I have always loved Halloween so to celebrate this year...........the Halloween Countdown. One new Halloween inspired Amigurumi a week - until Halloween. I will also make as many of the patterns as I can available free.
I am so excited!! and to kick of this challenge - Here is Falstaff a Halloween Robot.
I think he is pretty adorable? A cute little robot to be helpful around the house or to whip up cream cakes...
But my other half thinks this is the worst amigurumi I have ever made, and found poor Falstaff completely ridiculous! The laughing continued for 15 minutes... I counted.
Maybe its me? Have I had a taste bypass?
Anyway - Falstaff was very upset....
Dejected even!
I also need to apologize for being so quiet. Due to financial difficulties our landlord has to sell our flat, so we are moving again. I have been spending my evenings packing - deep joy. I am actually quite excited though, because the new house has a large garden with an apple tree in, which will be great for Twinkle.
I have also had problems with our mobile broadband which is very slow, so I have not been able to reply to comments and to answer all the questions I would like, I am so so sorry. In the new house I will have real broadband so that will make a major difference.

Keep a look out for next weeks creature! Any suggestions - let me know :-)

I think Falstaff is very cute. Good luck with your move. The garden sounds great.

I think he is darling! My hubby was looking over my shoulder and he thinks your robot is cute too!!!

He is adorable! He can come live with me and the Totoros;)

Haha! He's fabberoo. I love the expression on his face. He is ever so slightly Wall:E ish. I've just made EVE (and will post it up on my blog soon), so perhaps the two should meet and dance in space together with a fire hyrdrant!
My son is a Halloween nut, but unfortunately in our local Asda and Sainsbury they've got MASSES of halloween stuff already and it's only September. Taking a 5 year old shopping surrounded by all those goodies is hell, I tell you!
Good luck with the move. The apple blossom will look gorgeous in Spring. Pink or white, or don't you know yet?

He is ADORABLE!! If you post the pattern, I'll be happy to make him an American penpal!!! (Probably more than 1, I have 2 nephews who would love hime!!)
Enjoy the new home, it sounds wonderful!

I think he's swell. I love how he's able toy show so much emotion with his posture.

Aww... I know it's "just" crochet, but the dejected little guy almost made me sad- please cheer the little fellow up, darling! Maybe a Falstaffette to keep him company? :)
Posted by: Steff | September 15, 2008 at 09:11 AM
I love Falstaff! He is so expressive!
Posted by: Jenn | September 15, 2008 at 03:31 PM
Don't listen to him! This is the cutest robot ever!
Posted by: Kimberly | September 15, 2008 at 04:40 PM
He's adorable!!! And it made me feel sad that he feels dejected. Please tell him we all love him, maybe that will cheer him?
Happy moving!!!

Falstaff is the cutest. I love the dejected look. Congratulations on your new home. I can't wait to see pics of your garden.

Falstaff is perfect. He looks so sweet and then sad too. Bad other half for making him feel unwanted!
On another note, good luck with your move :-)

he is adorable! Nice work! I just realized I have your Amelia Bag pattern already on my list of to-dos. Thanks for sharing all your inspiring ideas!

Well she's entitled to her opinion I suppose but how can you resist those huuuuge eyes! Very cute imo!

This little bot is super sweet - a little like Number 5. Not sure how he is Halloweeny though?
I love the idea of doing a count down to Halloween - it's one of my favorite holidays. Perhaps you could do some of your beautiful creatures in Halloween costumes? Your tortoise could make a good ghost and perhaps some sort of devil costume for your beautiful tree frog?

The poor little robot....packing sucks...may it go quickly for you! Will you be in the same town/city? I hope it goes smoothly, as we all know it can go that way and then there's the Murphy's Law way...
Posted by: Debbie | September 17, 2008 at 04:11 PM
aww, he's so sweet, I want to adopt him.

I think he is fabulous. Tell your husband Ppptttthhhhthththth *sticking out tongue* for me. How could he laugh at this wonderful robot? Poor little guy. I hope the has gotten over the insult to his cuteness by now.
