Despicable Me Minions

OKAY! I'm alive, mad not emo, and been crocehting so I finally have motivation and items to post :D
So let me finally introduce the Minions! The pattern from the shorter one comes from CrochetGoods and I just added more sc to make the other one taller. I used the usual Suger'n Cream brand yarn and felt. I did some makeshift felt work instead of crocheting the goggles and using googly eyes. I do gotta say that cutting out a G that small sucked, but then again but I'm not exactly doing all this at a proper table. I found this pattern cuter than the one from WolfDreamer who proves a pattern for a really large one if you want. Not much else I can say about these guys other than my friend was way to amused putting them in suggestive positions. Anyway, off to eat dinner so more will be up tonight.

Jawa

Say hello to my quickly and crudely made Jawa. So my best friend (Josh who just got back home, yay friend) is also a star wars fanatic and we were talking about SWTOR and he mentioned Blizz the Jawa as a companion in the game. Then I had an epiphany; Josh was going on a hiking trip for 10 days and he could totally have a companion. So I made him his own Blizz. His sarcastically agreed and so right now, Blizz on a trip and will return with adventure pictures better than my quick ones; granted Josh didnt forget to bring him -_- well i'll know in 10 days...

So on to the technical stuff. No pattern, just completely made from guess work. Made the body and arms with yarn. There were a lot of longer stitches because I was trying to finish it quickly. The head was felt because I needed to create an easy way to remove the lights and batteries because I did not build it with a switch. I probably should have taken a picture of my apparatus so lets hope he returns to me in one piece.

I took physics in college and learned how to make a basic circuit (at least I took something useful from that class). I used (from radioshack) two yellow LED lights, 2 wires (or was it an extra for.. just get a spool), AA battery holder with built in pos and neg wires, electrical tape and heat shrink tubing (I didnt quite know about the shrink tubing, thnx josh). The wires I used were too large so the circuit is a bit faulty because I couldnt intertwine it that well. The robe is 4 pieces of felt sewed together and 2 strips to make the belt and shoulder strap. I wanted to use leather but I ran out of time. When sewing the hood, I pulled on the string which gave it a more curved look.

So ya I think that's about it, remember don't look under a jawa's hood. Sorry I've been slacking with my creations. Josh came home to chill, I was on a trip job hunting, and I'm just tired. I tried making a super mario mushroom on my trip but it didnt turn out right and the jawa I had to redo multiple times since it was of my own design. I promise more amigurumi soon... hopefully my arm doesnt die from all the work :P Now time to go be lazy <3
