Domo looks menacing but is actually very polite and shy.

Domo-kun, a strange yet very polite creature that hatched from an egg, likes to rock, watch tv, hang out with an old rabbit dude and pass gas when nervous, is here for you in Amigurumi form. This Domo is a good medium size, finishes up to around 10 inches tall. Arms should be wired and it’s not a bad idea to weight his feet and bottom for stability. Black safety eyes or buttons are needed for the eyes. I used 8mm which I think were actually a bit on the small side.

I used felt to make the mouth panel because a crochet panel added too much thickness (I did try it and it looked wrong), and to switch colors in the actual pattern and work in the red as I went made a crooked mouth that slanted to the right because of the way the stitches are offset each from the previous row just a bit. I surface crocheted around the mouth to make it look a bit recessed and finish it off. The pattern, as with all of my patterns, is free.

Hello! Thank you!

Cute little Domo butt!

Yesterday treated me to a lovely meal and some fabulous (and rare) yarn stash additions. It was nice too because my mom rules and debuted her second ever needle felting creation, a Noby Noby Boy of her very own. Isn’t he cute?

No new patterns or anything up from me yet, because I was too busy procrastinating and doing these other various horrible things that I have to do in order to earn money to spend on yarn (work, ewww!), but soon my pets, soon, Little Sister and Domo-Kun are coming. I just need to type them up and double check my math (stitch count is such a pain!).

In the meantime, enjoy the awesomeness that is, needle felted NobyNoby Boy, by jojobongbong.
