inspiring LoL

Today's post is a proof that a crazy crocheter can get inspired anywhere, anytime...

Last year my husband started playing LoL - League of Legends and I must say I got hooked, too! I don't play myself, but I do enjoy watching him play and that's how we spend most of the evenings :) The game is full of such great and fun champions that I couldn't resist making one of them. Especially, as there's nothing better than crocheting and watching LoL at the same time (of course sometimes it's really difficult to get focused on crocheting, but when I don't have a pattern and I improvise it goes smoothly). So having lots of crocheting-watching time I managed to create Heimerdinger, the Revered Inventor!

I must admit I had lots of fun creating all those little details, and although some are still missing, I'm quite satisfied with the result.


And especially proud of that teeny hammer...



I'm sure that little Heim is not going to be the last League of Legends champion that I crocheted. Thinking about Brolaf now... Or do you have any other suggestions?


And that's definitely not the last LoL-inspired, fan art project! The idea came a few days ago and I just had to do it as soon as I could! One of my favorite LoL champions is Udyr, who has 4 stances: a tiger, a turtle a bear and a phoenix (for more info: go here or here) and I thought They would make a nice theme for a set of coasters. And here they are.

Bear stance

Phoenix stance

I guess I like the tiger most, although it was the one I had most problems with :)

I guess it would be best to get some feedback from League of Legends players, who seem to be best judges of how I managed to complete the challenge ;)
