World of WarCrafts: Crochet Boomkin
Every Thursday, Shelbi Roach of The Bronze Kettle guides you in creating WoW-inspired crafts using real world mats with World of WarCrafts.Almina of <Sisters of Mercy>, an alliance guild member on the Gurabashi server and a fellow Texan, has created an epic crochet replica of the awesomest druid form in the game.
Almina created a Crochet Boomkin for her father who happens to live out of state, but stays connected with his daughter by way of Azeroth. She didn't have a pattern to work from but managed to produce this impressive specimen nonetheless.
Check out the in-progress and final product pictures here.

That's SWEET! Is she taking orders?

One of her posts said her guildies were requesting some for their characters. Doubt she'll take orders, unfortunately. :(
Not enough time to level to 80 and crochet!

May I just say that this is quite possibly the single most awesome stuffed toy in the history of the universe?
Yes, I may.

BTW for anyone interested in the art of these adorable little crochet creatures, the craft is called "amigurumi" and is rather popular in Japan.

I'm a major Boomkin fan. I even made a druid for the sole purpose of leveling it to 40, getting Boomkin, and then using the World Enlarger & Nogginfogger ot make it a micro-boomkin. Though I admit, I haven't gotten her to 40 year, I will after I'm done getting my main and my primary alt to 80 XD
I'm still learning to crochet, but hopefully someday I can make one of these. They're so full of win it's not even funny.

I reeeeally want to get a pattern for this. Its perfect for gifts for people. I know it says she did it without a pattern, but I wonder if she has a pattern for it now so that others can do it. I would love to try!
