When I was little, I used to crochet dolls. Sadly, I have no idea where any of them are
I have been ordering banks and jars from . They are just so crafty and fun that I got in the mood to crochet again. (Her craft is not crochet; I'm not quite sure what it's called, but it utilizes yarn.)
I've been working on this Optimus for a couple weeks and finally finished him I'm not quite sure how long this took me to make, as I lost count at 24 hours That Autobot symbol had to be the most complicated thing and took absolutely forever with as many times as I kept re-doing it to make it look somewhat right.
I have not crocheted anything in a long while and this is definitely the most complicated thing I've ever crocheted. I wasn't really confident with the way he was turning out once I got the pieces for the truck and trailer crocheted out. However, when I started making the wheels, my husband told me he wanted the plush-toy for himself. I laughed, because after all the doing and re-doing and mapping out stitch counts and all that, this Optimus isn't ever leaving our house anyway! LOL!
You may be wondering why this is G2 Optimus instead of G1. The simple answer is that I didn't have any grey yarn when I started, but I had lots of black So, G2 Optimus it is. I've only been finished with him for a few days, but I'm already going stir-crazy to make another one, so I might just have to go and buy some grey yarn and make a G1 Optimus. Making another won't take as long since I have all the stitch counts now
His license plate: I could not fit 'Prime,' so I tried putting OP1 for 'Optimus Prime 1' instead. It turned out looking more like 'Opi,' but it's supposed to be 'OP1'
Enjoy!
(made from medium worsted, red, blue, grey, black, light blue, white, and light yellow yarn...and stuffed with 100% polyester polyfil)
I read your stories now I find out you crochet! HOW AWESOME IS THAT!?!?!?!? <3 Very nice job!! I've been working on making hearts with faction symbols but I SUCK at the Autobot symbol XD so for now all my hearts will Decepticons!!! Evil little hearts! > As for the plate looking like it says Opi alot of Fiction writers ( I'm sure your aware) Have Sires called Opi so you could be dorky like me and Say who's your daddy! Cause Optimus is just that Awesome XD!
LOL! Awesome! I dabble into all sorts of stuff That's cool that you found this.
It's interesting how much more difficult the Autobot symbol is than the Decepticon one. So, I can see lots of Decepticon hearts
Optimus is totally that awesome. (Yes, I've seen those fics)

wOOt!! I have a habit of doing that to! Seriously I have five different baskets filled with different craft stuff O.o I was supremely happy that I found this ^.^
Hmm the fact that's harder to draw the good symbol could be symbolic XP Because its Easier to be bad than good and you don't have to really work to be back* like it doesn't take much work on the Decepticon symbol* But being good Does take work and so does protecting others and freedoms *how the Autobot symbol is harder to draw.* Lol Sorry my mind goes on tangents XD
I want to bask in his awesomeness, While on Ironhide's shoulder!
That's an awesome way to put it. I never thought of that and I really like that tangent. XD
Awwwww, me too! LOL!

Thank you!!! It is a real plushie. I simply filled it with polyester fiber. So far, it has held its shape just fine. I guess the sections of it help it hold its shape. Each color change is a different section.

OMG! This looks terrific! At first I thought you bought this lovely plushie somewhere, then I realized that you actually made this amazing OP plushie yourself. You're truly a genius when it comes to handmade artcrafts! Great job!
