A not-so-long time ago (5 years ago), in a galaxy not-so-far away (Milky Way, Earth, Houston TX), I taught myself how to crochet. I tinkered around, starting out with lumpy generic little dolls, until I got bored and started making lumpy little superheroes instead.
From there things got a little out of control, and it got to a point where if it was geeky and fun, Iโd try to make it out of yarn. Captain America? Done! Chewbacca? Got it. Frida Kahlo, for no reason other than the fact that I REALLY wanted an excuse to put a tiny little unibrow on her? Done and done. Five years later, Iโve amassed a collection of little characters ranging in categories from comic book characters to sci-fi monsters to stuff in the all-encompassing โI just freaking felt like making itโ category.
Sometimes I keep the little guys for myself, but most of the time I give them away, and every year I make a bunch to scatter around San Diego Comic-Con for people to find. I tag them with my contact info, and then I cross my fingers and hope that theyโll be given good homes. So far Iโve had a good turnout of adoptions, and hopefully theyโll eventually take over the world, one goofy little sack of yarn at a time!
