Space invaders socks

Continuing on the sock theme by extending the space invaders collection. These colorful space invaders socks are made from thick yarn. Maybe not perfect for the upcoming spring, but can of course be used as slippers inside.

This temporarily closes the space invaders theme as I have made all kinds of accessories in the theme. I am currently looking for new ideas and inspiration for things to do so stay tuned for more nerdy knitting =)

8-bit mushroom socks

Finally I've come around to finish up the mushroom collection series. Since socks most often are more prone to wearing out I have used a more robust yarn, making the colors different from the ones on the previous projects. I don't really mind that as I'm more into this kind of green =)

The pattern is (as always) available at Ravelry.

Do you think I have missed anything for the mushroom collection that I should make?

Space invaders mittens

Spring is coming and that means that the need for really warm mittens is decreasing. By making fingerless mittens however you can still keep your hands warm enough while still enjoying the feeling of the sun on the fingers. Also, making mittens without fingers are much easier and faster than mittens with fingers.
If it's not cold enough outside, it might be cold inside and mittens like these are perfect for keeping the hands warm while working.
I'm really getting my knitting speed up and these took only three evenings to start and complete. =)

Check out this and all my other patterns at Ravelry.

Space invaders scarf

Made this scarf to complement the previously made headband (and wristband). The double knitting technique makes the scarf thick and keeps the neck and head warm even the coldest winter days.

Will probably make some more parts for the space invader series as it is a quite simple pattern with only two colours.

NES controller headband

The winter season is ending, but the patterns keep on coming up. There's probably going to be a winter again some time so it's always good to prepare.

This week I've published a pattern of the classic NES controller as a headband. I struggled a bit with this at first as I prefer to knit in the round. The nature of this pattern however did not really fit that method so I had to go for a back-and-forth approach. Really happy with the result.

Keep on knitting!

Zelda triforce wristband

The 30th anniversary celebration of Zelda continues with this simple wristband. Feel the courage, power and wisdom around your wrist.

The pattern is available for free at Revelry.

Zelda triforce headband

The week that passed Zelda turned 30 years old. Zelda is by far my favourite series of games growing up and I still hold the SNES version as the best game ever. One of the most recognised symbols for the series is of course the triforce, so for the 30th anniversary I made some Zelda stuff, starting off with this triforce headband. More will be added in the upcoming weeks and I hope we will continue to enjoy Zelda games for another 30 years =)
