"As for me I design mansions and then live in them..."

"...I'm lying! I'm an appalling failure!"

Please welcome Universe 1's Dr. Zoidberg with a FREE pattern!

 As you can see the design has been improved and for the first time I'm offering my pattern for free! Though, I do warn you, this is the first pattern that I've written out for someone other than myself, so you may have to email me for questions. MostlyNerdyCrochet@gmail.com 

Can't crochet? You can order one. $35 + S&H money order or check (allow ten days to clear). Email for details.

As promised I will be offering a special gift to my sister for her continued demands... I mean support for my crochet. She must choose the red pill or the blue pill... I mean Zoidberg.  

Leela 1: "The idiots have the box!"

Zoidberg A: "I think she means you."

By the way the box is just a blue piece of paper folded origami style. WAAAAY too lazy to crochet a box...that and I don't have the right color of yarn.

OK people who just wanted to look at the pretty pictures may stop reading. Those who want the pattern please continue:
