Xanadoodle crocheted this 16" x 9" Han Solo in Carbonite throw-pillow, which would make a lovely addition to any smart home.

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    Cory, don’t you mean “addition”? … or was it on purpose?

  • Donald Petersen

    Nicely done! Make a bunch, sell ‘em for $29.95, and it’s a license to print money!

    When I saw this knitted pop culture gem I instantly thought of http://www.grimmleighs.com/ It is a crafting site for geeks. In fact, one of the founders moonlights on the geekshow podcast. If you are in Salt Lake City, hit up their weekly Craft Sabbaths.

    kickabear – The ugnaughts removed his shackles just prior to freezing Han.

    Han’s hands were bound when he was lowered into the encasement chamber, but unbound when his carbonite-encrusted self was removed from the chamber. While I appreciate the reasoning behind making the pillow in the form used in the movie, I was still a little disappointed that the creator of the pillow didn’t buck tradition. Also, Han shot first.
