They're nice (I guess), but the only available size is 9mm, and to give you an idea the things I've made so far were with a 3mm pair (that's the diametre). The stitches would just look huge.
I don't think it's a good size for something small like the plushes, it's probably meant for knitting sweaters or something.
So, I did a Trogdor but the S wasn't curvy enough, so I started over to make a more different S.
I'm also thinking I suck so much at sewing I should probably make Robert's outfits in a way I'm more comfortable with, that is by knitting them.
I got the yarn for Abe's head too, finally.
Unfortunately, with all these projects at once, I hurt my hands pretty bad. I can still type (although it's sore) but if I keep knitting I might have to stop using my hand altogether or something.
So I'm taking another break from knitting. Just thought I should keep everyone informed so you don't think I'm just slacking off.
I was wondering why you didn't finish little Robert first before start Trogdor in fact.
I get bored easily if I work on the same project for a while, so I tend to try and make several things at the same time. This way I just switch from one to the next and it's never boring.
But I was so enthusiastic about all of them that I think I overdid it a bit ^_^''
I hate having to rest my hands though. Grrr. It makes me feel so powerless when I'm not making anything.

Ironically, I'm the same. I "work" in 3 comics at the same time, and maybe 2 more eventually =P. I made a bunch of sketches, then rest, then a bunch of inks, maybe color them. Then rest. Then color the ones I miss and put the bubbles. And then the fan art on the side =P. This one for example, took like 1 and a half month to been finished, and, in the middle, I did this one out of stress for a class. (The sketch is in the back side of a photocopy of the guide book =P).
My sister for the other side, can't. She has to start something and finish them. If she left a sketch wandering around, rest assured she will never finish it.

I don't get why you seem to think you have an obligation to us, but OK. It's your hobby, I"m pretty sure nobody would be upset with you if you happened to just stop.
As Rather dashing said, take your time: it's a hobby to do at your own leisure. Although, maybe you could knit yourself some knitting gloves! Incindentally, what did you do with your Z shaped trogdor? Do you just somehow recycle the thread, or bin it?

It's wasn't a Z, it was a "flat S", that is the curve wasn't sharp enough. Kind of like a small case f.
I would have reuse the thread for the new attempt, but I also decided to use another colour, so I'll keep it for now. Maybe I'll take picture of the two side-by-side for comparison. I had only done the main body though, nothing else.
At some point I'll unmade it and recycle the yarn into something else. Or rather, make a ball out of it and put it aside for the next time I use that colour.
Well, I tried to send in on Saturday 2 weeks ago. It's not my fault the lady there didn't know how to send a package and I had to go back on the following Monday! It still counts!
I know, but I still have to procastinate somehow =P
Noblest goal of all
Don't worry, I do want to know their reactions and stuff, too. So far the only thing I know is that it caused Will's exclamation key to stick.
But its nice that I don't have to worry that it got lost or damaged or something anymore. And that I don't have to keep quiet about it anymore, either. Geez, I don't know how I was hoping to hold it in until the holidays

What does consummate mean anyway? According to google it means "fulfill sexually; "consummate a marriage" " Sexually fulfilled V's FTW.

I can't get away from my present self. Everywhere I go, damn! There I am.
Don't give away the end!
Also I don't want to think about what Robert would do with a voodoo doll of himself. Yeah.
Just look in the deepest darkest cavern in the bowels of TTG. That's usually where they keep programmers.
Watch out for goblins and cave trolls, though.
@Jake the doll isn't anatomically correct so don't worry.

Thanks for telling me

mail?
np: Allen Toussaint - From A Whisper To A Scream (True Blood Season 1 Original Soundtrack)
Either him or me!
Okay, I can keep quiet anymore...
I sent them the plushes! And a surprise.
Now, imagine that line with the music that builds up to the kill in a serial killer horror film.
Ok, now I'm with Leak, Pics or it didn't arrive!!!
Come on Telltale! Come on!
That would be appropriate
Well, it's Friday night, so you guys might have to wait until Monday or something.
