In the not-too-distant future, there was a girl named Ashley who decided to make her crush on Joel from MST3K even more bizarre tot he outside world and crochet his likeness. Here is what I have so far.
I made this from a modified pattern for a Doctor Who doll which cna be found here.
Now, obvioiusly the face isn't done because I'm trying to think of the best way to capture Joel's sleepy-eyes. Right now, I'm leaning toward using thread crochet to makes eyes. I also have a Gizmonics patch already I have not attached yet, and once I'm done with the belt, I'll outline the jumpsuit collar.
However, I am not a huge fan of the hair. I was torn between using eyelash yarn and making a wig with a hairpin lace loom. I chose the loom, but it didn't make the hair as long as I would have liked so now it just looks like a mohawk.
I just wanted to make a shout-out to my fellow crocheters/knitters and see if they have any suggestions for eyes and hair that look better than this.
Also, if anyone has any other MST3K knitting/crochet they would like to share, please do! Right now, all I've seen so far is a Tom Servo and a Shadowrama hat. I know there has to be more.
