May the Fourth be with you! Over at flickr, Angry Angel posted the coolest Chewbacca amigurumi! It looks felted, doesn’t it? I can’t believe that it’s just brushed yarn. Angry Angel made the pattern for her etsy shop, but Chewy isn’t the only Star Wars amigurumi pattern available: she actually has twelve of the characters!

Plants vs. Zombies Plushie Patterns
Chainsaws are so 2006. Today, we all know the best way to kill zombies is with vegetation.
Thanks to Plants vs. Zombies, gamers can rigorously train in simulated zombie combat. But what to do when the undead really do show up on your lawn?
Plush artist Alix Banegas has you covered. At her Etsy shop, Arixystix Creations, you’ll find detailed patterns for making your own felt army of Sunflowers, Peashooters, and WallNuts.
Even better, she offers pre-assembled kits, including wool felt, clay pot, and detailed instructions in a spiffy zombie box.
Now you have no excuse not to be prepared when the zombies come a-knockin’!
Tutorial Tuesday! Azumarill Amigurumi – With Pattern!
I am a girl with a one track mind, and the tracks have shifted this week. I’m still hella-excited about the new series of Dr Who coming up, but that kind of obsession takes energy, which I do not have!… anyhow this week, my mind is on Pokemon!!
I’ve recently started (re-started) Pokemon Pearl. I’m a DS-aholic and I cannot afford either Pokemon black/white OR a new 3DS (and I’m quite suspicious that a 3DS might melt my brain… ) So I’m hoping Pearl will keep me occupied until those two ships have sailed… anyhow… enough about me… lets talk about crafts!
Craftster user and blogging superstar WolfDreamer . stitched up this adorable Azumarill Amigurumi. As she says in her craftster post:
“I figured this one is perfect for Easter. Part Easter egg, part bunny”
I figure you’re right WolfDreamer! … But wait!! there’s more!! WolfDreamer has also made the crochet pattern availiable for free on her blog!!… I love it when bloggers do that… now all I need to do is learn to crochet…
Wibbly Wobbly, Timey Wimey
This Doctor Who inspired cowl was designed by Ravelry user Rachel Henry. It’s made with a Knit Picks self striping yarn, in the Time Traveler colorway, which is unfortunately no longer available on the Knit Picks site. The colors are a pastel version of the iconic Doctor Who scarf worn by the fourth Doctor.
The cowl pictured here is one I knit for myself. I ordered the yarn right after seeing the pattern, and knit it for myself as a treat when I finished all my Christmas knitting.
Kirby Plushie
I made this adorable Kirby plushie for a friend a few months ago. After spending several days scouring the internet for a good knitting pattern for a ball, I came across this Kirby pattern on Ravelry. I altered it slightly, using my own design for the feet, and making the eyes and mouth with felt, that I then glued on with a hot glue gun rather than knitting them as seen in the pattern.
It only took about three days to make, and I had a lot of fun knitting Kirby.
Roflcopter Cross Stitch Pattern
I saw this and I rofl’d so I thought it was pretty fitting to share with you guys.
This pattern is amazing. I’m definitely going to make it, and you should too!
