Nerd Warriors Come Out and Play
Tournament 9 has begun. I will be throwing in my needles for Team Mythology, as well as blogging for them once again. I have a few post ideas I shall be working on in the next few months.
Now then, for those who don’t know, Nerd Wars is three month friendly challenge competition. Each month there are five themes where you have from the 1st - 28th to knit something that not only fits the theme, but also can be tied back to your team. The teams come from all directions, Browncoat, Impala, Mythology, Bite Me, Pineapple, Fraggle, Writer, Shady Cells, 221B, Precious, Tardis, and so much more. I took a break from T8 but have been participating since T5.
For example, there was one month where there was a state of water theme, solid, liquid, and gas. I knit Adoro my first beaded shawl.
The beads were chips of ice in the blue water of the shawl, and the lace, was where the air of water would pass through. How did I tie it to Mythology? Selkies, water dwelling creatures with multiple forms. So there are a variety of ways to make Nerd Wars work for you and fun.
This month’s challenges, are up and I have some ideas for each challenge.
- Flex Challenge (WIP challenge - the only challenge where you do not have to start on the 1st) - Wear Something Gaudy
- I’m thinking I should finish my Color Affection, while not majorly gaudy, three colors is a lot for me. And there is way more than 2 hours of knitting left so I should be able to finish that off in the next week or two. - Encyclopedia (real-world language, history, and culture) Volume Z zoo
- I think Maybe I will knit a Demi Octopus and throw it on a tote that I have that is otherwise pretty plain.
- Discovery (discoveries, innovations, breakthroughs, and inventions)- Going Stratosphere
- No idea yet
- Nerdology (about being nerdy/geeky once called Geek Pride) What the Heck is a LARP?
- No idea yet - Giving Geeks (Acts of Charity, Volunteering) - Fear has its use.
- No idea yet
- Dissertation (three moth long challenge that you define and get approval for)
- I want to make my dad a pair of socks for Christmas. I have yet to finish a pair of wearable socks. So maybe this is possible.
Any other Nerd Warriors planning out their October?
