Made a Susie Deltarune amigurumi.
If you want more detail/other angles, peep this.
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.
Patterns:
Eleanor the Labrador from TOFT:
Frenchie from StringyDingDing:
heard porn bots might be following you guys again. sorry about that. but in some good news i have been gaining many new followers who are real stunningly beautiful women. welcome ladies :)
tl;dr i finished two sheep from TOFT (Seth the Wensleydale and Tobias the Hebridean) and this is what they look like
Things that went well:
I think they are very cute and I 💖 them, I guess that's the most important : )
I'm glad I changed the colour palette for Tobias, crocheting so much in a dark yarn would have been hell even with my new neck light
Safety eyes, look much cuter than the pattern. I wish the toft patterns had more instructions on where to place the eyes, I go through A LOT of trial and error. :|
I added a second coat of sligtly longer chains to Tobias' fleece and I think it was a good decision, he looked hella flat otherwise (and it wasn't actually that much more work).
Seth has very fun texture! Reading the pattern I could not imagine how a chain you work back down can become fleece but in the end it's even more extreme than the picture. Leading to:
Things that did not go so well:
Holy fuck did I use A LOT of yarn on Seth. Obviously I misinterpreted something in the instructions about curliness or density but if I only used the 50g provided I think he would have looked patchy AF? In the end I think I used 50g just on the head, and about 125g in total - needing not one but TWO deliveries (since I thought extra 50g would do... idiot). I could tell early on it looks different but obviously was too stubborn to undo what's already been done. I'd like to say I'm gonna learn something from this but I'm not gonna sit here and lie. 😑
Black yarn fortunately means no one can see stitches on Tobias' horns, not just me. 🙄 I felt like I followed all instructions and even made 3 of each just to test if I fucked up by accident but all of them ended up looking a bit off.
Future improvements
I want to learn different ways to do a decrease (sc2tog), or maybe figure out how I'm doing it wrong - it always stands out and looks like shit. The fleece helped hide it in this instance but I won't always be so lucky...
I need more patience when sewing things together, or I'll never make anything that looks straight ahead. 💀
Fortunately I found both a crochet class from end of March and a stitch circle in my local library that just started mid-Jan so I should be able to bother some people irl for advice when a pattern does not make sense to me and just as a second pair of eyes. :')

I slept for maybe 2 continuous hours tonight & had plenty of time to reflect on my poor wheel throwing skills, one thing led to another and now I’m signed up for a women’s only strength training focused gym with three classes in the calendar. :s
Kicking myself cos I never thought about visualising roadmaps this way 🤦🏻♀️ (it would also make it obvious where the organisation is headless, hopefully)
i guess i forgot which blog is which so this is my main now, and the other one is for reblogs
