free Zoidberg graph

Need to crochet an afghan?  Why not Zoidberg?

Dr. John Zoidberg, a crustacean doctor specializing in alien physiology (but not human! Oh boy, not human!) is the company doctor for the Planet Express crew of Futurama.  He is exceedingly poor, homeless, friendless, smelly, and eats out of trash cans ("a feast is a feast!"). He is oblivious to social propriety, but extremely loyal to the crew.  He is one of my favorite characters on the show so I made a graph of him (no, I haven't made this one yet either...I'm beginning to see a pattern with my procrastination, do you?). 

If you'd like the pdf of this graph, email me at kendrascrochet@gmail.com with "Zoidberg" in the subject line.   To make the blanket, use an H hook and 2 dc per graph square to get a twin-sized afghan (or close to it).  To get a 5 x 6 ft afghan, use a J hook and 1 sc per graph square, increasing the rows by 5 on top and bottom and by 15 on each side.  If you make this, please tag #kendrascrochetedcreations on social media and send me a copy of your finished product so I can feature it here or on my Facebook page! Leave me your thoughts below and share with the social media buttons!

Morbo

Morbo the Annhilator is an alien newsreporter on Matt Groening's Futurama. He is "good friends" with the head of Richard Nixon, has numerous belligerent offspring, and plots to some day take over Earth because humans are puny and inferior with easily injured knees. 

I had originally thought of making an amigurumi of Morbo, but couldn't make myself happy with the construction of that heart shaped head in my own mind.  I thought I'd make a blanket instead.  From this graph I created this blanket for my husband.  It's small because I used a G hook and 1 sc per graph square with a lighter yarn that I usually use (I usually use WW yarn), but it's just enough to cover his lap and he likes it.  I'm pretty pleased with it myself. What do you think?  To make a larger throw, I'd use a J hook and 1 sc per graph squares with WW yarn.  If you'd like the pdf of this graph, please email me at kendrascrochet@gmail.com with "Morbo" in the subject line.  Leave your thoughts below in the comments and please share to social media!  Tag #kendrascrochetedcreations and share your finished product, I love to see them.
