Crochet R2D2 Pattern!

Alright, I'll admit it. I'm really upset that I didn't make this pattern. It was made by the wonderful dorfmunder and she graciously let me test the pattern for her, and it's now up for sale on her etsy page! I'm so grateful that someone actually made a crochet r2d2 with a pattern! Anyway, I'm posting this because 1) It's awesome. 2) It's R2D2 and 3) it's made to fit to scale to my little dudes! The pattern was really easy to follow, and my little artoo came out so cute.
See? He he is with the rest of the gang. The crochet part was actually really easy to follow (except I made one of his arms too short and had to rip it out) and then the blue felt pieces are just glued on. And he actually balances quite nicely on his arms, I didn't have to weight him or anything.

And here he is with Leia in the Tantive IV, receiving secret plans on the Death Star.

Anyway, let me know what you guys think of him! I think he's super cute. Hope everyone is having a good weekend!

Get me a beer!

Hey everyone! In the spirit of recycling and reusing everyday trash objects...oh who am I kidding, I don't care. Check out this cute little r2d2!
Aw, it almost makes me want to buy beer so I can throw away the beer and make a small army of these guys. All of the parts seem to be made from scavenged materials, but they don't really seem to be easily accessible materials. For example, the eye is made from a vintage camera lens.

Anyway, hope you guys enjoy him! It's always a good time to share R2D2. Stay tuned!

WHY didn't anyone tell me about this?

Come on people! Look at this adorable R2D2!!!

Look at his little silver holoprojector! And his little shiny eye!
Look at the shiny buttons!
So anyway, I like shiny buttons on crochet R2D2s. I couldn't really find any information on the person who made it (all I could find is an article here which is mostly people whining about wanting this little guy as much as I do) but it was posted almost 6 months ago! Jeez, I'm out of the loop. I would try making one myself, but this one is too daunting! Look at how cute his little retractable leg is. I don't think I could do that.

Anyway, enough whining, I hope everyone can just sit back and admire this little guy. Stay tuned!
