The Very Hungry Rust Monster is a mini-comic I made a few years back. I’ve seen it floating around Tumblr without attribution recently, so I’ve uploaded a higher-resolution version, properly credited.

#…aww? #(I didn’t know where this was going) #(I’ve only encountered rust monsters in Nethack) #(and Nethack rust monsters look more like walruses than anything chitinous)

Little is known of the mysterious void crow. Deep space asteroid miners occasionally report spotting these creatures flying in their plasma trails, but there have been few recordings. Legend says that a void crow in flight is a sign of new life to come, but if a void crow perches over a dwelling it is a sign of death or hardship to come. A void crow perched over a mine shaft is a particularly bad omen and miners have been known to refuse to work for days after a sighting.

This crow is available on Etsy

You can buy a crow pattern on Etsy or Craftsy.

I made a tutorial on how to do the eyes on Instructables

Candy + Crafts = Awesome

When Japanese Twitter user Overtime Queen noticed the resemblance between Ultra-string Q gummy candy and yarn, she decided to postpone eating it and try knitting with it instead. Each piece of the citrus and soda flavored candy measures 126 cm (50 in) long, so she bought 15 packages – amassing roughly 18.9 meters (62 feet) of gummy candy and set to work knitting with a pair of chopsticks, using a standard stocking stitch (18 stitches across), resulting in a lovely scarf that’s 100% edible.

There’s no word on whether or not Overtime Queen ate her crafty confection, but she did resport that the process of knitting the gummy scarf made her hands smell delicious:

“My hands smell like citrus soda and cola! They smell so good!”

After working on it for three hours, the completed scarf measured 25 cm x 15 cm (9.8 in x 5.9 in), and weighed 450 grams (1 lb). It may not be a long scarf, but it’s still completely awesome. We’d like nothing better than the opportunity to take a big bite out of it.
