Terriermon

Someone requested this on Ravelry awhile ago but I didn't have the materials to make him then. But when I got yarn to finish a baby blanket I've been making, but lacked the crochet hook to do it (thus are the hazards of moving), I was able to make this little guy in the meantime. He's small, about the size of my hand; one day I may make a bigger one. Or, if anyone wants to test the pattern for me, I can try multiplying the rounds to make it larger.

Edit: Added Lopmon picture. To make, change colors as listed below and add 2 smaller horns.

Homer Simpson

My cousin loves the Simpsons, so I made this Homer for her birthday. I'm not sure which family member I'll make next, it depends on what she likes, but with respect to her anyway, birthday and Christmas presents will be easy. I had trouble finding a good yellow though so I ended up doubling up a crochet thread (I used Aunt Lydia's Goldenrod). I'd love to see it in worsted weight yarn.

Update: Here's a picture of a worsted weight version I made for my father.
