Sam and Dean: Two Epic Amis for the Most Epic Fans

Two weeks ago,  I announced in my blog that I had started working on the Winchester brothers, whom I wanted to turn into manly, muscular adorable bundles of yarn-based cuteness.  Today, I am almost delirious with happiness, because after 60+ hours of work, angst, experimentation, tears, and triumph, I am finished!  Without further ado, I present Dean Winchester.  Like his television counterpart, he is an Aquarius.  He enjoys sunsets, removable jackets, frisky women, and pie.  He also has a rockin’ watch and some very fine boots.

Sam, meanwhile, sports those hip brown sneakers we see in Supernatural 3.03 – right before he loses one down the storm drain.

Designing Dean: True Confessions of an Abnormal Supernatural Fan

Okay, so most of the couples I know have a list.  You know the one I mean.  It’s the list with the celebrities that the husband and wife are allowed to hook up with should the occasion arise.  My husband and I don’t have a list.  No judgment.  We just don’t have one.  If I ran into the Winchester brothers from Supernatural in a dark alley, I would just have to keep walking – but that probably makes me the only Supernatural fan in the entire world who would.

Sam and Dean are mighty fine.  We can probably all agree to that.  But because a lot of women would probably chase them down an alley, I feel some pressure with respect to my upcoming project, which is to turn Sam and Dean into manly morsels of crocheted goodness.  Okay, technically, the term I’m looking for is amigurumi, which is a Japanese term that we’ve all adopted to mean morsels of crocheted goodness.  For Sam and Dean, however, I want to push the boundaries of regular amigurumi into something far more masculine and sculptural.
