Fight The Dark Side With The Lightsaber Knitting Needles
Star Wars never stops infiltrating the most odd and unexpected products. With Disney now owning the rights to this incredibly popular franchise, I think we'll see a whole lot more of it too. Sometimes the custom created gear is more impressive than the actual products chosen for release by the copyr ...
Geekify Your Wrists: Knitted Mario Mushroom Pulse Warmers
I'm a big fan of geeky gloves. Since it was 22F (-5.5C) degrees this morning in Atlanta, and I'm still freeeezing my tush off even though I have a little heater under my desk, I thought a post about something warm might be appropriate today.
Adrian Bizilia, the artist who created these, calls the ...
Design Inspiration: 10 Warm & Fuzzy Knitted Muppet Hats
I grew up watching Miss Piggy on television, and to this day, I think she's so much fun. I got to see her in person back in October. I'm not ashamed to say I was right there with all the little kids cheering when she came out on stage at an event in Atlanta. Here on Bit Rebels, we've written about M ...
Cozy Vacation: Stay In This Colorfully Crocheted Hotel Room
Years ago, whenever we thought of knitting or crocheting, we probably thought of little old ladies sitting in rocking chairs with metal knitting needles. However, those days are long gone, and these days even the cool kids on the block are crocheting. Some of the crocheted designs we've featured are ...
Sweaters For Penguins: The World Responds To An Urgent Call
Sometimes the world can be a cruel and harsh place to live in, especially if you are an animal that constantly has to battle disasters that us humans seem to unleash on the world. The fact that we even have animals left is sometimes a miracle when you think about it. We have been able to pollute pre ...
Your Daily Cute: Get Schooled By Some Needle Felted Owls
Needle felting is becoming more and more popular, and looking at these little owls, I can see why. These are definitely the cutest little things I've seen all week. This collection is called "In the schoolyard," and as you see, there are needle felted teachers, students, a headmaster and even a bull ...
10 Crazy Creepy Crocheted Masks
I remember back in the spring I wrote about a website called Brutal Knitting dedicated to very scary and creepy knitted masks and hats by designer Tracy Widdess. I don't know if it's Tracy who actually gets the credit for coming up with such a creative idea, but it seems there is another artist on t ...
Cute Crocheted Craft: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
A few years ago, crocheting, knitting and needle felting were thought of as hobbies for grandmas. We didn't hear much about trendy designs created this way, and surely no hipster or geek would be caught dead with a pair of knitting needles. However, all of that has changed now, and these styles of c ...
Yarn Bombing: A Global Graffiti Phenomenon
I've got another trend alert for you today, and this time, it's a form of beautifully artistic vandalism, art or graffiti (whichever description you prefer) called yarn bombing. I remember reading an article about this a few years ago, but it's definitely becoming more popular now. Yarn bombing can ...
Craft Inspiration: Brain Specimen in a Jar
If you are on the Internet all day like I am, you are probably noticing the same trend as me. Needlefelt is everywhere. I know what you're probably thinking... Needlefelt? It sounds like an old lady craft, like knitting. Well, apparently it isn't. Needlefelt is becoming more and more popular. Needle ...
Brutal Knitting: Don’t Mess With This Yarn
I don't think I've ever seen the words brutal and knitting in the same sentence before. When I think of knitting, I think of sweet grandmas who carry around a little bag with different colors of yarn and knitting needles. I don't usually think of scary masks that might give me nightmares.
This wo ...
Smart Car Snuggie: The Awesome Work Of 20 Knitting Grannies
We have covered a couple of amazing snuggies here on Bit Rebels, and we are not about to stop anytime soon. First it was the splendid and hugely successful "Snuggies For Geeks" article by Diana and after that one I covered the African "Whole Body Snuggies." Now it's time to cover something entirel ...
Dissected Frogs Never Looked So Cute!
When I was in high school, biology was my least favorite subject. I always thought dissecting animals was completely gross, and I felt so bad for them. Somehow their lives ended just so they could lay helpless in that cold metal tray awaiting to be disrespectfully cut up and studied.
Maybe that ...
Knitted Chicken and Steak – Craft Inspiration
What can rival the kind of creative insanity (or genius) required to embroider bread? Knitting slabs of meat and wrapping them up like the butcher, of course!
Pictured below are design student Stephanie Casper's knitted creations including a T-bone steak, a rotisserie chicken, a ham, some sausag ...
Whole Body Snuggies – The Ultimate Geek Garments!
We all remember Diana's wildly successful post about the geek snuggies that were almost too cool to write about. They were as geeky as they were cool and made every geek a potential piece of artwork if you may. The different constellations and concepts were just awesomely out there and they made a ...
