Cthulhu Ski Mask is R’lyeh Creepy
 |
I know, I know the pun doesn’t make sense, but so does Cthulhu. And that’s the theme of this product so I was actually being clever. I just didn’t realize I was being clever that way. And that’s one of the reasons why the folks at Toy Vault are cleverer.… |

Boba Fett Coffee Cup Cozy: Double Tall Fett Latte, Please.
 |
You jeered when he captured Han Solo and loaded him aboard Slave I. You cheered when he fell to his “death” into the Sarlacc pit (even though it was a lame way to die, and it turns out Fett survived after all.) Now be thrilled as Boba Fett keeps your… |

TARDIS Socks: No Bigger on the Inside than Out, Still Bigger at the Calf than Ankle
 |
While I have trouble calling any sock a spin-off sock, that’s what creator and knitter Ellen Botilda calls her TARDIS tribute socks. They were based on another pattern, but slightly altered. Now, all that I have to find is someone who will knit a pair of these for me!… |

 |
I’ve always loved toques, but I have shied away from decorative ones. Check out this Bender toque that was crocheted by hand by Cheewawamomma! You have to admit that Bender is one of the most likable robots on TV, given his sunny disposition. Although I’m not sure if the kid… |

You Can’T Take the Yarn From Me [Firefly]
 |
Maybe I haven’t been looking in the right places, but I haven’t noticed an overwhelming amount of crafts inspired by the tragically short-lived Firefly and the accompanying movie, Serenity…. Even if I had, however, this little knit rendition of the ship would probably trump most of them. |

Noby Noby Hat (and Scarf!)
 |
I’m not even gonna lie: the hat in this post is expensive. At $63, that hat should not only keep my head warm, but also style my hair for me, thus saving precious time in my morning routine. I’m pretty sure that’s not the case. Instead, this hat is imbued… |
