crochet on Technabob...

Gege Crochet loves scarves. I think “scarves” is a weird word. Fortunately Gege’s scarves are anything but weird, like this nice Princess Toadstool scarf.

She said that she made this scarf to complement a Mario scarf that she also made. But then she didn’t like the back of the scarf…

…and maybe ever…. What makes this particular example of Star Wars amigurumi better than, say, crochet slave Leia or an adorable Chewbacca? Buttons and fittings. Oh, not just the little shiny button eyes–those are common, and this R2D2 has his own. No, it’s the other details that make this

Scarves are pretty popular as the geekier crafts go, with everything from the real Punch-Out!! (in the Mike Tyson days) to Space Invaders getting the wintry neckwear treatment. But few examples can match both the artistry and dedication that went into creating this Guitar Hero… scarf.

So why is this

It’s official: amigurumi can make anything cute, from vomiting zombies to, well, just about everything… in Moon Yen’s “Moon Buns” crochet series. The Moon Buns are all bunnies, sure, but not just any bunnies. These little guys have the soft bodies and long ears… as well as pins stuck in

Let’s be frank here: Left 4 Dead’s… zombies are kind of gross. There’s the Smoker, who has a truly gargantuan tongue that shoots out, often from some distance, only to wrap you in deadly zombie saliva, and there’s the Boomer, whose projectile vomit summons a flood of other undead, and

Now, instead

These robotroyshka dolls are one tricky mashup: they combine Russian nesting dolls, crochet, and robots into one deliciously adorable blend.

I spotted these on the crafster forums. The ever-clever RhymeswOrange crocheted them by hand, and each one has a different felty face! My favorite has got to be this guy…

I can’t decide if these Pac-Man skull caps are awesome or just weird. Let’s just go with awesomely weird. The colorful ghosts of video games past make yet another appearance, this time as crocheted hats.

Crafter ShadowsInTheNyte hand knits these goofy ghost hats to look like familiar video game characters.…

I’ve been keeping my eyes on the work in progress for this impeccable Super Mario Brothers… afghan throw, and I’m happy to report that the masterpiece is finally complete.

It took North Carolina crafter Tracy Thomasson (aka ‘thomcatdesigns’) 71 days to crochet this beauty, featuring the likenesses of Mario, Koopa

Who says that Star Wars… has to be all about manly things like lightsabers, Death Stars and Darth Vader? Why can’t it be about butterflies, puppies and playing with dolls?

Crafter Sammi Resendes of Geek Central Station sure thinks that the classic sci-fi epic can be just as sweet as
