My plushies seemed to be a hit, and I couldn’t be more pleased. It makes me feel wonderful to give my time as well as my money to a great cause. The final two plushies I made were a Metroid (see above; Ravelry page here) and a surprise, last-minute Ocarina of Time (Ravelry page here).

More plushies, hats, and other goods are always on the way.

His Ravelry project page is here! Please watch JRDQ and donate to Doctors Without Borders, for a chance to win him during 0xwas’s run of Kirby Super Star tomorrow around 2 pm EDT (GMT-4)!

A Red Moo, from Klonoa 2: Lunatea’s Veil! (Ravelry page here.) And…

A yellow Luma, from Super Mario Galaxy! (Ravelry page here.)

Please come visit SDA and help us raise money for Japan!

These are, yet again, for SDA’s Japan Relief Done Quick! We’ll be raising money for Doctors Without Borders, who are currently doing humanitarian work in Japan to aid the tsunami and earthquake victims. If you donate $5 or more during the speedrun of Dr. Mario, you’ll have a chance to win one of these three viruses! Please help us raise money for a wonderful charity, and have fun watching us speedrun games!

Yes, it’s a Fobby, from the game Earthbound! (Ravelry project page here.) As you might have guessed, this little guy will also be given away to a random donor who gives $5 or more to Doctors Without Borders during the speedrun of Earthbound at JRDQ. I’m on a bit of a roll today, finishing two plushies and already considering a third… I should probably get some rest instead, though. More plushies are calling to me, but I’ll work on them tomorrow!

(Ravelry project page here.) I’m very happy with how he came out! He is 5″ tall and squishy (though not full of meat, just polyester fiberfil). You could win him if you donate $5 or more to Doctors Without Borders during Japan Relief Done Quick!

(Ravelry project page, with more photos and information, is here.)

A random donor who gives $5 or more to Doctors Without Borders will be the recipient of this little guy. 🙂 Don’t forget to watch Japan Relief Done Quick April 7 – 10 on Speed Demos Archive!

This one is nearly identical to the hat I made for Speed Demos Archive‘s Awesome Games Done Quick. The only difference is that this one has eight bumps instead of seven, which (in my opinion) fills the hat out better. Also, this hat took exactly one skein of Vanna’s Choice Baby yarn, in the colorway Sweet Pea. I think it’s the perfect shade for the green katamari ball! The Ravelry project page for this hat is here.

(Vanna White is “America’s favorite crocheter”, did you know that?)

My next project follows the katamari vein–I am going to make the Prince of All Cosmos! But while I am making more progress in my customer queue, I will also be making a few small prizes for SDA’s emergency charity event, Japan Relief Done Quick. Yes, that means you can win some of my plushies for donating at least $5 to charity! I will post more details here about the marathon when things are more firmed up. It will take place April 7 – 10, so save the dates, watch some great speedruns, and help us raise money for Doctors Without Borders as they aid the Japanese people in the aftermath of the earthquakes and tsunami.
