Amigurumi Dragon Trioby ~ex-astris1701

Artisan Crafts / Dolls, Plushies & Custom Toys / Amigurumi

I couldn't say what it was that made me want to make a dragon. I guess I just came across this free crochet pattern and decided to try to make one for myself.

I didn't actually follow Shannen's pattern but I based my own design on her's

First I made the yellow one. And then, for some reason, I decided to make the blue one. And once that one was finished I thought, well I can't very well have just two, and since I already had blue and yellow red seemed like the next logical choice. So then I had three. Because I didn't really stick to a pattern, each is different in their own way.

And I (being the big geek I am) decided also to name each of these. Although, really they sort of named themselves: While making the yellow one I was thinking about the name William and how it seemed like a good name. So that's what I thought I'd call my yellow dragon. Later on in the creation, when I was getting ready to put him all together, I happened to watch the first episode of Murdoch Mysteries, my first encounter with the show. I thought it was kind of funny that I had named my dragon Will and then finished making said dragon while watching a show whose main character's name is William. Well I happened to end up liking this Murdoch Mysteries show and I was watching it while I started in on my second dragon. George Crabtree quickly came to be my favorite character, so I thought I'd name my newest blue dragon Tree. Then I figured, sheesh, I can't leave Brackenreid out, so the final red dragon (also made while watching the show) is named Reid.

So, clockwise, starting at the top, the names are: Reid, Will, Tree

So. Yes. I am a big geek. But I justify it because I've actually been quite sick for quite some time, and these brought me joy. And since they make really great gifts, I don't doubt the joy will spread
