Flibble

After coming across a Red Dwarf swap on Craftster.org yesterday and that picture of Rimmer and Mr. Flibble, I decided to make a Mr. Flibble amigurumi puppet.

To get more inspiration I dragged out my Red Dwarf DVD boxset and watched the classic episode, Quarantine. I'd forgotton how funny it was, and the episode also features a crochet hat reference hahah!

Then I got out my wool and hook and came up with this...

Mr. Flibbles body! I decided to make it with aran weight yarn and a 4.5mm hook, so it didn't take that long to crochet up. It's nice and soft on your hand too :)

As you can see I left slits for where the mouth goes, so all you have to do is crochet the mouth pieces and sew them over the gaps. Sounds easy, but we'll see how it goes!

Mr Flibble Is Very Cross...

I've got to make one of these...



"Because the king of the potato people won't let me. I begged him. I went down on my knees and wept. He wants to keep you here... keep you here for ten years"


Those of you that have ever watched Red Dwarf will know what on earth I'm on about here!

I'll keep you posted :D
