If you're like me, you're a little bit of a techie geek. You like not just surfing the Internet, but the building and coding that goes on behind the scenes. Or maybe you spend your Sunday afternoons playing video games. Or maybe the latest in techie gadgets is what does it for you. But whatever your secret tech-turn-on is, if you're like me, you like to craft in the genre of tech-love.
Today for Motivation Monday, lets get inspired by all things techie and geek! I've pulled together some tutorials, and images from my favourite tech-related crafts and I hope they will inspire you to create something cool!
Knit your own Sackboy
First, you have to check out this knitting pattern for Sackboy. If you are wondering who the heck Sackboy is, you really need to check out the PlayStation 3 game, Little Big Planet. It's quite possibly the cutest, not to mention ridiculously fun video game to come out in a long time! Sackboy is the super-cute handknit hero of the game Little BIG Planet, made by Media Molecule. I really really wish I knew how to knit, just so I could make this!
Some Drupal in your Knits
While we are on the topic of knitting, I want to share with you these knitting charts for the Drupal logo. This was actually done by a teacher I had about 4 years ago in college, Emma Hogbin. If you don't know what Drupal is, it's an open source content management system, so very fitting that Emma released some open source knitting charts.
Cross stitch some Gaming into your Home
If cross stitching is your thing, check out this fun cross-stitch sampler by The Domestic Scientist. Click here for the pattern.
Domo Ipod cover
Want to disguise your ipod? This tutorial on how to make your own Domo inspired ipod cover is awesome! It's so cute, and it really hides your ipod away! Click here to view the tutorial!
Knit some Mario Mushroom Hand warmers
Knitting is a very popular medium for expressing your geek-craftery it would seem. Check out this pattern for knitting your own fingerless gloved adorned with Super Mario's Mushroom.

Not my field (a tad clueless about code and most things tech), but this is great, I love to see unique and unusual craft ideas.
I love your sackboys. My daughter loves that game! I might have to convo you on etsy (or Artfire, if you're on Artfire?) and ask you to do a sack girl?
