New Project Loading...

As I predicted, the Creeper I wrote about last week:

...ended up being given to my nephews. The twins. 

I know this because my brother sent me a video of them "opening" it. (I had wrapped it in tissue paper to mail. My brother brought them the thing in that tissue but out of the mailing envelope.) It's a thing my brother does. He always films his kiddos opening gifts. 

Knowing that this would go to twins, I offered to make a second one. When my brother asked the boys, they threw out other characters that they'd like: Enderman and Zombie. (These are all Minecraft characters. I realize I haven't specified where these characters are coming from. Minecraft is a video game.)

Well, why not?

I haven't found a Zombie pattern, but I did find an Enderman one. (I haven't looked very hard so a Zombie might be possible. I saw amigurumi Zombie critters, just not links to patterns. And it was only a cursory search. Because I'm going with the low hanging fruit here. Easier one to find is the one I'm going to do.) 

There's a video:

I'm not sure how quickly I'll get this done. I'm back at work, so I have less mental energy (and less time) to work on yarny things. But there's no rush. It wasn't timed to a birthday or anything.

  3. It's great you can make some special request stuffed animals. If you're interested in the Simpsons or Pokemon Amigurumi projects, someone just shared a website with me.

  5. You get really good at Minecraft figures and you'll end up with a lot more requests. Very popular game.
