Geek Fashion: DIY Wonder Woman Sweater

Sep 11, 2012 By Tara in Crafty Geek, Geeky Fashion No Comments Tags: DIY, fashion, Fashionably Geek, knitting, Ravelry, sweater, Wonder Woman

It was the first unofficial day of Fall in Seattle yesterday. The sky became overcast, it rained for the first time in 49(!) days, and I wore a sweater and scarf to work. (The scarf may have been slight overkill, but my office’s air conditioning is ridiculous.) Needless to say, awesomely geeky sweaters need to find their way into my wardrobe soon.

Kirsty Lothian has created the pattern to this fantastic Wonder Woman sweater (or jumper, as she calls it). The detail is excellent, and the sweater is cute enough to wear around non-geeks. Plus, creating the sweater makes for the most perfect “cozy, cuddled up on the couch” activity for those brisk Fall nights!

You can find the instructions for free at Ravelry.com.

Thor Hammer Ring

This Thor hammer ring is my favorite type of geeky jewelry: It’s subtle and stylish enough that non-geeks will compliment you on it. Once they do, you can explain what it’s based on, and potentially turn a fashionista into comic book fan! Plus, how strong will you feel wearing Mighty Thor’s hammer on one of your fingers?

Thor Silver Hammer Ring, $15.99 at Superherostuff.com.

Superhero Tutus

These tutus make me want to dress up and play pretend–because the only thing cooler than pretending to be superheros is to be one while wearing a frilly costume.

Think I could convince Goody Goody Tutus to make one in a grown-up size?

Tutus, $55-95 at Etsy.
