This Hooded Scarf Makes You Look Like An Ewok

Posted on by

ionp_sw_ewok_knit_hooded_scarf

With the release of The Force Awakens barely a month away, Star Wars fever is at an all time high. So of course the merchandising machine is running full steam. With it being the Holiday season, it’s practically hysterical. There won’t be any surprise then that we see stuff like the Star Wars Ewok Knit Hooded Scarf popping up. It’s a cute piece of clothing that presumably will keep you warm while also sort of making you look like an Ewok. You won’t fool anyone into thinking you’re an actual Ewok, however, because you don’t look ike George Lucas and everyone knows he made those in his image. Well, maybe he didn’t but I always thought he looked like an Ewok. Amirite? Anyone?

Ok, I’ll show myself out. But not before telling you the thing is $25.

KO Christmas with This Street Fighter Ugly Sweater

Posted on by

I don’t know about you, but to me Christmas is all about Street Fighter. Maybe that’s because I celebrate Festivus, and we perform feats of strength all through the day. So Street Fighter is a big part of the holiday, naturally. That said, this ugly Christmas sweater is the perfect outfit for me.

This official Capcom sweater is a real knitted sweater too – not just printed on. This Christmas, put on your sweaters and fight to the death. Ok, maybe not to the death. Just remember, the loser gets no presents and has to clean up all of the ripped wrapping paper.

Merry Christmas to all and to all a good… FIGHT!

Knitted Food is Extremely High in Fiber

Posted on by

While I prefer to eat actual food, I have to say these hand-knit lambswool foodstuffs look pretty awesome too. They’re made by artist Jessica Dance, and definitely are definitely making me hungry just looking at them.

If you’re wondering what makes them look so appetizing, it’s that Jessica worked with food photographer David Sykes to help style and compose the plush foods into just the right mouth-watering poses.

Knit Sarlacc Pit Hand Puppet: Where’s Boba Felt?

Posted on by

Hand puppets are fun for kids, but these knitted toys really don’t quite hold the appeal today that they had in say, the 1500′s. So, how do you jazz up hand puppets so that people actually want to play with them today? Star Wars of course. More specifically, a Sarlacc pit.

sarlacc knit

Everyone wants to stick their hand inside a pit with a giant freaky monster living inside of it. Go ahead, put it on your hand and chomp down that Boba Fett figure. While you’re at it, go for young Anakin, and really get Jar Jar good. And Sarlacc pits love Ewoks too!

The knit Sarlacc pit hand puppet was made by pandacatification and unlike the real thing, it won’t need a thousand years to digest it’s victims. Take it to the beach and bury it, surprising your friends.

Ewok Hat: Yub Nub for Your Noggin

Posted on by

These days, most of us think of the Ewoks as cute and endearing little fellows, but I remember when Return of the Jedi came out, there was an uproar over the addition of these furry creatures to the Star Wars universe. In fact, I’ve long held the theory that George Lucas introduced Jar-Jar Binks so we would forget all about the Ewoks.

But if you’re on Team Ewok, here’s something you might want to buy to show your support.

This Ewok hat was created by textile artist Mary Gauvin, and is perfect for camouflaging your Jedi younglings when they first land on Endor to help destroy any newly-erected Imperial shield generators. As a bonus, it’ll also keep their heads warm on Hoth. It’s also the perfect gift  if you’re best friends with Warwick Davis.

Hop on your speeder bike and fly through the forest to Etsy if you want one.

It’s Dangerous to Go Alone! Take This Throw.

Posted on by

It’s probably the most oft repeated seven-word phrase in the history of gaming – but the admonition by the old man in The Legend of Zelda are wise words for life in general. After all, you should always bring a trusty companion on your life’s adventures.

With the help of this handmade throw from Penelope and Clyde, you’ll be able to cuddle up under this pixelated prose whenever you nod off or need to keep warm in your cold dungeon. The 4’3″ wide by 3’4″ long throw is made from acrylic yarn, love and a big bag of pixels.

So grab your sword and shield and battle your way through some Octoroks on the way to Etsy, where you can grab this for $160(USD). Now when are they going to make this version?

Geeky Mosaic Blanket: It’s Hip to Be Squares

Posted on by

No matter what kind of geek you are or what you are into, you will find something to love on this awesome knitted blanket. Ravelry member Leilaniac designed it in Excel and then knitted it with Shibui Knits sock yarn.

It has everything that any self respecting geek could want. There are Cylons, Spock’s hand, the TARDIS, squares devoted to cats, dinosaurs, Serenity, the Millenium Falcon proclaiming that Han shot first and more. Oh, and the center square is binary for the name of Leilaniac’s nephew, who she made this blanket for.

This blanket will not only keep you warm, but it will also warm your geek heart.

Knit Star Trek Uniform Covers Go Where No iPad Case Has Gone Before

Posted on by

Tablets, the final frontier. These are the clothes of the Apple iPad… No, really. These cool knitted Star Trek uniform tops are designed for your iPad to wear. They are made by Etsy seller KnitterWho, who is just a simple tailor, not a Cardassian spy.

It’s fitting (pun intended) that the iPad gets some Next Generation crew uniforms since the iPad first appeared on Star Trek: The Next Generation in the 24th century.

You can choose from several custom iPad covers styled like the uniforms of the Enterprise-D’s bridge crew. There’s Worf’s uniform with the sash, Command red, medical blue, security yellow, and the oh-so-special Wesley jumpsuit.

They’re all available over on Etsy, and sell for between $25 and $30(USD).

28-Foot Long Fourth Doctor Who Scarf: Is It Long Enough?

Posted on by

Like many of you out there, my favorite Doctor Who is the fourth one, who was played by Tom Baker. He’s quintessentially the Doctor Who for me, because I used to watch him as a kid on PBS. One of the coolest features of Tom Baker’s incarnation was his impossibly long scarf. Alex decided to make one for himself – though at 28-feet, 1-inch-long, it is slightly exaggerated.

It’s somewhat cumbersome, but it’s the Fourth Doctor, so how can you go wrong? Oh, and that length doesn’t include tassels. At this size, I’m sure this scarf could double as coat, wrap or maybe even a TARDIS cozy.

Alex needs to make more, and sell them because I’d get one for sure. I suppose you could also recruit your grandma or mother to knit you one.
