A friend asked me if I could crochet her a Dragonite for Christmas. I don’t remember why exactly I made a black version, apart from the fact that I like black.

Another plushie that I crocheted for a friend for Christmas was this moose:

I was asked to crochet an Appa from the Avatar: The Last Airbender series. The only good looking pattern I found was this one. The biggest problem with it is it’s size. It is a lot bigger than I wanted it to be, but since I wouldn’t have been able to come up with a better pattern, I crocheted it anyway. 

This is the second part of a long croject that I’ve gotten myself into. The pattern I used for Flareon is on the same website as the Jolteon pattern I’ve used before. I changed one tiny thing about it: the collar. I didn’t quite get what the pattern wanted me to do so I improvised it and am really not happy about how it turned out:

In my circle of friends there are a couple of Doctor Who fans and for Christmas I wanted to crochet something for them. For two friends I decided to crochet a TARDIS after I found this pattern. The pattern is really easy to follow and I’m glad I’ve found it. the only problem for me is as usual the sewing. The three TARDIS that I’ve crocheted (so far) turned out too round.

For the third friend I could’t decide whether I should do another TARDIS, the ninth Doctor or, since she loves owls, an owl. I asked another friend what he thought and he just started laughing and yelled Doctor Hoo. So I made an owl with bits of the tenth Doctor’s outfit. (That idea came from seeing wild pictures of Doctor Whooves on the internet.) I simply followed this barn owl pattern and glued a collar and a brown tie in felt onto it.

This is what it looked like:

My sister wanted to have oven mitts for Christmas, so this is what my very first attempt at oven mitts looks like: 

I made a tiny Remus Lupin for a friend. This is my first (documented) attempt at doing humans and it is very difficult. Firstly there are only like 2 different types of brown in any kind of yarn because people mostly use yarn for clothes and nobody wants more than one shade of brown apparently. Nobody thinks of people like me who want to have accurate hair colours. So yeah Remus’ hair is too dark and without me saying that it’s supposed to be Remus, you would never have guessed. 

I’m not sure if you can see the scars that I tries to give him on this picture so here have a close-up: 

A friend asked me to crochet a Vaporeon and since I didn’t want to use the same pattern, that I use for my ongoing Eeveelutions project I looked for another good pattern for Vaporeon and found this one. My version looks like this:

I've made another Toothless for a friend who was jealous of mine

This one is way more squishable as the first one I made, since that was still in my I-have-to-pull-it-so-tight-that-I-nearly-loose-my-fingers-phase. I used the same pattern as with the first Toothless and there is only one difference in the design of those two (apart from the squishiness): 

These 2 were a birthday present for a friend who's birthday is in October. I was just too lazy to blog about it, but right now I've got half an hour to kill so here you go:

I once again used a wolfdreamer pattern for Eevee and I found these patterns for all the Eevelutions apart from the one that I ignore. 

It'll get some eyes eventually.

For the first time ever I crocheted something useful.

Sorry I haven't been posting anything for a while. This doesn't mean I have stopped to crochet I just mostly work on Christmas presents right now and I don't want to risk spoiling any surprises.

This one

was a Birthday present for a friend of mine and judging by the way she ran through our department of the university yelling "EXTERMINATE" at random people, I guess she likes it.

I found the pattern here: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/dalek-amigurumi

A friend just send this pic to me and it made my day.
