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.

I started working on this prototype pattern in hopes of finding a way to make the PS3 controller a bit more comfortable to clutch for hours on end. It’s a good start, though I did mess up the mirroring of the bootie part so that is why it’s taller on one side than the other. I will be fleshing it out a bit more, sorting out some bits and posting a finished pattern when I am satisfied that it looks good and is all evened out.

In terms of functionality, it’s more comfy than the naked controller, you can hold it in a sort of more relaxed way, but the cone parts slip around more than I’d like them to, so I think I’ll add some little teeny dabs of silicone, once cured they’ll be like grippy little nubs on the inside to give traction and keep things in place (think like the little traction bits they have on the bottom of some slippers/socks). It’s totally removable

In other news… I am off to go fetch the windex and cotton swabs to clean our game controllers. May these photos serve as a sobering reminder of the consequences of eating cheetos whilst going on videogame benders.
