"Who Lives in a Pineapple Under the Sea?"

SpongeBob Squarepants!

SpongeBob was a special request made by my little cousin, Anthony, who just happened to stop by while I was working on Captain America.  As I showed him the Captain-in-progress, his eyes became wide and he asked,

"Can you make me SpongeBob?"

 

And so I replied, "Yes, I can make you Spongebob."

 

 

 The best thing about Nickelodeon, I discovered, is that it plays SpongeBob Squarepants constantly. I simply turned on the television and made a quick sketch of the character.  Then, if I needed some clarification while working, I just turned the television on again and there he was.  Constantly available references.  Could it get more convenient?
 



I think they would make a pretty sweet rock band, don't you?

Crochet Captain America!

Happy New Year!!

The holiday season is finally over, and boy have I been busy. And by busy I mean crafty.  I decided to make several of my relatives' Christmas presents (which they all loved, so YAY!).  The only issue was I couldn't exactly post pictures of them on my blog until after all the gift-giving was done.  Kind of ruins the surprise if they see their gifts on the internet ahead of time, you know?  And so, over the next several posts, I will share with you my many crochet adventures. Let us begin with...

CAPTAIN AMERICA!




 



 

 

 

When I finished the Hulk, my brother-in-law offered to buy him. My sister enthusiastically requested that I make Captain America. So I decided to be all kinds of sneaky and surprise them both by giving them the heroes for Christmas.



Fighting Crime with Yarn

The Captain took quite a while to make. Not so much the body, mind you, but the detail! I also learned how to crochet a star, so that was pretty cool. Oh, and please excuse my pillow in the different views of the Captain...it's really hard to stand upright when you have nubs for feet. ^_^;
