Description Since it's been requested: Here's the pattern for the Fella plushie.

Please be aware that this pattern is not the easiest, since the plushie has a wire/wood skeleton.
Also, the photos I have included in the pattern are from my Fella prototype and therefore don't always completely match the instructions (for example: the arms are much lower in my photos than I have stated in the pattern). I'd recommend going by the pattern.

Should I ever make another Fella, I'll update the photos. But I kinda doubt it, since I'm laaazy...



EDIT: This is getting a little scary...
You people rock my socks!
Thank you, ^shelldevil . And thanks also to everybody who favs this and comments on it. This week will be a busy week and it'll probably take ages to reply to all comments, but I promise to reply to all who have questions about the pattern, at least... slowly.



Fella Project Folder: [link]

Pattern free to use. Have fun.
(If you've made Fella plushies using my patterns, I'd love to see them and if you upload photos, please credit me and link to this deviation. Thanks.)

No selling - either of the pattern or of the finished Fella!
I don't do it, you don't do it.

kinda?
you can make yourself one, using this pattern... or ask somebody with crochet skills near you to make you one.
if it weren't for the copyright issue, I'd make you one for money. but as it is, that's not possible, unfortunately.

glad you like it. thanks for the fav.

Doesn't Fella look magnificent, here?! A gorgeous crocheted Fella figure, if I must say so, myself!!

If ever a DD was well-rewarded, it's here. Thank you so much for Fella, janey-in-a-bottle!! You've been justly rewarded, for immortalising Fella in such a crafty fashion!!

The pleasure is all mine, janey-in-a-bottle!!

It makes me smile, to know I've made you smile, by leaving my comment; re: Fella!!

He looks so cute!!

I think EVERYONE on dA should have their own Fella mascot! God knows, you've left us all with the pattern!!


Can't wait to start on my own Fella!!!!

Thanx again, janey-in-a-bottle; for giving me something to do, over the Christmas holidays!!

ja... langsam wird's mir unheimlich.
ich scroll da so durch die DDs und denk ich seh nicht richtig. hatte mich ne minute vorher noch gewundert, warum ich innerhalb von 2 minuten gleich 2 favs auf das ding hatte, aber da hatte ich dann die erklΓ€rung...

na, dann leg mal wieder eins vor, damit ich was zum aufholen habe.

Aber, es wundert mich! Die Drei-Monatige Regel! Wie umgingen Sie sie?

haha, awesome. all grammatically correct (apart from a few mistakes in the use of capital and small initial letters)...
but since you know me quite well, you don't have to use formal speech when talking to me.

there is a 3-month rule? like what? if you had a DD, you can only get a new one after 3 months? didn't even know that.
my last one was in early september, so it might have been (almost) 3 months - or if they go by weeks, 12 weeks - since then. in the end, it's probably up to the GMs what, who and how often they feature. (who am I to argue? )

TheOtherSarshi In reply to janey-in-a-bottle [2010-11-29 17:39:41 +0000 UTC]

The stuff I said was formal?... Oops (Note to self: German does have formal language)

A few months ago I translated this news article and remember this part of it quite clearly:

"These are the main rules to remember when suggesting a DD:

- THREE months must pass before an artist gets another DD.
(Always check that the artist hasn't received a DD in the past 3 months. You can do this by going to DeviantUsername.deviantart.com/dds/"

SuggestDD (the script) also has an error message to that effect.

Well, indeed, who cares that it's a bit soon (11 weeks, not 12 ) If the GMs do it, it's probably fine

janey-in-a-bottle In reply to TheOtherSarshi [2010-11-29 20:06:05 +0000 UTC]

hmmm, both my patterns weren't suggested by anybody, but directly featured by a GM. maybe there are other limitations, if it's done this way? can't say I mind, though.

and not so much formal language than a formal way of address.
"you" can either be "du" (informal) or "Sie" (formal). the general rule is to say "Sie" to people older than you, in a higher rank than you or people you haven't met before or only have loose acquaintance with (in which case age doesn't matter, as long as the person you speak to is an adult). all that does NOT apply if the person you would normally address formally has offered you to address them informally.
did that explanation help?

TheOtherSarshi In reply to janey-in-a-bottle [2010-11-29 20:18:25 +0000 UTC]

Oooh, it was the Sie. I knew there was something odd with it (mostly because there were two sie's there)

Right. Got it.

I don't mind you getting another one, either. It's kind of cool ^^ Still. I'll have to catch up... somehow...

keep your stories coming and I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

we have 3 versions of "sie".
"sie" = she, they
"Sie" = formal you

We don't I think... >.>

But you also recycle articles! And why are girls neutral, I'd like to know? One would assume that, growing into women, they'd have a feminine noun, but no. You have them neutral, as if they were mysterious entities until they grew of age.

(or is that the point? Diverting pedophiles from considering girls as being women-related? O_o)

janey-in-a-bottle In reply to TheOtherSarshi [2010-11-29 22:02:23 +0000 UTC]


a noble thought, but it's not really helping, is it?
the funny thing about neutral words is that they get male possessive pronouns. at least, if you want to be totally grammatically correct. in normal common speech, we don't do that.

we recycle articles? oh, you mean when we decline them? haha, anything to confuse the people wanting to learn out language. (jk)

it's meant to be a cat - at least I'm entirely certain that's the case. I'm sure I read it somewhere *hasn't seen a cat that looks less like a cat, so it was quite a surprise to learn it was modeled after a feline*

oh, that'd be news to me, too... my guesses went to something a little more "devil"ish.
but hey, deviating from the norm does fit to the site theme, right?

TheOtherSarshi In reply to janey-in-a-bottle [2010-09-19 12:27:05 +0000 UTC]

Yep.

Although, interestingly enough, there were conspiracy theories that said the site was satanist, because of the combo between how Fella looks like and 'deviant', which was taken to mean 'deviation from all that is good'. Sort of like EvilArt or something.

...go figure.

janey-in-a-bottle In reply to TheOtherSarshi [2010-09-19 12:48:11 +0000 UTC]

some people are too paranoid for their own good.
even IF it was designed after a/the devil, it could just mean you can find art on here that's "awesome as hell".
it all depends on if you are a positive or a negative person at heart.

TheOtherSarshi In reply to janey-in-a-bottle [2010-09-19 13:05:54 +0000 UTC]

Bwah. There's so much paranoia in the world, I can't even begin to describe. I'm intimately aware of a few conspiracy theories, such as:

Romania is handling the economy crisis so badly because the Jews want to buy us and are interfering with our politicians to make sure we have debts too high to repay
The price for entering the EU was that they now do experiments on us with all sorts of weird foods.
They'll(I forgot who 'they' is here) use one of our areas for war target practice, because Brasov is a mountainous country - just like Iran! And that's what the food ration coupons were printed for (apparently they printed over a million food ration coupons - why, nobody knows)
Internet is The Devil's Tool, because the letter w's analogue in hebrew is 'vav', the numerical value of which is 6, so all internet addresses start with 666.
MTV is a satanistic-masonic TV station. They had some sort of Christmas clip years ago which was filled with masonic and evil symbolism.
They are trying to convince us that modern life is better than life a hundred or more years ago, even if today we're working like slaves and taught how to enjoy bad quality shows &c. which derail us from the important things in life and turn us into productive machines.

and those are just off the top of my head. Not mentioning the weather-controlling devices and other such.

well, the weather-controlling "devices" (more like techniques, though) do at least exist... the question is, just how intend the people are to use it against others instead of for the greater good.

the rest, well, made me laugh.
point 6 I can partly believe, though.
