CLOSED: Nerd Games - Fall 2022

Wow! The Games are off to a great start! I’m in love with that wallet @gozer ! I wanted to snag it from your shop but I was too late! Clearly someone else loves it, too! LOL!

The notebook is adorable and the casserole covers— you KNOW I love THOSE!! I might need that pattern from you because Christmas is coming….!

The coffins turned out really cute and the cookies look fabulous (even if they don’t taste as good as @endymion’s)!

@storerboughtcreation That little frog with his smart little pocket would be a perfect tooth fairy pillow I think. So cute! The bat tie is a cute idea also!

Prompt: 12 weeks of winter: Hungry like the wolf
Team: So Corn-fused
Project Name: Arabian lam stew
Brief Description: I made this for another challenge and loved it so much I just had to remake it, it’s just so good. A friend who doesn’t like lamb loved it, and so did family members who are a bit sceptical. The seasoning is a bit more “Christmas” according to Norwegian food traditions so it’s a bit unusual, but still so good. Because I wanted a lot of leftovers I’ve doubled the batch, and STILL people ate almost all of it XD -recipe- I served it with Naan, the sweetness from the bread fit well.

Prompt: 12 weeks of winter: zombie
Team: So Corn-fused
Project Name: Neck warmer from old hat
Brief Description: my step son had a planned school trip and needed something warm to keep his throat warm, so I made him one by ripping up the old hat, which took more time than I thought as it’s factory made and I didn’t want to ruin it too much, of course I ended up cutting those parts off in the end anyway…

@storerboughtcreation the tie Bat and frog, adorable, especially the frog. I do agree, a tooth fairy pocket is perfect

@Bunny1kenobi so many wonderful projects, love the skeleton heart hand and the chest, and the embroidery bat is amazing. The eye, omg it’s so cool, love the eyelashes, same with the felt ghost and bookmark. Of course the piece of resistance is the ghostly carousel, amazing work, lucky swap partner

@megwell cute zap project :smile:

I made these other two scarves as a test as well. They haven’t been released quite yet, but they should be soon.

Prompt: October - Spoopy

Project Name: Blue Scarf
Project Link:
Brief Description: I did not enjoy making this scarf and I didn’t like how it looked, so I cheated a little. I only crocheted half of the scarf, positioned it, took a photo, then mirrored the image back to make it look like a completed scarf. I then frogged the project to use the yarn for something else. I feel bad, but I really didn’t like it. Everyone has different aesthetics though, so I’m sure others will love this scarf
