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!
