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

Little Green Dragon

My youngest daughter has been asking for this dragon for a long time.  I finally did it for her.  The hardest part was doing up all the felt and getting it glued onto the body correctly.

Update

I updated a few projects with links to the pattern websites that I used.  I'm still looking for the others when I get a chance.

Stitch from Lilo and Stitch

One of these days I'll have a better way of doing photography on these guys.  

My eldest daughter requested Stitch for a friend's birthday.  I can't share this pattern, because I purchased it.  

Wolverine


This one didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped, but my grandson had been asking for a while.  He was totally thrilled with it and wouldn't let go of it for his entire visit. 




Lady bug

My eldest daughter's friend had a baby girl after several boys.  She did a lady bug theme for her room.  My daughter asked me to make a lady bug as a present.  

Lion-o


A very good online friend wanted me to try my hand at making Lion-o from Thundercats.  I will tweak this pattern if I ever make it again.  It was planned as a "one-of-a-kind" type of thing, but the friendship fell apart, so I may make him again if I get bored.  



Maromi from Paranoia Agent


One of my favorite animes is Paranoia Agent.  It definitely messes with your head.  The creepiest character is Maromi.  She is also the cutest.  Finding a pattern for her was very hard, but I found this one.  I'm not fond of the way she came out, and I already have plans to tweak the pattern on the next version. 




Gir

My kids and eldest grandson love Invader Zim.  I found a pattern for Gir in his dog suit.  This pattern was difficult.  I probably should've waited until I was more experienced with amigurumi to try it.  My grandson came for a visit, saw Gir and wanted him.  I had to rush and make a cupcake while he waited.  Unfortunately, the cupcake came out badly.  I used the first pattern I found which was fine.  The yarn, however, wasn't the right kind, so the cupcake is very rough looking and feeling. 


"I miss you, cupcake!"

"To make room for the cupcake!"

Atashi from Chobits

I like the anime Chobits, so I made Atashi.   A friend saw it, loved it, so it became her present.  I need to make another one at some point.




Calcifer (Howl's Moving Castle)


My youngest daughter loves Studio Ghibli and Howl's Moving Castle.  My second amigurumi attempt was Calcifer:



Boru-chan

My first amigurumi attempt: a round ball with eyes and a mouth.

My youngest son suggested using "hairy" yarn.  I added the eyes from the craft store.  This became very popular among my kids and their friends.




Pattern for the ball is here.  Btw, there are some freaking adorable amigurumi on that website.
