More Geek Knitting

Well in spite of my best efforts I could not find a whole lot of Avengers knitting charts.  So I made two of my own.  I was also inspired to knit a sweater for my friend Habeas Corpsemaker.  She's a roller derby girl with a passion for comics, and she was hit by a car a few days ago.  Her ankle is pretty mangled up and she's not skating let alone walking for a while.  So to cheer her up, I thought I'd knit her a sweater, but not just any sweater, an Iron Man sweater.  So I started looking for a chart.... and there are none.  Or at least none I'm happy with. 

He's just so happy!
Must've found the booze.

Well after turning up nothing, I drafted my own pattern.  I'm pretty happy with it and on a black background it should look pretty kick ass.  I wish I had a better picture with the text at the bottom, but I made this using Excel.  I added a quote from the 3rd movie trailer, "Nothing's been the same since New York..."  This is gonna be an epic sweater, and she better wear it to the movie opening.  I plan on adjusting the colors so it's more deep red and gold and metallic looking.   
Now I like Iron Man just as much as the next girl, but Loki shall always have my heart.  Let's face it ladies, he's a sexy man beastie.  So for all the Hiddleston Fans, I made this:

I just quimed my pants :3

Very basic Loki Helmet Knitting Chart..... KNEEL BEFORE ME YOU SNIVELLING QUIMS!!!  I've gotten good at making the charts pretty quickly, especially when there's only one or two colors.  I happen to like the arc of the horns on the helmet in this pose, cause from a frontal view it's not that noticeable.
I'm always open to suggestions for characters to make charts of... and I can't wait to knit these into sweaters!!
See ya'll Later!

Stitch n' Geek

Recently I've really gotten into more complicated knitting.  I'm always looking for nerdy knitting charts and geeky patterns.  I knitted a baby sweater for my friend.  A BATMAN SWEATER!!  I need to get pictures of her kid in the sweater cause that kid could pass for a baby Bruce Wayne.  Well only if you follow Batman the Animated Series.  But the chart was really good and translated well into a knitted pattern.  I wish I had saved the link to the website I got it from, cause frankly I'm not that good with drafting charts, so the following image is not mine.

I love this chart!!  I can't wait to make myself a sweater with this chart!!!!
I'm trying my hand at drafting a Tardis chart and a Green Lantern.  Both are fairly simple designs and about 2 colors each so it just takes time to get the look right.  While searching the internet I came across an 8 bit version of Guy Fawkes which was pretty awesome and I'd love to make a sweater out of that and found what was labeled as the Stargate eye of Ra:

He's watching you sleep. 

Not too sure if it really is the Stargate Ra symbol or just a standard symbol for Ra, but it still looks cool.  Again I forgot to save a link to give credit to and again it's not my drawing. 
Found a Doctor Who chart here and I think it's cute, but it's not a standard Tardis.

Insert theme song here.

I saw an Ood chart that was 2 colors, but it was so abstract that it almost looked like a mess of squid tentacles more than an actual character.  There are plenty of Mario and Legend or Zelda Triforce charts, but I'm not much of a gamer.  I look more for Star Wars, Star Trek, Doctor Who, and DC/Marvel.  Of course I'm still on the hunt for awesome charts and when I finish off more projects I'll be making a wardrobe of Nerdy sweaters to wear for next, next winter.  

So that's all for now.
See Ya'll Later!

O god this storm. Why?!

Umm, I'm at my sister's apartment, cause she's got power.... and heat, internet, cable and hot showers.  My place was literally colder inside than outside and last night was about 37 degrees F.  I have no photos or tutorials today.  Sad face.  Also work has been impossible to get to due to downed trees/ tree limbs/ power lines, and they lost power too so they're closed.  So I'm out of work and have no heat.  Thank god for sisters with nice apartments.
