Crocheted Greedo

Flickr user BackyardBirderWa made this smashing, well-accessorized Greedo amigurumi. She sells her creations here.

Greedo and the menagerie - Boing Boing

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

If they made a Boba Fett I’d have to get the pattern and yarn and lock my wife in a room until she was done.

I’ve been toying with the idea to make bounty hunter nesting dolls…

Doesn’t look like she’ll be selling anything today, not with her website killed by BB traffic heh

Yep, she was instantly boinged.

Lol. Way to go there BoingBoing, instantly murdering people’s site’s one blog post at a time ;)

The Greedo amigurumi is very impressive though, i really love all the attention to detail that went into making it. Wonder if the maker sells the pattern for it, if not then they totally should.

I don’t want to be a party pooper, but I have seen so many Star Wars/Mario/PacMan/various referential arts and crafts. I have seen enough Star Wars to last me a lifetime. BB should feature more original designs when it comes to arts n crafts, less references to pop culture.

  sbarnes2: y’know you are right, there is too much Star Wars/Mario/Pacman stuff being posted. I also think that the people at Boing Boing should stretch out a little and go for some new and original designs that aren’t some media/marketing construction. It’s really cool to see what people do with the stuff from their childhood, but there are all kinds of crazy new ideas that should be featured!
  
  (For the record I really do love all the old video game stuff, and while I’m pretty sick of Star Wars, this Greedo is pretty cute!)

Han, I just want to discuss this like rational crocheted adults. No need to get all shooty.

Greedo was one of my favorite old school action figures. This takes Greedo to the next level.
Pure awesome!

I’m crocheting as fast as I can! If you want one of any of them, you can send us a message via the contact page and we’ll let you know when I’m caught up enough to take more orders. Thanks for the support and comments…. a pattern would be great, but that would mean I had time to write it out!
