what the pattern promised me it'd look like:

what the body, as knitted to gauge and exactly to pattern specs, looked like:

... my man is not beating the weird rat allegations, i'm sorry to say. but that's alright! we can fix him! we have the technology!

#rude #pssst #hey #ffvii friends #I finally realized a song i was trying to match to a few other characters #was actually a song #and im excited and inspired #and i want to share it with someone #all tags #tbd

after just. so ungodly many times. SO many trial and error rounds. i have achieved:

LEGS!!

the original pattern didn't differentiate between the front and back leg shaping at all, which... i think also heavily contributed to the weird rat vibe, honestly, and i still have no idea how i was supposed to stitch the paws into a right angle like the pattern said to.

i made the legs a little narrower, added some short row shaping at the ankles and the back leg knees, and added a cap at the top for the shoulder/hip joints to set the legs more perpendicular to the body, and that seems to have done it!

#knitblr #knitting #dawnposts #plushies #husky dog #ffvii friends #husky!zack #yeah i've significantly edited every aspect of the pattern i've touched so far XD #i think ultimately i'm going to still post it under the original pattern and put my edits in the comments?#but uuuuuhhhh yeah this is #gonna basically end up being an original pattern XD #i'm probably gonna go back later and tinker with the body shaping to see if i can't get some neck shaping happening #but i'm not gonna worry too hard about it for this one

update: i'd kind of given up on doing the colorwork until i was sure that i had the shape correct, which. mm. yeah i altered every single thing about this pattern so far XD but i went back and fixed the back legs and tail -

- look at him being so patient as i sew his leg back on XD, but now it's time for the fine details!!

like his lil toe beans!!

#knitblr #knitting #dawnposts #plushies #husky dog #ffvii friends #husky!zack #HE'S COME SUCH A LONG WAY I'M SO PROUD OF HIM #my datemate suggested adjusting the tail so it curved up a little more and they were so right #it took his body language from 'alert and wary' to 'happy to see you and ready to play'#100000% improvement on the vibe

went on a trip for my cousin's wedding and husky zack kept me company the whole time <3

we're at the final finishing touches now!! i got his cheek scar on,

and after a long, long, LONG narrowing-down process of every single teal-adjacent yarn in my stash, i think i finally found a winner for his eyes!!

stay tuned to see him all finished~

sometimes ravelry doesn't give you what you need. sometimes you have to roll up your sleeves, go to the library of congress, and photocopy a sewn plushie pattern book from 1986 because it's the only good lion pattern you've found and you're launching yourself, wile e. coyote style, off the slippery slope of 'if you want something done right, you just have to do it yourself.'

#he's from carolyn vosburg hall's 'soft animals a to z'#he is my white whale #knitting #knitblr #dawnposts #ffvii friends #<- i got inspired after smol strife to make the whole rest of the cast XD #the lion is meant to represent angeal #it just vibes like him
