Knitted Chicken Hats: Chick Couture

Posted on by

Because no chicken should have to cock-a-doodle-doo with a cold head, Etsy shop ChixStitch is selling these knitted chicken hats with ties for your fine feathered friends. They look cozy, don’t they? I don’t even own any chickens, and I’m tempted to buy a few in the event life throws me a curveball in the form of live chickens I need to mother. Hey, stranger things have happened.

Available in a variety of colors, the chicken caps are priced at a very reasonable $6.95. Granted, I’m saying that’s reasonable, but I’ve never been in the chicken hat buying market before, so I really have no frame of reference. Sounds fair enough, though. I’m going to knit a human-sized version for myself, so I can match my potential future chicken children!

Couple them with some chicken arms, and your poultry will have never looked so good! Of course, if you own more than one chicken, you are required to buy arms and hats for them all, so they don’t get jealous and… peckish.

Horror Movie Vinyl Figures That Look Knitted: Killer Crafts

Posted on by

Created by vinyl figure producer Handmade By Robots, this series of collectible vinyl figures features horror movie villains in the style of knitted dolls. They’re not knitted though, they’re plastic, and I’m not sure I’d want any of them staring at me from a bedroom shelf at night, no matter how cute they are.

Available in Ghost Face, Pennywise, Hannibal Lecter, and Leatherface varieties, the $14 toys sit approximately 5″ tall and are just the thing to add a little horror to your everyday life. Me? My everyday life is already filled with enough horror. Just getting out of bed in the morning is enough to make me scream. Especially if the floor is cold, and the floor is always cold.

My grandma knit me a doll for a birthday when I was a child, and, if I’m being completely honest, it looks even scarier than any of these do, and it was supposed to be a friendly bear. It looks more like a zombie bear now. Time has not been kind to Honey. None of my dogs have been either.

Panda Mask

This has probably got to be the most adorable ski mask ever. Dubbed as the Pandito, this balaclava will transform the wearer into a panda-esque bandit of sorts, providing ample protection against the harsh cold and the elements. Whether you’re going hiking or skiing or running a few errands outdoors, the Pandito makes it anything but blandito (pardon the forced pun!)

Slide on our brand new Pandito balaclava and boost your Tai Chi skills to level 11. Comes in handy when flying wuxia style through bamboo forests with Ziyi Zhang.

The Pandito is available online from Blamo Toys for $40.

The Force is With This 30-Foot ‘Star Wars’ Tapestry

Star Wars Tapestry

If you love something, then whatever you do, no matter how tiring it is, becomes a labor of love. This is the case with artist Aled Lewis and the Coruscant Tapestry, the 30-foot Star Wars-themed tapestry that he knitted over a span of six months. It’s crammed with Jedi goodness and loads of Wookies, droids, wampas, Sith Lords, and of course, everyone’s favorite grand master Jedi, Yoda, along with highlights from the franchise that die-hard fans will be able to identify in a jiffy.

Every stitch on the Klostern fabric was made by hand and Aled’s attention to detail is amazing. Not only that, but he also sewed in some quotes written in Aurebesh.

The Coruscant Tapestry is currently on display at Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles. It’s for sale for a whopping $20,000.

Fingerless Mittens with Spiky Scales: Glove Puppet

Posted on by

These neat knitted mittens by Etsy seller HotScones add +2 to warmth and +5 to charisma. They’re made of alpaca fleece and wool. Probably from a wool dragon. I see a lot of potential in this. Instead of settling for a generic dragon or dinosaur look, why not go for a specific item? We can have Wolverine mittens, Omni-tool mittens, PIP-Boy mittens…

Ryu mittens, Kazuya Mishima mittens, Infinity Gauntlet mittens…

Shin Megami Tensei gauntlet mittens, Mega Buster mittens, Power Glove mittens… the possibilities are endless. You can order the HotScones’ mittens from her Etsy shop for around $43 (USD) to $48 per pair. Unfortunately the green ones shown here are sold out as of this writing. Even more unfortunate, my awesome ideas for mittens don’t exist yet.

‘My Knitted Boyfriend’: At Least This Guy Won’t Open His Big Mouth

Posted on by

Being single can suck, especially when all of your friends already have plus one’s. Artist Noortje de Keijzer found a way around this not by joining online dating sites or by going on blind dates, but by knitting her own boyfriend.

Yes, you read that right: she knitted one.

Knitted Boyfriend

Obviously, she doesn’t have Geppetto’s power, so her knitted boyfriend isn’t alive. But since it’s actually a cushy bodysuit, any guy can wear it and make the suit come alive – or better yet, it can just be filled with stuffing if you’d prefer the strong and silent type.

Knitted Boyfriend1

So far, Noortje has knitted two boyfriends: Arthur, who was born knitted on September 14, 2009, has white skin, dark brown hair and black knickers; while Steve, born knitted on September 27, 2011, has dark brown skin, black hair and beige knickers.

How’s that for a kooky graduation project?

‘My Knitted Boyfriend’ Bodysuit Turns Any Guy Into Your Knitted Boyfriend

Posted on by

My Knitted Boyfriend2

I’ve seen my fair share of kooky bodysuits, but this one is just ridiculous. Ridiculously funny, that is. It’s called ‘My Knitted Boyfriend’ and it was created lovingly by Noortje de Keijzer. It’s not the only one of its kind, as Noortje has said that she has already knitted two of these ‘so far’. You can probably expect more knitty men to come your way when she finds the time to knit them.

It’s only proper that they get names, since they’re knitted boyfriends and all. Knitted on September 14th, 2011, Arthur has white skin, dark brown hair, and black knickers. Knitted two weeks later was Steve, who has dark brown skin, black hair, and beige knickers.

Each of these bodysuits can be worn by actual dudes. Or you can just fill them up with stuffing or pillows if you don’t have a real man in your life.

Dalek Hat Exterminates Wind Chill

Posted on by

So the latest season of Doctor Who kicked off last week with a Dalek episode. And if you saw it, you already know that this episode breaths new life into the Daleks and takes them from being a silly overused villain to making them multi-dimensional bad guys. Well, I can’t think of a better time to buy oneself a Dalek hat.

This neat Dalek hat comes from Nerdy Needles Knitting who makes many knitted Dalek hats in a variety of colors. The real Daleks now come in a plethora of colors after all. (They also offer TARDIS hats if you’re rooting for the good guys.)

The Dalek hat will keep you warm and cozy whether you are battling the Doctor or just wasting away on a Dalek Asylum planet. Just $36(USD).

Knitted Borg Hat Will Assimilate Your Head

Posted on by

Although the weather is warmer now, the Borg don’t care. They will still assimilate you and put this knitted Borg hat on your head, making you one of them and keeping your head warm and toasty.

Redditor k80k80k80 recently posted this kinda cute/ kinda creepy, but totally awesome knitted Borg hat. It goes by the designation 2 of 7. When you wear it you will be assimilated and become part of the collective. Resistance is futile. You will say things like “I am Lo-craft-us of Borg.”

It is super cool. I would wear this constantly during the winter months if I had one. Of course I would need to wear an all black outfit to really make it look authentic. I’m kind of surprised we haven’t seen one like this before. Awesome work, k80k80k80. Now how do you pronounce that?
