night time is glow time

[kidmissile]

I can't sleep tonight, though I'm not industrious enough to make a little horsey. ;)

For the past few years, I've crocheted dolls as a Christmas present for my nephew. Wait, I mean "babies", because according to him "dolls are for girls!" =D Back in August he asked me to make him an alien, and he drew what he wanted:

[kidmissile]

Yeah, give it a try if you get the chance to order it.

I think your alien is beautifully realised! Well done! :D

[kidmissile]

Thanks! :)

Awesome! I'm planning on using the green Glow yarn for a project (as soon as my friend in CA mails it to me - they don't sell it around here anymore, we got rid of it where I work months ago), so it's good to know that it glows crazy well!

The alien looks -awesome-! I wish I could pattern stuff out, but alas I'm still following other people's. XD;

your icon cracks me up every time I see it. Just wanted to let you know!

And to the Original Poster:

Awesome job all around! That hat is super cool for a little boy who likes Ben 10! And your alien got really great, too! Bah, what am I saying? It's all fantastically done! :D

I didn't know there was any such animal as glow in the dark yarn! I must do some researching now! Thanks for sharing! :D

Hee, thank you! X3 He just looks like someone is bringing him a gift of epic science-y lulz with that face. One of these days I need to make a Vexen mood set. His expressions are so worth it!

Also need to finish my Vexen amigurumi, too. ^^;

*not-a-closet Vexen fan, yes*

for me it's even funnier because I don't look at that character and think "Vexen" I think Sephieroth and that's just 20x funnier because of the kinda guy ol' Sephie is. Too much Final Fantasy and not enough Kingdom Hearts probably... hehe

That's a fantastic alien you've got there! Very neat work, especially on the appendages! Bravo! Your nephew is really lucky!

[kidmissile]

Thanks, I was worried about the appendages for a while but finally decided to keep them in the interest of time and sanity. :)

I love the alien~ It's adorable! Great job
That yarn is so funky! 8D

Thanks! The yarn is pretty cool, sometimes a little hard to work with because it tends to split more than other yarns, but it's worth the trouble.
