Inspired by the show, I decided to crochet Colonel Chestbridge. Since they creators talk in interviews about how they had no money for the first season, I gave myself an extra challenge: I could only use materials that I already had. Thankfully, I have a ton of odds and ends, some 17-year old Sculpey that worked for the Sit Down Gun, and yarn and felt in all the right colors.
I'm pretty happy with the result, especially since it forced me to design an eagle head and beak. I'm happiest with the handmade bias tape I hand stitched to the felt jacket. Chestbridge is a dapper colonel.
