Presenting: crocheted Jig the Goblin, from the series by

jimhines.

I've other pics to post, but Jig gets his own entry, since otherwise it's going to be an all-you-can-eat bandwidth buffet, and I already learned the hard way that that's a bad idea. Bandwidth cafeteria is much better.

Jig the goblin, as seen from the front. I trimmed his eyes a little extra at the edges to make him look more pathetic. His hair is gray thread I tied on; his fangs and eyes are felt, and the former are probably a bit more impressive than they have any right to be, but whatever.

Jig from the side and the rear, just for the whole runway experience. He doesn't stand up very well on his own, so there was a lot of careful balancing and leaning going on with these.

Creative anachronism Jig! Since [mild spoiler] he technically gets the Awesome Boots before he makes his glasses, and I found the former too frustrating to make and the latter was half the reason I even made this pattern. I guess we could've fit in a photo op after he took off his boots but before he took off his glasses? IDK. [/spoiler] The purple doesn't show too well in either this pic or the next pic, but rest assured that it's a very deep amethyst. Possibly too deep, but there were Complications with the glass stain.

Jig with Smudge! Who is not even remotely to scale. Let's just say that one of them got hit with size-changing magic (or both! Because why not!).

As a reminder, the crochet pattern for Smudge (with instructions on how to make the fire) is over here. Jig's pattern is not up yet, but should be by the end of the week - feel free to bug me if it isn't. It is very similar to Dobby the House Elf's pattern, though, if you want to give alteration a try.

As a second reminder, I've made my crochet services available for the fannish charity auction
