Attach all parts, embroider on nose and claws with black yarn. For the eyes, I used white felt and black buttons. Enjoy! <3

He is about the size of a softball.

SCORPION

Looks kinda cartoonish.



Also, all of my mobile posts make the pictures look like crap.

Some new things I thought I posted but didn't

 Doctor Zoidberg!

 Nyan...hat?

Owl sweater for my favorite baby's first birthday :3

BGAWK

Time to PILLAGEEEE!

Some good advice

Basically covers how I feel right now.

Oh for the love of Doctor Who...

I couldn't decide on a pose for the 4th doctor scarf I made for a friend. I think the middle one is my favourite. And my trenchcoat was absolutely necessary for this photo session.

 The T.A.R.D.I.S.

 Sonic Screwdriver!

EX-TER-MIN-ATE

Re-Creation/Recreation.

Someone asked me for this hat...

...So I made it.
Also, WOW I look like someone hit me with a bus without my glasses on.

Elementary, my dear Watson.

Pattern from Crochet Newsletter Magazine, No.87, Page 10, Copyright 1997. Found online

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

That is all.

Some new hats!

Lion hat for Ari'el :D

Ze Frog Prince for Benjie :)

 Kitty hat for Shannon

Green Lantern hat for James

Squid hat for TJ! Purple one to come for Christina <3

Amigurumi, part deux

We got a new filing cabinet at work, and it needed some flowers. So I made some! :D

I also made a little traffic cone :)

Along with my neighbour, Totoro :)))
And last but not least, my personal favourite so far:

Bobomb!!!

Katamari! And it's magnetic! Be impressed. I command you.

Herro Kittyyy

So my first attempt was a failure in my eyes because it wasn't up to my ridiculously high standards for myself:

It was also much bigger than I anticipated.
***
So I tried again making my own pattern. It was more of a success:"

Before the face

After the face (Felt. I'll touch it up when it's dry.)


SO HERE'S THE PATTERN FOR THE HEAD OF HELLO KITTY. 
Head:
Ch2, make 4 st in the second chain from the loop. (4)
Row1: 2 sc in each st around (8)
Row2: sc in first st, dc in the second. Continue around. (12)
Row3: sc in first 2 sts, dc in the third. Continue around. (16)
Row4: sc in first 3 sts, dc in the fourth. Continue around. (20)
Row5: sc in each st around. (20)
Row6: Sc in first 3 sts, dec in the fourth. Continue around (16)
Row7: Sc in first 2 sts, dec in the third. Continue around (12)
Row8: sc in the first st, dec in the second. Continue around. (8)
Row9: dec in every other st. Tie off.
Add the face and the bow.

Bow:
For the bow, all I did was ch 10 and tied the ends together. Then I took that circle that was made and tied yarn around the middle to make it look like a bow and sewed it on.

Dabbling in Amigurumi

Amigurumi (編みぐるみ^?, lit. crocheted or knitted stuffed toy) is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures.

This is my first attempt at trying this, but with a little help from the wonderful patterns of nerdigurumi.com (this is your shout-out!) I have made a DOMO!

FEAR MY SKILLZ.

And now, introducing the Mini Domo! He's a keychain! :)

Pokeball, Go! This took me half an hour. So fast!

***

1up!

Pattern from AmiAmour.com <3

In making Pokeballs for my man to walk around A-kon with,:

I decided to see how small I could make them.:

 My first attempt at the mini ones, I used paper(for lack of supplies where I was) for the middle, then I wised up and started peeling apart my 4-ply yarn to make the centers.

Domomania!

Nick asked me to make him a domo hat, I finished it this morning :)

Bum ba da bum!

To Make, Or Not To Make.

These are some awesome hats that I've come across in my time on the internet:

This hat has been posted to me several times since I've found it. A friend in the Netherlands wants me to make it for him. xD:

 This is such an adorable little lion hat :) When I have kids...

  India posted this on my wall one day. It's so cute. When I have kids... Lol

 Again. When I have kids..... Lololol. They're gonna be so nerdy in their first years of life:
