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.

And now for something completely different

Here's Roy.
Good ol Roy hangs out on the bridge to Mattick's farm.
While on our bike ride, we stopped to take a break (and yarn bomb my spine tag!) by dear old Roy and decided to have an improptue photo shoot.

Roy's never looked better in my friends fetching Marvin the Martian style helmet ( or as drunk people around town like to yell, Spartan!!) and the Hufflepuff tag/scarf I made in tribute to my girlfriend.

That's also my friends incredibly pimpin Townie that he just picked up. Roy looks like he would love to go for a ride XD
Keep up the good work Roy.
Enjoy!
