I modded Kuromi!

I got the Kuromi build-a-bear and I was very disappointed on the quality. Her little jester hat was so… flat? 😂 this is her before:

So disappointing! Buuut, I’m a man with a plan… and I can sew 😂 so I sewed some Pom poms to her and made her much more cuddly! :3

Not only was it cheap to do, she pops a lot more and she’s a lot cuter! BAB really do be skimping on quality for profits 😅 I’m just glad I got her honestly, but they SHOULD be making her like how I modded her. Anyways, I absolutely love her now!!! Here she is next to the modded Cinnamoroll :3

Heads up to other yarn users: Knitpicks Wool of the Andes Superwash says you can wash it on delicate cycle. 

This is what happened after I followed the label instructions and did exactly that. 

This blanket was MONTHS of work, and the person who commissioned it has fully paid me for it. It was going to go into the mail last Friday. I washed it on Thursday in anticipation, figuring I might need to make a couple of small repairs since it’s corner-to-corner crochet and it’s not uncommon for a few ends to work themselves free the first time you wash something. 

This is absolute destruction. I have to re-make the entire thing. Luckily, my customer is very understanding and willing to wait even longer to get their blanket. 

I am very, very good at crochet. There was give in these stitches. It laid flat just fine before washing. Nothing about the construction explains this level of damage from a single, label-folllowed wash. This is a quality issue with Knitpicks. I’ve sent them an email about it. I’m beyond angry especially because I find the yarn lovely to work with, but now I don’t know that I’ll ever trust it again. 

At least Bean is pleased she has a new blanket. She doesn’t care there are huge holes all over it because I trusted the label. She just likes that she can dig all over it and settle down.

Tumblr, why?

Tumblr is terribly distorting image quality, especially on app, so remember to tap on pictures, it changes a lot for better. Even on browser is better to look stuff enlarging images.

I get so frustrated with the amount of excuses people make for companies. A company sends out warped resin? They must have been hurrying and didn't have time to cure it. A company takes 3x the estimated waiting time? You should have researched, they're known for that. Quality control is lacking? Well, they're only a small group of a few people... Let's just be honest, shall we? They have bad business practices, but you're going to keep buying from them anyway.

I hate with all the FL hate, no one brings up how people don't report issues to Fairyland because they think it's not going to do anything. They're a HUGE contributor to the problem, it's not just that people are giving Fairyland money. I have had an issue myself with quality, so I contacted them and they fixed it. Everyone I know who's actually taken the time to photograph and contact Fairyland, has gotten poor quality item replaced.
