Going to turn this into my crochet thread. So! Update!
After the piggy I wanted something simple that I could just whip out. It also had the added bonus of teaching me how to switch colors, and I ended up making two of these. The first one with green yarn but then the stripe didn't look right. It was really offset when done. So then I looked up how to lessen that effect. I ended up learning two things on this one then, and here is my final result. The Pokeball!
And now the thing I've been working on for the last day or so. Was talking with Que in IRC saying I was looking for a new project and that I had a ton of red yarn. So he said Super Meat Boy!
He's still a work in progress. I got lucky on the eyes, found those two in my moms tin of buttons but they were the only two. I'll have to pick up some "safety eyes" as they are called, made just for this sort of thing. I'm not sure what to do with the mouth yet. Could maybe do the big toothy grin with some felt, but haven't decided.
I have a lot of pink yarn too, so I might also make Bandage Girl to go with him.
