I can't stay mad at what is essentially me. I love me!

A duo of baby Benders mischievously drinking. Wait, could one be a prepubescent Flexo? You'll never know!


Commissioned by the ever hilarious, we'll call him Max, who waited patiently through my extended vacation, only then to feel the sting of a yarn shortage. Together we trudged through a battlefield of exchanged Futurama quotes and arrived in awe of Bender the Magnificent.

You know, I once tried to write out what Bender was made up of.  Dolomite, iron, titanium, zinc, lead, all at mathematically impossible percents, not to mention a 0.4 nickel impurity. Then I tried to compile all his "bite my----" sayings. You know, "bite my shiny metal ass" "bite my red hot glowing ass" "bite my glorious golden ass" the list went on. Man that was a great Christmas, am I right Chels?


 Anyway I get a kick out of seeing them both together. It kind of makes me feel like I'm creating an army of Benders to take over the world. Man I don't know what I would do without Futurama.


OK readers. I'm taking off for a couple of weeks. We'll see if I have time to post. I've got some grand plans stored away, just you wait and see.

    To Becky: I unfortunately don't have a bender pattern! You know how you can play music by ear? Same idea for me, except of course it's crochet!

    You should really make a bunch of these and sell them. I bet you a lot of people would buy them.

    I know im late to the party, but if you have started selling these or the patterns to these, I would love to buy one for my (difficult to shop for) boyfriend, who just said he wanted one as we were rewatching the episode.

    I am also very late. But if you're still monitoring your blog I'd love some advice. Your baby bender is one of the best I've seen. I'm trying to make Bender's son- Ben Rodriguez as a plushie. He looks similar as a baby and I'd love to know what dimensions you used. I do not crochet sadly but just knowing how big your Bender is could help
