I just came across this amazing crocheter (is that a word?) - Maggie Wang aka causticmuse - on Craftster. She has made a whole bunch of cool, very geeky amigurumi dolls based on Sackboy from LittleBigPlanet. I couldn’t pick a favorite as they’re all great, so here are five:
Level 80 Blood Elf from World of Warcraft
The Nameless One from Planescape: Torment
Is Mystery Science Theater 3000 still on? That show always cracked me up, although watching any movie with my husband usually produces a similar effect. Craftster user MageAkyla crocheted this Tom Servo plush for her very lucky brother. Brilliant use of additional materials and that sleepy eye is hilarious.
Craftster user shescrafty627 really is crafty! She crocheted Vincent Vega and Jules Winnfield from Pulp Fiction. I can hear the teeny tiny crocheted swearing.
Geek crafter June submitted these super cute Amigurumi Lemmings. Click through to PlanetJune to see close-ups. I remember this game. Do you?
Craftster user a_falsario crocheted Sackboy from Little Big Planet for her boyfriend. She was kind enough to post a tutorial along with her photos.
What person thinks of their warm, snugly bed and doesn’t think “Cthulu“? No one. I’m sure of it. So here is your friendly neighborhood Bedtime Cthulu complete with his night cap and snugly plushie. Alecto posted this creation on Craftster. She created him using a pattern she found on Cthulu and Cousins, and modifying it a bit.
Hooks and Needles posted this Futurama inspired Gender Bender Amigurumi on Whip Up. I wish I had words to describe how funny and absolutely genius this Bender doll is! Even people who don’t even watch Futurama were falling out of their chairs laughing when I passed this photo around!
Does this count as geeky? It’s cracking me up, so I think I’ll file it under Science. Craftster user wibit crocheted this hilarious Great White Shark, complete with severed leg in his mouth. Check out her blog, Roman Sock, for more of her own crafts, as well as some great crafty finds.
Here’s another great Christmas gift… Craftster user windgie79 crocheted her husband an entire set of Amigurumi zombies from the game Left 4 Dead. She used a pattern from Creepy Cute Crochet by Christen Haden of NeedleNoodles. This one is “The Smoker.” Definitely click through to see the rest!
Sukigirl made a bunch of these South Park Cartman and Kenny amigurumi dolls as stocking stuffers. She’s got some other South Park crafts on her blog, as well. The pattern is from Etsy seller La Fee Crochette, who has a lot of different geek-inspired Amigurumi. I’m happy that Cartman’s head is larger than Kenny’s, as it should be.
