This is my new Enderman Shelf-Sitter doll.  He obviously will sit on a shelf,  or a stump,  or a table, or desk...or pretty much anywhere. 



The pattern is posted free on the blog as always:  http://wolfdreamer-oth.blogspot.com/2012/08/enderman-plush.html

Have fun  ... and don't look him in the eyes. 

Yup,  had to.  We love digimon as much as we do Pokemon around here,  so it was inevitable that I'd have to make a few of them.   Terriormon is first up.

As always,  the free pattern is on my blog here:  http://wolfdreamer-oth.blogspot.com/2012/06/terriormon-plushie.html

Have fun  (and have a great Holiday week!)

What a cute thing! 

I'm having a hard time finding good yellows in yarn - what kind of yarn did you use for this?  And how did you do the cheeks?  It looks like felt, but I'm not sure how it was attached...

The yarns I used were RedHeart Super Saver yarns in Worsted Weight.  I have several balls of yellows and I don't know *exactly* which color that yellow was,  but RedHeart has a pretty extensive selection of colors to choose from.

The cheeks, eyes and ear inset are all felt  (the ear inset is felt because a third layer of crochet was far too bulky and heavy and caused the ears to become misshapen ).   I simply sew the felts on with sewing thread and needle using a small blanket stitch.  It's the easiest way for me. 

Finally got the time to finish this one.  It's such a pain when life interferes with your fun!  LOL

I'd call him 'Thor'  ...  or 'M.C.'   (gotta play up on that hammer thing  LOL)

Disney patterns are difficult to find.  Disney doesn't release many patterns for their characters,  and are MILITANT about stopping anyone else that does.  Disney is *very* protective of their copyrights and trademarks.  They have released a 'few' patterns over the years, primarily for characters like Winnie the Pooh and Friends,  and a few others....  but they're few and far between.

The best you can hope for is to find a fan-made pattern online before Disney has it removed --- or make one up for yourself. 

I didn't have time to finish or post up one of my usual patterns lately,  so I figured to put up a tutorial on basic stars.  They're simple, fast and fun.   You can decorate or embellish them any way you want... use them for tree decorations, appliques, gift tags,  stuff them for sachets or just little toys.



I love to make little things like these from crochet cotton,  and applique them onto jeans and jean jackets... the combination is really nice  

You can make them from any yarn, any hook and any color/s you like.  Even a beginner can make a dozen of these while watching a movie on tv.  

The tutorial is on my blog here:  http://wolfdreamer-oth.blogspot.com/2011/12/basic-stars.html

Have fun this holiday season....and all next year too!  

Well,  I had to finish out the quartet.     I finally got Rico done,  though it took me a while cause the heat here in Central Texas was so bad,  I couldn't force myself to pick up a hook or yarn for many weeks.   

The Heat Wave has broken,  although the fires have taken over now (out of the frying pan - into the fire?)   But at least I can work again while I sit awake at night worried about fires.  It's keeping me sane.



The pattern is of course on the blog:  http://wolfdreamer-oth.blogspot.com/2011/09/rico-pom.html

The other three are there also if you want,  (look in the patterns list on the right hand side under 'Penguins of Madagascar') 

Happy Hookin' ...  (and if you're in the fires,  or the floods...  stay safe!)

Second in the series... but in my opinion,  definitely the cutest 






Free pattern is of course available on my blog site:  http://wolfdreamer-oth.blogspot.com/2011/06/private-pom.html

I had to do them.   Skipper is the first.

I'm a huge fan of the Penguins of Madagascar,  and I couldn't resist it.   I'm so bad,  I even rescheduled a doctor appt.  because it was at the same time the show came on  LOL



Of course,  the pattern is free on my blog at:  http://wolfdreamer-oth.blogspot.com/2011/06/skipper.html
