Katamary Damacy do dee doo doo!

I tumbl.
I don't know if you guys know about Tumblr, but the first rule of Tumblr is that you don't talk about Tumblr.
XD
Anyways, I have a tumblr for my favorite videogame. But it's more than a video game to me. It is almost a way of life. A lot like crochet.
With that in mind, my friend suggested that I cross my favorite mediums.
Now, I have done that before. If you will recall both the Miso and Dipp amigurumi that I have done in the past. If not, here you go xD

But what my friend was suggesting was more. And actual yarn bombing of said Katamari thing instead of the coveting of said item that I normally do (come on! How can you not love little Miso! And Dipp was for my very best buddy Lex)

 Now of course, since my friend suggested this Katamari crossover idea, I have had all kinds of ideas pop into my head. Hopefully I get the chance to explore all of them.

To start, we have what I like to call Prince on a fence.

My gf said that it looked scary, staring at her from up on the fence.

I am sad to say though, that while these pictures look awesome, they are all I have of this lovely bomb, as it did not stay up even 6 hours while I went to work.

I should start including a little note on my tags that says, "If you're gonna take this, at least do something useful with it," but I will never know either way and there is no point in worrying about what happens to it after I put it up.

Anyway, I liked it. It was good. 

And I am glad that I got out and did a new tag.

Especially a Katamari one xD

(psssssst! katamaridamacy.tumblr.com Check it out!)

Not really a bomb...

Ok, I'll admit.
I have been distracted.
And it's not even by school!
A couple on months back, when I was enamoured with both etsy and yarnbombing, I stumbled across those bearded beanies.
I wondered if I could make myself one.
Well it turns out that I can! It was only a prototype, but it turned out surprisingly well. ( My roomate said it made me look like a homeless person)

And I learned a couple things about crochet.
And about myself.
I learned that I could make just about anything if I set my mind to it. With nothing but a crochet hook, yarn and imagination (ok, and possibly stuffing of some kind : D)
So after that, I was interested to try my hand at Amigurumi. I had seen someone make my beloved favorite videogame character Miso from Katamari (which I posted on my tumblr for Katamari http://katamaridamacy.tumblr.com/ ) so I thought I would give it a whirl.
It surprisingly turned out really well!

Again, for not following any kind of pattern, just going with how it was turning out and the basic skills I have.
So after the success of both those projects I wanted to try something a little more ambitious.
You remember my friends helmet? The one I put on the statue? The one with the broom on top? : D
I wanted a hat like that. A hat like a roman helmet.
Check it out!

It worked!
A couple people have said that I should make the fringe higher, more pronounced.
What do you think?
I also made a lance.

It... kinda... goes with the helmet. If I was to be completely true to the lance, I would try my hand at making a knights helmet, but that I do believe will be really hard. I do keep rolling the idea around inside my head either way.
Anyways, I realize this is not yarn bombing. I really do want to bomb some more ( and I even have some tags ready to go) but I have been distracted by these wonderful hats XD
Next I am trying a samurai helmet/hat. My broom helmeted friend doesn't think it's possible. I'll show him.
