To celebrate Star Trek day, why not take up your hook or needles and boldy go where quite a few crafters have gone before. I was quite thrilled by the amount of ideas I found online:
- The pattern doesn't exist yet, but the idea is fantastic and easily duplicated - Star Trek fingerless gloves.
- All you need is a pixel by pixel picture of your favorite character and you could have a whole kitchen of these Trek themed pot holders.
- Are you into cloth diapering? Try covering one of those bad boys with a Trek Soaker.
- Make yourself a Star Trek sweater with this pattern from Patrick Hassel-Zein, you'll need a Ravelry account to access it.
- Again, no pattern, but a great description of how to make your own Enterprise.
- The creme de la creme is this modified Ravelry pattern, used to create the cast of Star Trek: The Next Generation in crochet.
- I have yet to succeed in knitting a pair of socks, but once I do, these Star Trek socks are definitely going on my list.
And for those who aren't inclined to craft, as always Etsy and Artfire are full of Trekkie goodness:
- Picture above, these mug cozies from Cuddlefish Crafts are available in three varieties: Kirk, Spock and Red Shirt.
- To go along with those cold mornings, these beanies from Cutie Hats will warm your ears, no matter their size or shape.
- If you want to be a little more daring you can rock one of these Spock Toques from Etsy.
- To involve the whole family you can get a Spock outfit for your build-a-bear and a knitted baby sweater for your tiniest Trekkie.
You can also buy yarn in Star Trek inspired colors, should you want to just add that dash of Kirk or Picard into everything you do.
