I have to admit I was a little surprised that my Google and Etsy searching didn't turn out any crocheted sets of the Simpson family. I may have to tackle a crocheted Maggie someday since she's always been my favourite. In the meantime, we have these two crochet projects that I really like.
Flying Homer is pretty cute and I think Craftster member Chubby Pixie did a great job of replicating the Groening mouth, which is always hard to mimic in crochet. However, I love the story behind this Homer as much as the actual doll. Chubby Pixie made him specifically to serve as the pilot in her husband's remote control plane:

Craftster member knifinaround came up with this great rendition of Blinky, the three-eyed fish from the Simpsons. She didn't write down the pattern for him, but if you visit the original discussion on Craftster she has given a general description of how she put him together. Very cute!

Homer never looked so cuddly. I love him! And the three eyed fish is hilariously cute!
