Greetings From On Board The SS Tesla 10/16/11

Hello Team FESTers!

This is going to be another short post due to the fact that I am booked solid for the next couple of months doing shows, I now have a full-time job and I am pursuing my Masters. Unfortunately, that leaves me with very little time to contribute to this blog, but I will still be posting, just not as often. So that means I am going to post a fun tutorial crochet pattern today and I know some of you Team FESTers are nerds like me so I am going to provide a cute crochet amigurumi pattern from Nerdigurumi (check out her work and be sure to donate to her too, she has mad skills! She has many other patterns too)! This pattern is going to be Sackboy from Little Big Planet (he is so cute)!
