As it is the beginning of Amigurumay2023 and @somerandomdudelmao absolutely ripped apart my heart with their latest comic update, I have decided to show off what I'm currently making to give myself some much needed fluff and comfort:

Boom!

Baby turtles in cuddly amigurumi form 🥰 they're still very much in progress and need a lot of tweaking but so far so good

It’s Official--I’ve gone TMNT (by crocheting Raphael)

If you’ve been following me for any length of time you’ll have noticed that I’ve been posting Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle stuff for the last several months or so. I’m finally making it official--changing my icon and everything! I still do love my Transformers, they’ve just been sidelined (and crossed over in the RPs I play, they really are the most adaptable fictional characters in current pop culture). Anyway, the shift was triggered by a request from one of my cousins. The story and pictures of Crochet Raphael under the cut.

So, I’ve been crocheting since 2010 or so. Sometime in 2021, one of my cousins asked his mom to make a crocheted Raphael. (Which continuity wasn’t specified.) She “doesn’t do 3D” work, so she asked my mom if I’d be willing to do it. She also sent a link to a suggested pattern. That was for a chibi sort of Raph. That pattern didn’t strike me as cool enough, so I went looking for one I liked better. I found one on Ravelry. The designer’s done patterns for all four turtles--you can see them here.

I bought the pattern and started working on him. Then my inability to stick to a pattern kicked in. “Real turtles don’t have masks worked in as part of their heads!” (Yes, I know that real world turtles tend not to wear masks at all. It’s too hard to keep them in place when diving or pulling into one’s shell.) “His shell needs to be bigger.” “Mom thinks that mouth looks like he’s got a cigarette in his mouth.” So what should have taken a couple months or so of off-again, on-again work...took a lot longer than that. I got carried away. While I was working, “frogging” body parts that didn’t come out right the first three times, and adding things, I figured “hey, I’ll watch/listen to some of the movies and TV shows while I work on this little guy”.

I became turtle obsessed right about the third or fourth time through the Bayverse 2016 movie. Since then, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched the Bayverse movies (we need more of those, like right now) and the 2012 series, and I’ve been through Rise + movie at least three times now. I also finally finished Raphael. I took some pictures of him before sending him off to my cousin. 

His shell is a proper-sized turtle shell. It is attached to his body. His mask, belt, knee and elbow pads, and wrist and ankle wraps are not. His belt actually fell off during his travels. 

Please take note of his little hands. Those fingers and hands were redone about eight times. Which isn’t stopping me from planning to do little toes on my eventual set of turtles. Because real ninja turtles have at least two toes to a foot.

I took him to Mom and Dad’s to practice his ninja skills.

He sorta blends in with the hibiscus.

The chrysanthemums, not so much.

Indoors also posed some challenges to a ninja wearing red.

I miss the little guy. I plan on making myself a set of turtles sooner or later. (After I make some more progress on the two or three dozen OTHER projects I’ve got at some stage of WIP or another.)

Anyway--the fangirl section of my brain is pretty much all turtles, all the time now. Anyone want help fleshing out an AU or plotting something?

Crochet Master Splinter

Mostly based on tmnt 2003, but he kinda has the pink paws (hands?) and ears of rottmnt splinter too?

Crochet pattern I used for regular rat can be found here:

look, if your stuck in a computer and don't take advantage of that by carrying your digital son around like a teddybear, than what's the point.

may have just realized that Preferable Alternative Donnie was probably not alone in his computer, and that Shelldon would be ecstatic about being able to get proper dad cuddles.

Mkay so a few weeks ago I saw that today was the 2 year anniversary of the rise movie so I was like, “aha! I’ll definitely prepare something and not miss this anniversary!”

Suffice to say I found out today was the 2 year anniversary a few hours ago but I couldn’t let it go uncelebrated so I watched the rise movie again (<3 most uncomforting comfort movie) and lots of season one while I made Leo!

I absolutely love him and now he and Frida can be buddies- Frida? What are you doing? FRIDA NO-

Idk apparently there can only be one or something give her grace she still needs to go through her character development

Oh and I can make him (or a different turtle, canon or oc) for you over at my etsyyyyy ^^

*Pattern Tester Application*

If you would like to apply to be a pattern tester, please fill out the form below! I am accepting four applicants. I cannot stress enough that becoming a pattern tester means you are testing the written pattern for inconsistencies and flaws so that I may sell it later. Your only compensation will be a free pattern for the turtle tot of your choosing! You do not have the right to circulate said pattern, or to profit off of what you make from it. You are also responsible for buying your own supplies. The loose deadline to have the pattern completed is by the end of September (subject to change).

Application:

Please send me an ask if you have any questions! Good luck everyone!

Completed a set of custom TMNT pals!

I’ve made this set a couple times before but I always sent them out and forgot to take pictures of them. 🥲 I just get so excited to send out my little babies to their forever homes!

So here’s my take on the Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

I love all my TMNT babies but this rendition definitely has the most variety between brothers, which I love!

We’re going apple picking later today so I had to crochet Raph a little outfit ✨

[nei-ning]

Pinterest is at it again, giving me funny posts like this :D

[leisi-lilacdreams]

i'm dying i'm crying i might be losing my mind even

[fyeah-tmnt]

I did something

look how ugly he is 🐢✨

i love him

lmao

my boy 😌

(yes, the others are coming soon, this one took me like 3hrs to make (honestly tho this is very approximate because I posted on FB that I was starting it 6hrs ago (this is a scheduled post, i originally wrote at 2 AM (yes i should be asleep)), and I finished it 30 mins ago, but there was a lot of "non-actively crocheting" moments because i am unable to not do 90 different things at the same time. So yea no idea how much it took me but I can say one thing for sure "less than 6 hours" lmao

[cinnamonbloom]

Ehehehehehee yesss

AHAHAHA THE BABIESS

Lil prince and kid Leo <333 (was super excited when I saw that there were 2 Leos when I found them and that lp was really close to my bday)

(big ol thanks to @angelpuns, @beannary, and my sister @kestrelcurse bc she bought them)

(AND ANOTHER SISTER FOR MAKING THE SILLY CROCHET ONE)

I knew LP had come but I could get him for a month still TwT

[chronically-obsessed-w-turtles]

Look at this turtle

Made Leo his trench coat

Just look at him!

Also, it’s hilarious how no one thinks anything of their green skin, lack of a nose, and three fingers when the turtles go out in disguise.
