KitLaurie’s Kaylee (found here) is just too cute in her fancy gown and crooked smile. She looks all ready to head out to a swanky shindig in her outfit–that comes complete with gloves and a yummy strawberry. Kaylee was made using a pattern found here. Or if you’re not a crocheter, don’t despair. KitLaurie takes commissions over on Tumblr.
Just three weeks ago, I linked to Lunascrafts’ Death of Rats. Well, she’s done it again, this time with a jaw droppingly large Dalek. Made with super bulky yarn, and a 5.5mm hook, this squishy ball of hate used up an entire IKEA cushion for stuffing. That’s dedication!
Mornings can be rough, but this cute-yet-scary mug cozy will keep you on your toes. It’s easy to crochet and fun to decorate. Crochet it (using the pattern below) while you’re watching your favorite episode of The Walking Dead, and it will keep your coffee (and/or tea) warm for years to come.
A few days ago, I stumbled upon this mind-blowing Amigurumi Big Daddy from Bioshock. Isn’t he amazing?! Emjay made Big Daddy, and many other amazing amigurumis, with lots of patterns (including Big Daddy) available FREE on her website, Nerdigurumi. I might just have to attempt to make a Big Daddy for my boyfriend’s birthday, although it would probably take me about 10 years to finish, looking at how fiddly the pattern is.
My other favorite patterns on Nerdigurumi are:
I’m a bit of a fan of Discworld from way back, so when I saw Kati (Luna1130) post this Death of Rats in Nerd Wars on Ravelry, I knew I just had to share it with you. Made from the base pattern of PlanetJune’s Lemmings, this little guy is all set to SQUEAK his way right into your heart!
A little something special from me this week. I’m going to see They Might Be Giants in concert in a few weeks time and I’m pretty excited. Since They came out last, eleven years ago, I’ve had three kids, who are big fans just like their mother. Meaning the three kids dvds (Here Come the ABCs, Here Come the 123s, and Here Comes Science) get a lot of air time in our household.
In the first two dvds, John and John appear to introduce the song segments in the guise of puppets. Large puppets. But it seemed to me, these would make great tiny puppets too. Tiny finger puppets. So I made some. And because I’m so generous, I wrote down the pattern, to share here, exclusively, so you can have your own tiny Johns too! Keep reading after the jump for the pattern!
