Doctor Who Crochet Doll

*********UPDATE 11-17-09*********
Yay this is now featured on Geek Crafts Oh there is one tiny little correction I would like to add. The Glasses are pipe cleaners they aren't crocheted. They kinda do look crocheted at first glance though :D
**********************************

I made this Doctor Who doll for my swap partner on Craftster. He is now hers to love :D










The adjustments to make this doll are here

Edward

I finally made an Edward doll (Edward Cullen from Twilight) :D I always pictured him in warmer colors because of how sweet and gentle he is.
**********I have the Pattern at My Etsy Store**********
Yay more good news. My Edward was featured on craftster's January 2009 featured crochet projects

FREE crochet GIR pattern

Doom Doom Doom Doom
ok I know other people have made a crochet Gir but I haven't been able to find a pattern. Plus I'm never happy unless I do it myself. DIY all the way. so here are some pics. I didn't have the lighter grey that is why he looks a bit dark.



This is the 2nd Gir I made. I made the shoulders bigger, I crocheted around the feet, & I found some grey yarn that was the perfect color :) The pattern below has all the changes in it.

ok you want the pattern??
do a little dance............
doot doot do dee do doot do do
LOL







ok here ya go:
