ilomilo

New to Xbox Live Arcade today is a cute looking game called ilomilo...more information can be found at the Xbox Live Marketplace

I saw the two main characters and thought "aawwww"...PERFECT for turning into amigurumi, so here is the 1st attempt

It's about 2.5 inches tall without the antenna bit (which is made from black covered copper wire harvested from a broken battery powered toy...reuse,recycle lol)

Now to rummage thru the wool to find a rust colour close to the other wee dude so he has his buddy

Deadmau5

verbally spoken ... "can you make a dead mouse?"

errr...yeah, you mean one of those autopsy type things

"no...deadmau5"

After a google images search I find he's a canadian DJ that wears a mouse head thingy for his promotional stuff LOL...hey I'm more rock and pop based, and at the moment more apt to be listening to the Lazytown soundtrack so what do I know anymore LOL.

Anyhoo (note the Canadian there lol)...suited perfectly to the Teeny Dude style, and here he is.

Brians Snake

Not so teeny, but i think he belongs here...babywipe packet for size.

I can't give a specific pattern, but crochet spiral with even increases for the head, then in back and forth rows for the coloured stripes, then spiral with decreasing for the tail end...i can tell you the body was 52 stitches with a 4mm hook, using DK wool and US single/UK double crochet for the stitch.

 4 stitch split to two lots of 2 stitch,then dec to 1st to create the forked tongue

Felt ovals for the eyes...stitched on as it's for a toddler

All wrapped around a well stuffed leg of tights...well actually it's 3 layers of tights filled with bean bag beans,but you get the idea.

"cosmic bear"

Nelly Pailloux's book Crobots again. This time Cosmic Bear.

Original pattern had him in deep blue, but I only had light blue or really dark navy, so I decided on purple.

Crochet Yoshis

This time it's a bought pattern c/o Piccu's Etsy Shop .

I ADORE this pattern now...3 Yoshis now made from it and at least another 2 or 3 planned. Having an extended family of gamers he's perfect as a pressie.

Luigi...and Luigi

Again many thanks to Wolfdreamer for the amazing patterns.

One for mother-in-law to match the Mario she got earlier in the year, and the other for one of my sprogs...not sure which one will get him yet as I've had a request for another thing...watch this space.

diney-sawr...raaaaahhhhh

George from Peppa Pig would be proud. A T-rex very similar to Georges

This one is for the younger little dude of the household.
