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.

KNITTING
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!
