids’, women’s or men’s sizes and includes a handy (and cute) charted image for creating your mushroom.
enemyairship just posted for the first time on Craftster and she’s starting off good! She crocheted this 8-bit Mario Raccoon (my favorite Mario!) rug as a birthday present for her boyfriend. And it’s huge – 7 feet! Click through for some in progress photos as well as how she went about making this with granny squares.
Big thanks to everyone who submitted a geek craft! Through the very scientific process of my husband and I picking the entries we liked best, here are the winners:
ICandee made this scene from Mario Brothers in polymer clay.
Tae submitted this absolutely amazing Millennium Falcon cake on Ace of Cakes. How could anyone stand to cut this one up?
This very cute crocheted Pi symbol was made by Alicia Kachmar and submitted by Taine HR.
JasonT was inspired by a project on the Star Wars Kids Craft blog and made his own Bantha plushie.
LyricalDevil submitted this Zelda Triforce drink, recipe by The Domestic Scientist. I think this is the first beverage we’ve had on Geek Crafts.
Taine HR, Lyrical Devil, JasonT, Tae and ICandee – send your real name and address to shayne@geekcrafts.com so I can send you your prize packs!
Craftster user sarahmakes used a pattern from Sprite Stitch to cross-stitch this history of Mario for her brother. I love Mario as a raccoon… what’s your favorite Mario?
There’s a lot of cute things posted on Craftster tonight. For your geeky consideration, here is an Amigurumi Mario made by Catriunau. The embroidery floss mustache is really amusing me.
