Like the rest of the world, we were all saddened to hear the news of David Bowie’s passing this week. So, today I have turned to the Ravelry community to see the beautiful Bowie-inspired projects you have created over the years.

First up, we have items inspired by David Bowie and his songs.

Clockwise from top: lousalome’s I, I can remember // Standing, by the wall // And the guns shot above our heads // And we kissed, as though nothing could call, GuapaM’s Love you till Tuesday Socks, olivespearls’ Major Tom and basaltimum’s David Bowie Socks!.

Next, we have Labyrinth-inspired FOs.

From left to right: silvermoon-dragon’s Toby (the roundness of this baby makes me smile!), cinepeg’s Labyrinth (and these are the backs!), jllaming’s As The World Falls Down, and Aerulan’s Jareth the Goblin King.

And finally, these Ziggy Stardust projects are all true works of art.

From left to right: lbee’s Knitted David Bowie (Aladdin Sane), Begemotus’ Life on Mars?, and karlacourtney’s David Bowie Kids’ Cardigan.

I hope you’ve enjoyed these inspirational pieces as much as I have. They’re a wonderful tribute to a man who brought much weirdness and joy into the world. And thanks to the Raveler MalaCara for suggesting this idea!
