AmiguruMay Day 6 - WIP: work in progress
ngl i fell off with this challenge but it's never too late to catch up?? 🙃
dilly dallied around London at minumum efficiency today and made a good start at a new lil guy
i've decided to try and crochet with more things things that are not cotton so this is baby alpaca. feels pleasant to work with but does not end up as soft as you'd think and i think will require some gentle blocking (not sure how to pull it all off with stuffing, sewing things together etc)
OK JUST REALIZED I NEVER SHARED the red-wing blackbird inspired Wing Shawl I crocheted over the summer 😌
It’s SO heavy and warm, it’s only just starting to get cold enough for me to wear it out.
My mum would not stop asking me to make her a Frenchie amigurumi and I wanted something where I could relax a bit about the pattern/quality after the raccoon, work with a bit bigger hook etc haha. 💀
TBF I wouldn't even post it but I think it's neat to see how far I've come in terms of sheer speed- I think making both took roughly the same amount of time. 🤯 So it's a 2.5 months progress post of sorts.

Whales (crochet and needle felted)
My flatmate requested a 'whale in a top hat'. I originally wanted to do something in trans flag colours but the light pink yarn I started with felt a bit meh... I already had an order coming with some Hobbii Universe, so I went to my local yarn shop to try and find something suitable for the belly and Schwedenrot sock in Over the Rainbow* seemed to more or less fit the bill.
I think the yarns go decently well together and again, I have more luck than reason in that they ended up being similar (very fine for me!) weight and I could sew them up without the wee guy being horrifically misshapen haha. Doesn't really read trans in the end due to more green-ish elements than blue tho...
As I finally gifted him around St Patrick's Day the 'top hat' (the top of which likes to pop up making it not look like a top hat...) element is green, so his name is Wally O'Whaley! 🐋🍀🏳️⚧️
The needle felted guy is really just a cleanup, I must have started him 4-5 years ago, probably from a kit? I like the shape of the fins a lot!

*the sock yarn came in a hank - I've never had one before and it was a FUCKIGN NIGHTMARE to unravel and get into a workable state. I'd say never again but I already bought another nice hand dyed hank at stitch fest so I will just continue suffering?? 🥲
I hate those stupid quests like Spirit of the Woods that give you a choice but outcome is almost the same (I guess you can save one old dude) or make you fight but the cutscene forces a loss (RIP Jordund). :|
Aimée the Sheep
Made using a kit from TOFT.
It's limited edition but if you're familiar with their body construction you can probably very easily recreate it. The only 'special ingredient' is La Bien Aimee Confetti Cake yarn - it's also the main reason for the kit being on the expensive side I guess. The yarn came in hank and I was dreading it based on my previous experience but it turned out that DK weight yarn was significantly easier to untangle than sock weight. 😌
You can also still get the Sheep magazine with patterns (including previously featured Seth and Tobias) if you do want/need a pattern.
I've not got super much to say about this one to be honest... I forgot to put in the safety eyes so it's a bit of blue sparkly Rico yarn which I think suits her. I made bulk of the body in a queue waiting for a sample sale and I thought it was quite solid but upon inspection later the holes between stitches were once again HUMONGOUS. Thank sheep god for the fleece on top, and a note to self to pay more attention and keep my tension *tight* (but then relax it for granny squares, I started one and it's a wrinkly mess 🫠).
The project helped me overcome my hate on hanks and the yarn seemed like a qualitt product, it's a serious contender if I ever need to make a Quality gift. 👌
Anywho, here's a pic of all three existing sheep I made (Seth and Tobias post). No denying that Seth is still the most bombastic.
Why do they make me think of Will and Hannibal with Abigail? 🥺
limpiando mi casa la toda dia pero todavía no terminado. 🫠 porqué tengo tantas ropas?? de todas formas, muchos no son mi talla pero las gustan y no quiero las tirar. :(
Fox and grey cat
Random little projects made this week.
I've had the cat kit for a while (bought instead of another book I will never finish at Waterstones), and the fox is my attempt at actually making stuff I find on Tumblr. It's a free pattern.
Honestly I expected the kit to be worse, the yarn was clearly some kind of a synthetic and the hook was just a chunk of metal but the instructions were pretty clear and it worked up quick. I have yarn spare as well. Shape-wise it's similar to TOFT kits but obviously less 'quality', at £10.
I placed the eyes wonkily hence the side eye 'fix'. 💀
---
The fox is made with Rico pure cotton. It's incredible how much more pleasant it was to make than my last thing, also in cotton but from Hobbii. Maybe that was stiffer cos it was bleached? :s
i guess i forgot which blog is which so this is my main now, and the other one is for reblogs
