My daughter loves Tim Burton. This hat is from one of her favorite movies. I worked up a basic beanie hat, used the same pattern to do the eyes, then guesstimated the nose and mouth. She loves it, so I guess it works.

Streamline Sweater
I have to say, without a doubt, that this "easy" sweater pattern from Lion Brand's website was a pain in the butt for me. I don't normally make wearables, but my daughter really wanted this sweater. You can do a search on their website for "Streamline Sweater" for the pattern.

Wristers
My daughter picked out bulky yarn to go with a specific pattern she wanted me to make her. Unfortunately, the yarn was too bulky and wouldn't work right. So, I whipped up a pair of wristers from the Lion's Brand website using half-double crochet.

Megaman / Rockman
My middle son joined the Marines about a year ago. 6 months ago, he left for boot camp. He was given a shot but not told what it was for. It was a "peanut butter shot" which supposedly wrecks a recruit's immune system. His immune system became compromised, he became sick, then sicker until he had to be admitted to the hospital unit. A long battle back to health was started. 3 months after entering boot camp, he rejoined a platoon to continue his training.

Stitch - Super-sized
This is, without a doubt, the largest and more difficult one I've done. I lost track of how many times I had to rip out stitches and redo them. I guess that's what you get working with a translated pattern... and being distracted by other people. :)

Hobbes
My youngest son requested Hobbes from Calvin and Hobbes. It took a long time to finish because of various family matters that came up. He's very happy with it. :)

Atashi V2.0
My daughter wanted me to make another Atashi for her baby's room. I did, but I changed a few things. I made the ears longer, so they help her stand upright and found a star bead which I sewed her hands to. It seems to work better than the origami star.
Unfortunately, I completely forgot to take a picture before I wrapped it for the baby shower. /headdesk
