| Pokemon! Gotta Crochet 'Em All
In its house in Ontario, The Quaint Cuddlefish lies crocheting ...
It started as a project to pay for textbooks, while Ruthanne Wilson was still in university. Now it's become a cottage Cuddlefish, sending out crochet plushie Pokemon via its Etsy storefront to the far corners of the globe. The Quaint Cuddlefish will fulfill any plushie request, though as this is all being done by hand you should expect a delay period as Wilson sorts out a design - she creates all the patterns herself - and gets on with the hard work of making the perfect critter for her customer.
"I love new challenges through creating pokemon plushies," says Wilson, "or any other characters that are requested. I have many ideas swimming around in my head and I hope to make them a reality as soon as I get a chance!"
Feast your eyes upon the glory! But bear in mind that glory doesn't come cheap; a crochet Gengar will set you back $50.03, while the most expensive - the Hydreigon - is a cool $140.71. Mind you, these are all hand-made and take a considerable effort; Wilson factors in complexity and creation time before making a price estimate. Have a look at her webpage for more information, and if you should be tempted to part with your money, well ... you do have to catch 'em all, y'know.

Well, okay not really (I don't buy merch). But I must say these certainly look impressive. |
| DAMIT! It seems like everyone is coming up with better thread ideas than me! :( |

I hate to be a knit picker, but you two are sew silly.
Anyway, my favorite of the bunch is Vulpix:
Sqwee! X3 I want so bad! |
| I am definitely getting a Dragonite as soon as I'm not poor!
Or a Sandslash... decisions, decisions. Life is tough. |
| Now that is quite impressive. The products are quite cool and she has even taken the effort to make her site convert the currency if someone outside of USA browses. I kinda want to an Umbreon, that one looked pretty awesome. |
| I really want one of these. Unfortunately the only people who could afford to get me one of these don't approve of me liking Pokemon. But as far as I'm concerned, there's no such thing as being too old to like something. But if I ever find myself able to afford it, I'm getting myself an Arcanine :D |
| I am seriously tempted to see if I can get a Snorlax made, suspect it'd be quite "easy" to make compared to say the Hydriegon, which is still good value for money considering it's hand made and they all look spectacular, and totally frikkin sweet. I wonder if she does totally custom orders? Like a Teemo from LoL or somthing. |
| Damn thats fucking badass
I'm wondering how much it would cost to make Zekrom |

now I feel an urge to ask for a ME Legion |
| Oh man, I want that Joltik! Such an adorable design. |
| Ontario!? GET ME AN ADDRESS!
Captcha: got my mojo
DAMN RIGHT. |
| These are awesome! I crochet too, but not this well. Not yet anyway.
|
| I want it!
I want it so bad.
So cute. |
| they are adorable but sadly too expensive for my tastes |
