Hasta La Gadget!

Teenage Mutant Ninja Snails are just like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. They can be found in sewers, and I bet they love pizza too. Sadly, they can’t reach their weapons. And bad guys can always track them by their slime trail.

We’ve seen a variety of awesome crocheted items, mostly hats and amigurimi based on fictional characters. But artist Shanell Papp is more interested in real human beings. More specifically, what’s inside of us. Back in 2006, Papp crocheted LAB, a life-size skeleton with organs.

In an interview with Order of the Good Death, Papp mentioned a variety of reasons why she made LAB. She says that she’s into “death, medicine and horror”, and growing up was very curious about what our insides are like and what each part does. Aside from looking at anatomical textbooks, Papp actually borrowed a human skeleton to use as a reference when she was making LAB. All in all it took her 8 months to finish her work.

He’s ready for CSI: LittleBigPlanet. I highly suggest you check out the full interview on the Order of the Good Death. Papp has more pictures of LAB on her blog.

Wanna know what it’s like to wear a butt of jokes on your head? Here you go. This crocheted hat featuring the most useless piece of carp in the Pokémon franchise was made by Etsy seller Savannah Mitchell aka corlista.

The hat measures 20″ and does not even know Splash. But wear it enough times and one day you could have a dragon on your head. I don’t know if that’s a better look though.

Corlista made the hat in the pictures expressly for one customer, but I’m sure if you contact her she could be persuaded to spawn more. That would make her the first successful Magikarp salesperson.

When you don’t have a TARDIS with which to travel through time and space, the next best thing might be a TARDIS shaped blanket. Instead of walking into the TARDIS and hitting some controls, you can just get in and pull this blanket over your head and let your dreams take you to distant alien worlds for adventure.

This blanket was made by Kristi from RainyMondayTumblr. It’s over 7.5-feet-long and has some nice extra touches. The windows and light glow in the dark, and the light itself was made with sparkly fabric. This thing took about two months to make.

The person who received this blanket is one lucky so and so. I wish I could sleep in it. With Amy Pond preferably.

It’s cold in space. Whether you are flying a TIE Fighter or an X-Wing Fighter, you need to dress warmly. Good thing that this X-Wing pilot’s helmet was crocheted to keep you warm and toasty as you zip through the trenches of the Death Star.

This adorable helmet was created by Etsy seller HandcraftedByColleen and it is perfect for long space flights. “Red Leader, this is Echo 7. Are you warm enough? Yeah, me too. This thing won’t protect me in a crash, but I sure am glad that my grandmother gifted the whole squadron these toasty helmets.”

While they’re great in space, the Rebel pilots could have used these on Hoth, to keep warm in their Snowspeeders.
