I have been working on a couple of special orders lately. One happens to be for a Brony who really, really needs a My Little Pony. I'm not the most familiar with these guys anymore. I remember them from when I was little, but since then they have kind of gotten lost in the pile of mind-numbing cartoons my daughters love. It turns out, there is an entire adult male following, who call themselves "Bronies." I am seriously amused and so, had to take on the task of crocheting a 12-inch tall Rainbow Dash. As you probably know, I just can't follow a pattern, so usually when I take on amirigumi, it's kind of fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants and is subject to artistic interpretation. I can't even tell you how excited I was when I finally got the 4th leg done. Whew. Then I checked the picture and started swearing like a toothless pirate when I saw the be-hatch needed wings. GAH! We have a love-hate relationship right now. Anyway, she is getting there and for the most part, turning out pretty accurate:
The wings are posing some problems. This one needs another layer and maybe some tailoring to get it a little less...hand-y. It is definitely the biggest crochet project I have ever taken on and has taken me the longest. Take THAT attention deficit disorder!
Then, another customer approached me to crochet him a Bomb-om for his desk. It originally was supposed to be a coffee mug cozy, but at the last minute, he changed his order to a straight up amigurumi. Either way, he is awesome.
Yeah, you better run Mario.
