== Content ==
			
Ever since I saw the rowsdower plushies sold at PAX, I knew I wanted to try and make one of my own. I finally got around to devoting some time to making one from scratch with crochet when my internet was unreliable for 2 weeks. So while I waited to be able to play Wildstar again, I managed to design a pretty nice looking plushie (at least I think so)
 
I'm so excited to finally post this, just finished this morning! It's taken a few weeks to design a pattern, and about 3 days to assemble the finished product! 
He stands on his own, is 9" long and 6.5" high. I crocheted the body, head, horns and limbs then attached each strand of yarn for the wool by hand to the body in a latch-hook fashion.
There's still a lot to be improved on, which I'll implement in my second version of it. The head isn't proportionate to the body, and I used the wrong color yarn for the legs. But I'm still happy with it! I think I really managed to capture the bored/apathetic look I've seen on rowsdowers.
I have plans to make more plushies, though first I'll be making a few hats and maybe scarves (this cold weather is really making me want to make warm, cozy things!)
I'll add more to the thread as I make them, I work pretty slowly tho T.T So yeah if anyone else has any crochet, knit, sewn, etc projects I'd love to see them!

			*blush* thank you all so much for the kind words it's really motivating me to continue working on plushies!And while I appreciate those of you who like it enough to want to buy that wasn't my intent when I made it! I just saw the plushies and wanted one of my own so I made one lol.This is purely for mine and my husbands enjoyment (he's hoping to get a sick Squidora helm IRL!)And to stick it to my guildies who called my crochet an "old lady hobby" :P now back to my current WIP: Squirg plushie!

Do you accept chocolate coins?
 
But seriously, get an etsy account and sell them crochet rowsdowers and squirgs and equivars.	
----
			
Equivars I hadn't even thought of making. Might add that to my list of inspiration lol but I have quite a few I'd like to try making first. 
 
My design process on the Squirg is going a bit faster than the Rowsdower thank goodness. Hopefully I'll have it done soon and can work on my husbands Squidora helm this week!	
----
			
Well the squirg plushie has been abandoned for the time being because it has infuriated me! lol So instead I'll just share my Rowsdower 2.0 to hold you guys over until my Squidora helm is done!
I think he turned out perfect! On to build my army of plushies and wear-ables!	
----
			
My husband's Squidora helm is finally finished, and he agreed to model it for me!
The tentacles in the back are designed to be used as a scarf, which worked out waaaay better than I thought it would (They're hard to see in the pics)
Basically since the tentacles on the helm wrap around the head I wanted to do the same but with a scarf 
Edit: Reduced image sizes

Just finished this morning! Cubig Plushie
Btw sorry about the huge image sizes before, I hadn't thought I needed to make them smaller since they were phone pictures. From now on I'll keep them at a more manageable size.
He's 6" high and 6" long and though his design is simple I think I really nailed the "ugly but sorta cute" vibe I was going for. :D

*cupcake* you got Skills!!
 
I love all of these, I was actually considering getting a friend of mine to do something Similar for a giveaway on my Youtube.
 
But i dont want to Rip you off and these are to amazing and should stay Unique...
 
That said, I WANT ONE!!
 
Keep it up i love this thread, i'll be watching for more awsome creations!	
----
			
If your friend wants to make some as well, I think that's awesome! Haha and it's definitely not ripping me off. Wildstar and NCsoft are the creators I just happened to make myself some fanart of their awesome characters. I'd honestly love to see more people make plushies with crochet, knitting, sewing, etc!
 
So please don't feel like you can't just because I got to it first lol. (Heck I know I'm not the first actually. I saw some really cool chompacabra plushies made a while back, wish I knew who'd made them!)
 
Just be sure to post pics so we can all see them when they're done!
