I love this little Bart Simpson figure, it's perfect!

I've rated him medium difficulty because he looks quite fiddly at that size :)

Borderlands 2 Claptrap (CL4P-T4P)

Another great Nerdigurumi pattern.  Wonderful gift for any fan of the game Borderlands 2.

This pattern is not for the faint-hearted, though.
You'll need plastic canvas, copper electrical wiring and good crochet skills to get this baby up on his wheel.

Okay, I found one!   (I promised, didn't I?)

Note: you'll need some plastic canvas to help your creeper keep his shape.

Minecraft Creeper - Knit

Aren't they perfect!
I have a 9yo son who is absolutely obsessed with minecraft, and he would be over the moon if I were able to knit this for him.

Unfortunately, I don't knit, but his grandmother bought one of the 'official' creeper dolls from a game store for his birthday. So I'm off the hook.

I promise I'll be looking for crochet pattern & patterns other minecraft characters, like Steve ;)

Looks kind of fun :D
