Have you heard of Wolfdreamer?

Wolfdreamer is an amazing pattern creator of, get this......Pokemon amigurumi! Awesome right? There's more than pokemon on her blog, but that's the main part of it. She's got free patterns of Mario, Luigi, Cyndaquil (  :3  ), meowth, and so many other awesome pokemon. If you are interested, you can go to it through this link: Wolfdreamer OTH

I am not being paid to promote this website. I do not even personally know the creator. I am just spreading the word about some cool stuff on the net. :) And if you think her patterns are amazing or are just wanting to spread some love, you should totally donate to her via the donate button on her blog.

Whelp, I gotta finish homework so I'll talk to you needle and anime addicts later.

My first semi-finished amigurumi!

Tis Kyo in his kitteh form. I haven't put on his face yet, but he should look quite fabulous and more Kyo-like once I put his face on. :3 I'm also working on making Ayame, but crocheting a rope isn't very entertaining.
Lastly, I just wanted to say that I am even more in love with Hyd than ever before. I just watched a music video of it. Tis all right now.
Toodles!

Ed Elric Sackboy is the most amazing idea yet!



Props to Goldenjellybean from youtube. Her sackboy creations are pure genius. You should also check out her crochet Luma from Mario Galaxy. Luma isn't a sackboy creation, but still pretty sweet looking.

Baby Low Tension on clarinet!

I tried playing Peach Girl's opening song by Meg Rock: Baby Low Tension. Post some comments and responses.:)

My other projects for this year. Crocheted, of course.

I have yet to make a ton of presents for people for Christmas. (Give me a break, I was sick and it was a sweat shop 24/7 in my room since I have more intermediate family than you could imagine to make presents for.) So since I never finished making those presents, I am planning on doing these. Note that these are all that I have come up with thus far due to my yarn stash and no money to play with to buy gifts, being a college student and all.
First, for a friend from elementary and one that I worked with over the past summer, I am planning on making invader zim amigurumi.
The girl that I worked with is getting gir wearing his dog outfit:
And then for the guy friend from elementary school, since he loves invader zim and techie stuff (he's a computer networking major if I understand correctly,) I am making the gir robot, but without the creepy grin. Ha.

For another guy friend, I decided that I would make him an amigurumi Pokemon. He said that his favorite was Typhlosion, which is awesome to me. (I love Cyndaquil, which is the beginning version of a Typhlosion.) Anywho, Typhlosion will be kinda tricky to make with the flames, but I'm up for a challenge.
Typhlosion:
I plan to make a Butterfree, Blastoise, Jigglypuff, and the original starters as well. But I don't want carpal tunnel just yet.
And then lastly, as a Christmas present to myself, I am making all of the zodiac according to Fruits Basket along with Tohru as the rice ball, one of the most amazing anime ever in my opinion. I am almost finished with my Kyo the cat plushie. **Kudos to AnnieMsson from Deviantart on this amazing Fruits Basket fan art**
All in all, of the Fruits Basket Characters that are actually associated with the Zodiac are:
Hatsuharu the cow
Yuki the rat
Tohru the rice ball
Kyo the cat
Kagura the boar
Isuzu "Rin" the horse *manga only*
Hatori the "dragon" (He changes to a seahorse.)
Shigure the dog
Ayame the snake
Momiji the rabbit
Ritsu the monkey
Kureno the rooster *manga only* (He changed into a sparrow)
Akito the head of the Zodiac
Hiro the sheep and
Kisa the Tiger

As far as symbolism goes in the story, since Akito does not have a zodiac form or lovingly referred to as something else, such as Tohru being the rice ball. Regardless of how the Zodiac members feel about Akito, the person that holds them all together is also the person who threatens to drive the whole family apart. Akito is the one who takes care of the whole family no matter what anyone thinks, says, or does. So I guess the basket would be Akito's "symbol." I doubt I will represent Akito when I make the others though, since I don't care much for the character.
