I saw my bestfriend the other day and he gave me 5 furbies! They were kinda dirty some I immediately skinned them.

[thefurb]

I had to put my furbies in a storage unit :(

[thefurb]

So I was looking on Mercari... someone wants $44 for this guy... They said he's "a little dirty"... tbh I feel bad for this furby... so dirty... so overpriced...

[thefurb]

breaking news: for my next art project I’m going to use Furbys as a symbol for the demonization of people that don’t deserve it.

Because. yk.

They’re cute childrens toys that are treated like they’re horrible creepy creatures that prey on children, for some reason.

Howdy

So I could really use some help. My family and I might be moving to Norway. First we are going to go there for a few months to try and find a nice area and such. Having my furbies with me during this period of time would definitely help me through it. Unfortunately I can't bring all of them with me and some of them will have to be put in storage. I'm having a pretty hard time choosing which ones I want to bring with me. I know I want to bring Magdalena and Poncho. I think I could fit a couple more into my suit case. I can't bring Squeet because he's to big and I can't bring Peanutbutter Mildew because I'm afraid that their antennas would get damaged in my suitcase. I don't know which of my babies I should pick... I really appreciate some input.

Covid Precautions: We will of course wear masks and social distance etc. We will also be quarantining and following all of the rules and regulations that have been put in place.

I LOVE YOUR FURBY :DDDDDD

I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT BUT I REALLY APPRECIATE IT! I'M GLAD YOU LIKE THEM!

Furbies are angels.

Furbies are so endearing to me because here's this old robot who's mostly been forgotten by people, yet here I have them in my possession. I have this old toy most people wouldn't give a shit about and I'm able to bring life and care back into it. Especially with broken ones or ones that don't work right, the ones falling apart with garbling vocals, it's so satisfying and fulfilling. Furbies really are little angels.

I've been really into squishmallows lately so I designed a furby squishmallow. I might make it. I'm not great at sewing though.

FURBIES AREN'T CURSED

[thefurb]

Re-rebloging this because I think I figured it out. It think furbies could be similar to platypuses. This would mean they are mammals but they have "bird like" features (duck bill). Also I think I saw somewhere in the furby manual about furbies being similar entities to angel which are also depicted as mammals with "bird like" features (feathery wings).

Welcome back to tumblr discourse, today's topic: is a furby a bird, a mammal, or a reptile?

Why did I bring this to tumblr? ...spite.

This is very intriguing. It's definitely a conversation that needs to be had.

OMG THANKS!! Now I need to learn how to knit...

Free Furby Knitting Pattern

This is the pattern I came up with to make Furbies, in case anyone wants to have a go, If you do please show me the results! Keep in mind gauge might vary from person to person and you might need to make adaptions.

Here are some very handsome models!

Both lime green furbs are looking for their forever home, the white and green furbies favourite food is Granny Smith Apples and they love music that transports them to new worlds.

The navy and green furby really loves smoothies, and reading during thunderstorms.

Check out my etsy if you fancy bringing them home!

Text version of the pattern below:

Furby Knitting Pattern

For DK yarn and size 4 needles, if using thicker yarn (and you don’t want a massive furb) reduce stitch numbers by roughlyfive for every size increase. This pattern uses stocking stitch, but that can be substituted for your preferred stitch style, and I recommend a video tutorial for loop stitches if you’re unfamiliar with them.

K2tog: Knit two together

p2tog: Purl two together

St st: Stocking stitch

K: Knit

*-*: Repeat till end of row

Mk1: Make one

Body:

Cast on 30 stitches. (Reduction example: 25 if using aran or 4.5mm needles)

Work in St St for 2 inches, or as long as you want.

On a knit row, cast on another 10 stitches at the edge. (8 if using aran or 4.5mm needles)

Work in st st for 4 rows.

Begin shaping the head:

Row 1: K1, *k2 tog, k5*

Row 2: Purl

Row 3: K1, *k2tog, k4*

Row 4: Purl

Row 5: K1, *k2tog, k3*

Row 6: Purl

Row 7: K1, *k2tog, k2*

Row 8: Purl

Row 9: K1, *k2tog, k1*

Row 10: Purl

Row 11: *K2tog*

Cut the yarn and using a yarn needle thread the tail through the remaining stitches and pull them closed, then sew the seam closed between the top of the head and the stomach.

Stomach:

Cast on 12

Work in st st for 2 inches, or as long as the body

Cast off, then sew onto the body.

Mane:

Cast on 8

Row 1: Purl

Row 2: Loop knitting

Repeat rows 1 and 2 until the mane is as long as you want it, then p2tog and continue pattern for 4 more rows.

Cast off and sew onto body.

- alternatively, knit a rectangle and fold it over, then sew it onto the head and body. -

Ears: (make 4)

Cast on 13

Work in st st for 4 rows, then k2tog at each end of every alternate row until 3 remain.

Cast off, then sew two sides together and attach to body along the bottom, or at the edges of the ears leaving the middle unattached like the original furbs.

Bottom:

Cast on 10

Rows 1 – 3: st st

Row 4: K1, mk1, k 8, mk1, k1

Row 5: Purl

Row 6: K1, mk1, k10, mk1, k1

Row 7: Purl

Row 8: K1, mk1, k12, mk1, k1

Row 9: Purl

Row 10: K1, mk1, k14, mk1, k1 (stop here for next size increase and miss rows 11 and 12)

Row 11 – 13: St st

Row 14: K2tog, k14, k2tog

Row 15: Purl

Row 16: K2tog, k12, k2tog

Row 17: Purl

Row 18: K2tog, k10, k2tog

Row 19: Purl

Row 20: K2tog, k8, k2tog

Row 21: Purl

Row 22: cast off

Sew onto the bottom of the Furby, attaching sewn feet and leaving a gap at the back for stuffing.

Final assembly:

Now is the time to glue on a faceplate and include a spine if you’ve made a long one, then stuff the Furby and sew closed.

Oh my... wow... I need one.

I made new little furby🥰🥰

[thefurb]

I can't buy another furby right now but he's just so dang cute. Somebody better buy him and give him a furbever home.

Hi everyone! As I said before, I'm finally done with this little guy so I am putting him up for sale.

Penguinby is a working fully costumized furby made to look like a penguin. He is stuffed so he is softer to the touch and has a rounder look. I also changed his eye chips and gave him a little hat. Penguinby feet has also been modified to look more like penguins' feet.

Penguinby gears aren't extremely loud and his voice is pretty clear, I can provide a video upon request.

I am asking 60€ + shipping (50£ for our friends from the UK) for this little guy, I can ship all over Europe, but sadly as in this moment I can't really ship internationally. He'll also come with a little surprise and a piece of art made by me.

(For our UK friends please send me a message in case you were interested in buying this furby because whith everything that is going on with breaxit right now shipping there may require some extra costs from both our parts and the last thing I want is your package to get stuck somewhere)

Shoot us a PM asking for this little dude in case you were interested in buying him!

Also worth mentioning: We are about to open some custom commissions slots with some bases we currently have, feel free to ask for them if you're interested in a custom furby!

I'm currently experiencing a furby burnout. It makes me really sad...

[thefurb]

Here's a picture of squishypie before I finished him.

My day is going horribly and I feel like shit. Can people please reblog this with toys and furbies and plushies please? Seeing them makes my day better
