I made a Bitey!!

[Chief]

Hello Brackenwood!!

I wasn't entirely sure about where I should post this (apparently the fiber arts aren't creative according how the boards are divided, haha), but I really wanted to share this with everyone.

I work several slow shifts at a local comic book store so my boss lets me craft when there are no customers. A lot of the people that use the game room in the back frequently ask me to make them things, but I wasn’t really interested until a good customer said, “Can you make me a Bitey?”

Hmm…okay!!!

For starters, this plush is definitely a limited 1 of 1 kinda deal. I never want to crochet with fun fur ever again because you can't see the stitches while you're working it.  I did have a lot of fun otherwise, though.  I also liked being able to say, "I'm trying to man-scape this Bitey so it looks right!" when people asked what I was doing. 

The costumer loved his Bitey.  I was very sad to see Bitey go…maybe I will have to make another after all…

  D'awwwwwwwwwww

Very fine handywork and you work in a comic book store? Awesome.

Awww its so cute~ XD

[Snowman]

I want one too!

[Woo]

That is unbelievably adorable and I love it. I MUST HAVE ONE.

That is truly amazing. The proportions are fantastically cute. I want one  

ps. Hope you don't mind, but I posted this on Facebook.

Thanks for the kind words everyone. ^^

And no, I don't mind the facebook post - yarn Bitey is for everyone to enjoy. 

I neglected to mention that his rump is filled with poly-pellets so he's extra smooshy.  If I were to make him again, I'd make a few corrections to the proportions so he could be more easily posed.  I know I said "never again" to the fun fur, but I have a cool idea for a different Bitey...

Although, speaking of that...if people really wanted, I could write up a (free) pattern for Bitey, but since he's not my character, I would have to get permission first.

Please feel free to write up a pattern and post it here or pass it around to whoever wants it. I'd be very grateful. Just knowing that people are doing things like this inspired by Brackenwood is a huge buzz for me

Hey All!

I am the eternally-grateful recipient of Chief's Bitey plush!

Plush-Bitey is A-mazing & makes weekly trips to the comic book store, The Gatekeeper, and other exotic locations with me all the time. He is currently sitting on my dash(kin) board of my car in the work parking lot.

I barely had to needle & beg Chief to make him for me at all. I think mostly it was done out of thanks for introducing Chief to Bitey in the first place. I am a fervent Bitey Apostle and spread word of his exploits just about wherever I go.

I'll have to post pics of Bitey on our adventures & trips every now & then!

Looking forward to those
