Argh, Headcrab!

Why yes, I did finish knitting a headcrab hat today!

Headcrab!

 

I sure do look happy for its “currently nomming Mercury’s head” status. Its Ravelry project page, with more details and photos, is here!

I really love making hats, in general. This is the first time that I have come up with a hat pattern completely on my own, with no referencing anyone else’s work. I’m very proud of myself! I find it easier to improvise plushies, because, well, they don’t have to fit anyone. It’s satisfying to know that I can, in fact, create things off the top of my head that fit other people’s heads.

Adventures in Flammie-making

I have never played a Seiken Densetsu / Mana game, and I was completely unfamiliar with the creature known as Flammie.

Flammie!

 

As I have since discovered, the party in the RPG Secret of Mana (also known as Seiken Densetsu II) flies on the back of this miniature dragon! I think he’s very cute, but then again, I’m biased. 😉 I won’t lie; he was quite a challenge to make. I’ve never made anything quite like a dragon before, and I had a few headaches working out how to do the wings, and all the little details he has. I just really hope the person who commissioned him is happy with him! (Ravelry project page here.)

Now, onto a Luma from Super Mario Galaxy. It’s almost already done, so hopefully I’ll have another post up soon!
