Description It's my infamous Snow Golem that I tend to always make....but this time it's mini! And when I say mini I mean it's like a foot tall instead of being about two and a half feet tall. The change in size is due to the fact that Pipsqueak yarn is now found in smaller skeins then it used to be. Which also means these guys will be cheaper, and I am super close to finalizing this pattern instead of the other one. Again, since it took a lot of yarn and so a smaller version would be easier to make. 


And since everyone loves his "mask", I made one for this guy as well  


This guy is up in my shop ready for a home. www.etsy.com/listing/176162703…

Thanks! I felt the eyes might have been a bit to small but it seems like they worked

Ah, a new fix on an old classic. Really liking the work that you put into the details with this one; the fuzz makes him seem all the more snowy.   Great job, as usual

Indeed, since this is one of my favorite projects. But he looks pretty much the same to my last one, except he is smaller.

Heheh. I can tell that he'd be one that you'd really enjoy, especially with it being one that you've done before. And I know that it's mostly since he's the same as the last one, but he still seems just as awesome.

He is just so easy to make, and I just love his character...I really need to play the Adventure Time DS game that he is in But first I need to get a DS haha. And not to mention that he is a best seller, he was sold within a day I'm also satisfied that I finally got a pattern down

magusVroth In reply to YarnHoardingDragon [2014-01-19 01:35:33 +0000 UTC]

Heheh. Didn't even know there was a DS game, or that they actually made a decent one Very cool that he tends to sell well for you. I'm also happy that you were able to do something nice for yourself, getting a good pattern down and all.

I think there are actually two DS games, I think one is DS and the other one is 3DS...but I'm not sure since I don't pay attention when I don't own the system usually haha. I'm unsure if it's any good but I haven't heard good things or bad things about it...so I have that. And it is quite nice, I like it when things sell haha. Thank you, I do need to start writing down more patterns so I may sell them but I need to figure out how to do good pdfs.

magusVroth In reply to YarnHoardingDragon [2014-01-19 01:53:18 +0000 UTC]

Cool. I guess if I ever did think of getting one, I would look into it a bit more. Or I could even do it for ya, if you ever decide to get one yourself. I know that it would really feel good to know that people would be willing to give a little to have something so nice. I'm sure that you'll be able to get a hand at mastering patterns in no time. Maybe once you look into some helpful pdf websites, it'll lead to interesting results.

I'm sure once I buy one I'll look into more games since I'll have more of a want to, since I know if I look into it now I'll just be bummed out that I can't play any of them...but then again I can always buy games even without owning the system. Since I know in time I will buy one, and also I could probably borrow a friend's DS. I actually almost bought one of the AT ds games but didn't for some reason. It also just feels nice that I posted something so recently and it to be sold out...I don't think it even has been up for 24 hours. And not to mention I had another person who messaged me saying she was about to buy it, but found out it was sold before she could finish her transaction. (So I feel really complimented in that area right now haha.) I also know I will be able to figure out a good pattern layout in time from tutorials as well as looking at other people's layouts for inspiration. But you are smart to say to look it up online. haha I completely forgot I could do that.

magusVroth In reply to YarnHoardingDragon [2014-01-19 13:41:35 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, that could always work out, I suppose. Very cool that you're so close to selling all that you've got in such a short amount of time, though. Always feels good that sometimes the demand outreaches the supply, doesn't it? I guess really the online aspect is just something for a last resort in most cases for me, but I feel it would work out really well for you. I hope you end up finding something really nice

YarnHoardingDragon In reply to magusVroth [2014-01-20 05:15:17 +0000 UTC]

Indeed. It is quite a nice feeling to have sold things so quickly . I just hope I can supply the demand, but it does seem like my snow golem will be a thing I will have constantly in my shop since it sells so well. Which seems that I will be making more advenutre time characters to put in my shop. 

And the online aspect is really my only option, or I can just throw myself in the water and see if I can swim haha. But I'd rather have a professional looking pattern to sell then just a simple word document that I use for myself. But thank you for your hope, I also hope that I can find a lovely tutorial.

Aw, I have no doubt that you'll be able to keep up with it with little hassle. And now I'm picturing you with a little studio in your pad with all those crazy characters. I'd definitely be happy to check out this shop when I might have time, and hopefully putting it together will lead to something fruitful; maybe look into it a bit more beforehand, I dunno. Hey, I'm rooting for our mutual hope to lead to something fruitful, my friend.

Thank you And haha I wish my apartment was that cool. I don't even have a desk. But I hope one day to set up a bookcase to keep all my creations on. Instead of them being locked up in a container. And my shop isn't that exciting. I do need to change my banner and put up more information. For now I'm just glad it is up and running

Well, it's at least cool that you've got a bit of space to keep your stuff in, I guess. I'm sure that you'll be able to invest in a nice little bookshelf at some point. Very cool to see you've at least got a means to income, though.

YarnHoardingDragon In reply to magusVroth [2014-01-21 22:50:21 +0000 UTC]

True, it would be nice to be able to showcase my work to myself mostly since I sometimes forgot I made some things since they are out of sight, making them out of mindl And it is very nice having a source of income haha.

Yeah, having that reminder does tend to get one back on track from time to time; still, I'm sure there are means in your realm which for now would serve that purpose just as well. Here's to you and your steady flow of money, my friend.

Very true my friend, it is also quite a boost to have things sell so quickly But means I'm making quite a few more adventure time characters.

Heheh. I bet it'll be pretty interesting to see what you could do with some of the other AT characters, honestly. Even if it's more of the underrated ones. I hope that you do manage to boost your sales very well.

YarnHoardingDragon In reply to magusVroth [2014-01-24 02:30:31 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, I particularly like the underrated ones, or at least the ones that aren't really main characters. (Although I am making Jake, Lady Rainicorn, and their children since I do have most of the yarn for them.) But I'm also going to make Lemongrab, shelby the worm, the snail that is in ever episode...Oh, I'm also making a smaller version of Tree Trunks. But I'm really just trying to make characters that are in the yarn colors I can do XD. Lemongrab is looking fantastic by the way, I just need to buy more grey yarn since I ran out of it half way through his second leg. XD

Aw, you're making the puppycorns?! (or conrdogs, I forget which...) That'll be so awesome And all those other characters will be just as awesome to see, I bet.

YarnHoardingDragon In reply to magusVroth [2014-01-24 20:21:13 +0000 UTC]

I didn't know they were called puppycorns Which is surprising since I often read up on adventutre time characters. But yes, since they are so freakin cute, it's a shame they grow so fast since I meant to make them as babies but they are so big now but oh well XD I'll still make them babies (It's not like their designs changed at all.)

magusVroth In reply to YarnHoardingDragon [2014-01-25 01:19:36 +0000 UTC]

I think it's more of a fan name for them I dunno. Yeah, they do grow fast, but from what I've seen of the concept sketches, their adult forms are still pretty loveable as well.

YarnHoardingDragon In reply to magusVroth [2014-01-25 03:46:13 +0000 UTC]

True, but I'm still surprised I've never happened upoun that name. But yeah their adult forms are still loveable But I know I won't be able to make one of them since I don't have an orange yarn :/ (Although I could always make him yellow like I'm making Jake but he still is an orange color XD.)

magusVroth In reply to YarnHoardingDragon [2014-01-26 01:27:16 +0000 UTC]

Eh, I suppose it's really only something that would come up every now and then; no big deal. I guess if you wanted you could try rendering the orange one into a more relatable color to his dad; I bet people would still appreciate it.
