Bomberman

I wasn't able to sleep tonight, so this is the product of my inability to sleep.

Story Time!
A friend of mine, Veena,  recently got a new job at Game Over. In gist, it's a video game store that mostly sells retro games. It is a new love of mine. Anyway, while on this trip visit to Veena, she suggested I made a Bomberman Hat. Now, I don't think this is the type of hat she had in mine, but this is what I have so far.



This was made with a N hook, worked in round and blah blah. Made a little ball out of red yarn, then back to white yarn, I made a "stem" to connect the red bulb to the hat.

In retrospect I think the N hook came out to be way too large, so either I'll find someone with a large head to wear this, or I'll eventually take it apart and redo it with possibly a J hook. At least I will if I continue to make a hat double crocheting (dc) the whole thing. I've made a hat/mask similar to this one using a N hook but instead of dc i just single crocheted (sc) the entire thing and it fit a bit better. Hats are probably a little more tricky for me to do only because I feel like I have a smaller head than average and I only have me to test it on most of the time. Trial and error is the way to go for me. So if any one has suggestions as to how I can fix this, it'd be great. I'm open to any suggestions to fix, or even suggestions for additions to the hat.

Pac Man


My first pacman. I was so nervous about doing amigurumi/stuffed animal type stuff so this one turned out quite well I think. This one, I kind of made up as I went and it wasn't until I was half way done that I had the most clever thought! Maybe I should look up a pattern. And lo and behold, I wasn't too far off. Yay me!

So there is my pug Gus mimicking pacman it looks like. Oh and the one in the back is my Wicket!

So fair warning, there may also be lots of picutres of my dogs along the way =D
