Fnished this huge Donphan plush for a commission. I’m always happy to bring someone’s favorite obscure Pokémon to life! 💜 Pattern coming…when I have the energy to transcribe all 25+ pages of longhand notes 😰 #plushie #crochet #amigurumi #pkmn #retrogaming #commission #fiberart

Nyoho ho! I’m putting the finishing touches on this structural monstrosity of a hat. After Tekko, I’ll do a longer build post about the lessons I learned. Patrons will get to read it first! 🧶 #cosplay #jjba #sbr #gyrozeppeli #crochet #wip

Old Gen 1 commissioned amigurumi from over the years. Have I made your favorite yet? #crochet #pokemon #retrogaming #plushies #photography #amigurumi

A purple crocheted Kanto Weezing sits atop a log during golden hour. Its large head looks grumpy, and its smaller head looks away in annoyance. Not sure why it’s that way, considering how it’s right at home with the smelly air pollution.

A large crocheted Vaporeon sits on asphalt, sunning itself. It stretches out its long cerulean fishtail.

A crocheted Eevee wearing Ash Ketchum’s Kanto League cap sits happily in the crook of a mossy tree branch. It has a fluffy ruff and a content little grin.

A crocheted Lapras sits by a murky pool of water, eyes cast downward. I’d be disappointed, too if I couldn’t swim in clean water.

A doodle of a fluffy bunny head surrounded by hearts and lotuses. The bunny is Linfa, my recently departed bunny. The text reads: “To Linfa, in heaven” in Chinese characters.

mfw the pattern gauge requires 12 rounds, but is completely irrelevant so i have to figure out the hook size through trial and error:

Spent most of last night and today crocheting and frogging Gyro’s sun hat for an upcoming cosplay. And I am still back at round 1. THANK GOD I’m pouring all my effort into this single piece, instead of trying to crochet all of his other accessories. #wip #cosplay #jjba

Happy Saturday Shuckle Share! I crocheted this critter back in 2013, using my own pattern that I hacked together on graph paper. I named her Noodle because of her floppy limbs. 🧶 #pokemon #crochet #amigurumi #plushartist #plushie #retrogaming
