Hi all! I am now updating Saturday morning instead of Thursday morning. Gives me Friday night to chill and write my blog posts. As for what I’ve been doing, I’ve been adding a whole bunch of Facebook options to my site these past few days, and also Amazon store links. I think it looks quite nice, and I’ll continue doing more of that as I go along.
I also just finished writing my short story for the Bento comics anthology, titled . The anthology has a Peter Pan theme, and the Pickwicks are the neighbours of Wendy Darling and her family. The story isn’t due until March 15th, in time for release at TCAF, a comics convention in Toronto held on May 5-6th each year, so you may not see it in print until then. It’s just as well – I’m trying something new with this story, so you’ll all see it online sometime after the 15th March.
Today, I get to show you something Nintendo-related I crocheted a while ago – Kirby.
The star of his own Nintendo games, this Kirby is from a free pattern at iceblueberries’ blog, and I added 8mm safety eyes to him instead of crocheting the eyes. Amazingly, this seemed to suit Kirby a great deal, and he looks a dead ringer for the “real” McCoy!

Step 1: Crochet Kirby's body. This is only 30 stitches at its widest point, so it was done in no time.

Step 2: Added 8mm safety eyes, instead of crocheting the eyes. The eyes were a perfect fit for this size!
And here we have, THREE Kirbys…
