We’re pretty impressed with this crocheted Tie Fighter by deviantartist Tiamat-Creations — but we’re even more impressed by the number of other geeky crafts in her deviant gallery! Check it out! (Especially this plush BitTrip Runner)
Damn, and I was feeling pleased with myself that I’d figured out how to crochet arm warmers this morning. I wanna do something epic like this now.
So the strangest thing happened today. A guy came to our door and told us he was the Christmas Tree inspector. At first we were a bit skeptical, but he showed us his papers and they looked official enough so we let him in.
So, he goes straight to the tree and starts going on and on about angels, until he finds a small one, in the back. It was grey and its hands were covering its eyes. He seemed pretty pleased to find it and pulled some kind of flashlight, which he said was a screw driver, out of the pocket of his coat and turned it on.
Then he announced he was going to need to take the angel with him. Well we figured we’d better have a photo of the ornament just in case we needed to identify it later. So my roomate managed to distract him with her basket of fish and chips and a cup of pudding, of all things, while I snapped this photo.
Then he took the ornament and just disappeared.
You know, my roommate and I have been racking our brains all evening and for the life of us we can’t figure out where the angel came from. We don’t remember putting it on the tree but it was there just the same.
Very strange.
The Super Hero Disguise Hat
This is a project for my alternate media class. The only requirement is we had to come up with 1000 of something. So there are at least 1500 stitches of some sort or another in this hat. The mask is anchored in back by two cords/buttons so that it can flip up and down and stay in place. The ears anchor to the head by a single button. The black lends its self to disguising the ear flaps and mask and I don’t think I could pull it off with any other color.
The hat was created freeform using no patterns.
