Hobbes Stuffed Animal: Calvin and Hobbes

Last month my coworker sent me this pattern for crocheting a stuffed animal Hobbes from Calvin and Hobbes for his son. I actually have never read any of the Calvin and Hobbes comics, but I knew of it.  When I saw the pattern, I was a little confused because I didn't recall seeing Hobbes as a stuffed animal until my boyfriend explained to me that Hobbes IS a stuffed animal, just that Calvin's imagination shows us Hobbes as a "real" tiger. 

It's been a while since I last crocheted a stuffed animal, and I have to say I'm very anal when it comes to accuracy and making sure it at least looks like the comic. This Hobbes pattern by Sukigirl was a great and easy to read pattern.  I completed it successfully and was very proud of it! So happy with it I wished I could keep it.........

Bat Cat!

OH my it's been a while since I last made a post. But since me and my friend started a website, it's been so busy !! Please visit LiftedGeek.com! and like us on facebook!  I have a section devoted to Fib in all his costumes along with a funny comic to go with it. The section is called "My Poor Kitty"

Meanwhile i'll continue to post my crochet projects on here, but it will also have more and maybe even patterns on the website.  

For now, this post will be about Bat Cat! A full on bat costume for the one and only, my cat.

He actually crawled into it... 

hello!! hahahaha

and there's the back!

and now the bat mask :)
na na na na na na na na Bat Cat!

The Feline Flash!

I did it... I made a full body costume for the cat!!!!  ok minus the booties, that would be too mean ;)  he actually hates the booties hahaha.  But everything else he is fine!! I am pretty happy about the way it turned out, and I'm sure he is too ;) hahaha.  Surprisingly he is ok with that on his head... at least until nap time. Just because of how awesome this costume is, I uploaded a video for everyone's entertainment, and to see how fast he can go! ;)  After all, he is The Flash! [(c) DC Comics]

Meanwhile, here are some other pictures of him and my work :)

Spider Man Cat!

The Amazing Spider Man movie came out this last week! My boyfriend and I saw it this weekend, and so it definitely inspired me to make my cat a spider man sweater !

The spider design took some time, i had to draw it out in the paint program at first .. but it turned out well!

Unfortunately there is no spidey mask (SORRY!), i thought about it.. and i really really really want to make one! But for some reason my mind can't wrap around how to do it.  I can add ear holes alright but i can't seem to think about how to make the eyes work.  it's possible i'm sure but I'm too lazy to look into it .  The sweater is cool enough anyway :)

Uncle Sam Cat Outfit!

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY!

Modified once again from DIY Maven.

Turquoise Beret Hat!

Omgoodness i've been slacking on posting my projects! It's been a while since I've come up with my own stuff.. I should .. really try to create an awesome hat, but i'm not that gifted yet :) 


This one is by Pierrot Yarns, it's a japanese yarn website (in english) and provides many many free patterns (japanese)! I particular was fond of this Beret.  I think i followed it as is, but extended the band a few more rows, and repeated round 9 six more times instead of four.  Overall this is my new favorite spring hat to wear, and I've already received so many compliments already!


I used Cascade Wool Yarn for this project.

it's kind of weird the close photos look a little heathery, but it's not! It's a gorgeous turquoise (or teal) just like in the bottom photo.  I love the way it looks!

Despicable Me Minion!

One of my friends had requested I make this, and they sent me a pattern here by Lurose18.


It was really fun to make haha took me an evening to put together.  Enjoy!!!!

and then I added the hair :)

And then the cat =^.^=

Rainbow Kitchen Mat!

I made my first kitchen mat! It's not .. like.. that GREAT, i think i could have made it less "wavy" now after I have put it all together and realized what's wrong, but i think i have a solution anyway. anyways, this is based on a pattern from Pierrot Yarns, which is a japanese website, and they have free patterns for many many cool things! but I went with the "Mat Rug" category and decided to make use of my Sugar n Cream cotton yarns that i bought a while back in like all different colors.. but some of the colors in my rug are acrylic, like the edging.  Anyways here it is ! my Rainbow Kitchen Mat!

stupid photo can't flip right...but yes the cat wanted in.

I asked him if he liked it. i think this is a yes. 

Yay! my not so boring kitchen floor!

And that's that! gonna add some stickies on the bottom so it doesn't like roll around on the floor. but i'm not sure what to do about the "waves".. maybe slip stitch along the bottom tightly? i don't know. but i like it!!! 

Working on a motif red/white picnic blanket next..... whee!

Leprechaun Cat!!

YES I DID!!!!! 
My little leprechaun! Sweater again based on DIY Maven, except I extended the rows by 6 or something. maybe more. The yarn was basically chunky; used green super saver + worsted weight light green together with a G hook.  I didn't have the right color green so i thought i'd mix :) the hat again is custom.


ok photos!

I wanted to add like a green pipe cleaner thingy and making a clover stick out of his hat. But I don't have any :( it woulda been so cute if I could!! 

HAPPY ST PATTYS!

Miss Piggy!

I crocheted a gigantic pig for Abby's birthday present; all credit goes to designshop.  it was fun doing this! though I had the hardest time tryin to attach the limbs.. i always do :( So I made a scarf (UW colored!) so at least make the head-to-body attachment hidden cuz it looks so funny!


Anyways here are those photos! I'm just glad it took an entire skein of pink Red Heart and none more!

Pretty cute pig!!! 

Santa's Little Helper Cat!

Well first of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR!
However, let's back track a little bit since I'm obviously a little behind with what i'm about to show you all (hence the title of the post).


The christmas season was quite busy, and getting that time off to be with my family and other half was extremely busy I just didn't have time to post Fibby's new outfit!


I originally meant to put Butternut (my family's persian cat) into the Santa outfit I made last year for Fibby and with Fibby in his new Elf outfit and take photos of them side by side. But I just didn't get that chance :(


Well here's the outfit! Again, credit goes to Diy Maven for the sweater; I modified again and elongated it, and then added in the others.  


Enjoy!

I didn't actually end up making a "chin strap" on the hat, i don't know why. I guess I just didn't think about it! 


But anyways, Fib as usual doesn't care so much about having these sweaters on, and ended up sleeping with them on with me, purring away! It's just great to have a dog-like cat!

Husky Cat!!

GO HUSKIES! 
Apple Cup is quickly approaching (November 26)!
And it's that time to dress the cat up again!
Sweater pattern is by DIY Maven, the patterns in the sweaters all done by me.

GO HUSKIES! 

Web of Winter Slouchy Hat

I just made a gorgeous hat!! I love it.  it was made from Lamb's Pride Bulky wool, and it was followed from a pattern by Natalie Thouret Brock.  I absolutely love this hat.  


Here are some photos!

New favorite hat! :)

And of course the cat was involved too.
