Tutorial Tuesday! Monster “Ninni” plush and pattern

On February 25, 2009 blog and shop, RevoluzZza published a tutorial for a simple monster plush.  (S)he is called Ninni, isn’t (s)he adorable? ok, yea, but here’s what really makes it a Geekcraft.

Ninni is open source! Since the tutorial was published in 2009 over a hundred people have contributed their own interpretations of Ninni in the RevoluzZza Flikr Pool. I love it when the internet helps spread creativity like that!

Here’s another cool thing that’s happening in the evolution of Ninni. Craftster users Susanab and Leslieshappyheart are currently organising a Ninni swap! In this swap, Craftsters are being challenged to reinterpret the Ninni pattern to suit their partner. Another way that the internet is using the Ninni pattern to breed creativity on an international level.

Creativity is awesome. Ninni is awesome. The internet is awesome.

Chlamydia Plushie

Isn’t that just the cutest little STD? Okay, I admit, you don’t usually hear the words “chlamydia” and “cute” in the same sentence, but that’s really what makes this little guy so special. For seven bucks and shipping, scientificculture will send you this adorable Chlamydia Plushie, plus a name tag and a little fact sheet.  And really, if that isn’t enough, here’s a portion of the sales pitch:

The overwhelming cuteness of Chlamydia trachomatis is sure to compliment any room, office, or workspace without the painful pathogenic reality of the real thing. Makes a great gift for friend and foe alike.
