NPM: Pachirisu Crochet

So it's that time of the week again, new project monday! I had been given this pattern by a friend and asked if I could make it for her mom for her birthday. Unfortunately I got her birthday wrong and thought it was this last Friday, but it was actually last Wednesday. I have to go bring this late gift to her ASAP! But I thought I would share the project with you all!

As you may notice Pachirisu doesn't have a mouth yet, I'm not 100% sure what I wanted to do for it's mouth and have been playing around with a bunch of different ideas, but for now he's a quiet little guy :P I was given this pattern already printed out, but was able to find the pattern again here. He is actually REALLY large. You can't tell by the pictures, but he measures about 8.5 inches tall!! I wasn't expecting that!!
Anyway, here is my version of Pachirisu :) Enjoy (and Happy Birthday Mrs. Sullivan!!)

 

The only complaint I have with this pattern is that his tail is VERY heavy and doesn't stand up quite as nicely as the pictures in the pattern show. Maybe I did something wrong, I will say this, the pattern is written VERY well and is easy to follow and complete. I learned quite a few tricks while using this pattern for my own Avatar/Harry Potter patterns that I'm working on!!

 

I love the little arms, and the way the tail stripe and head stripe meet up perfectly!! 

I find his face adorable lol, and I am proud of how neat my crochet looks on film (and in person!) hard to believe I just taught myself to crochet a few short weeks ago!!

I am about halfway through another pattern, and am about 25% finished with my first pattern (I hope!) I have to see how it all meshes together!! But for now, practice makes perfect!!

Just so you know, there will not be a New Project Monday next week as I am going to be on vacation! YAY! But if you want to keep up with what I'm working on/doing while away check me out on twitter: https://twitter.com/ButterflyAttic

Harriet is coming with me on vacation, I'll post pictures on twitter of the adventure's she is having!

NPM: Pokemon Crochet!

So it's new project monday time again and I have a cute little crochet Pokemon to share with you! I just recently (like this month) taught myself how to crochet more than just endless chains. I stumbled on a website that offers a TON of pokemon patterns and my brother thought this one was adorable, so we got the wool and off I went! I took my time on this project as I was still learning all the terms and how to actually do what the pattern said, but after much time on YouTube I am now a confident crocheter and am working on a bunch of other projects right now! YAY! :D
So without further ado I present Wooper:

I must admit I am beyond pleased with how he turned out! I still can't believe I can now go make all those cute little amigurumi I have pinned on my Pinterest boards!! :D 


I'm sure you're all waiting with baited breath for my etsy store to open, I am going to work on taking the pictures of my products now that I have enough made to start the shop off :) I'll let you know when it's up and running, until then stick around, I'm gonna share another little crochet fella tomorrow :D
