Zombie Card

Chris drew this awesome card to send along with my tiny zombie to our friends. He's drawn these sort of cards for several other toys that I've made and I absolutely love his style.

Tiny Braaaainss!!

I'm no stranger to zombie making as you can see above. I made that guy in January of 2009 from the Corporate Zombie pattern in Creepy Cute Crochet. That was probably my favorite pattern that I've made so far from the book.

Well, two friends of mine recently moved all the way to San Francisco. These friends had really liked my original zombie and we had joked that I would teach them how to crochet so that they could make an army of zombies and leave them randomly around New York City to create a full on zombie invasion and maybe make someones day more interesting. So I never got a chance to teach either of them to crochet but I decided to make them a tiny zombie as a way to say that we missed them and maybe I'll send them a few more zombies throughout the year and they can start their zombie apocalypse on the West Coast.


I'm really happy with how the tiny zombie came out. The Oreo gives you a sense of scale. This was a very tiny zombie. I wasn't sure if the pattern would hold up this small but I was pleasantly surprised. I think that the details are still cute and aren't so small that they get lost. I think the next zombie's going to be a girl just to switch things up.

Brains...Brains!

I finished crocheting some toys for a few friends of mine and I think they came out pretty damn cute. The patterns are from the book Creepy Cute Crochet by Christen Haden. I'm most in love with the zombie. Getting to give him a little tiny haircut was a blast. And that felt blood drip just came out perfectly. I never though that I would find dripping blood so cute but it totally is.

Once the toys were done I asked Chris to draw up some super cute gift tags to go with them. He's so talented. These still haven't made their way to Austin, Norana and Richard yet so shhhh...
