I wanted to have a fancy blog, with nicely taken pics and consistent formating. But that just made me postpone actual posting! lol
So I’ll just try to start already and get better as I go. Just like with crochet!
I’ll start with this blue bat I made to gift a friend!
This bat pattern is one of the 20 charming creatures from the Animal Friends of PicaPau book series. I bought kinda by impulse, as amigurumi books are kinda rare to find in physical stores, and while I studied it, I never got to crochet anything from it. Boo! So I showed my friend the pattern list and asked her to choose one so I could make for her. She chose this one!
I’m used to making smaller pieces, so it was a nice experience to try my hand on a bigger pattern again. I couldn’t help but notice that most of time - due to the yarn weight, probably - pieces come out thinner and longer than they were supposed to. (compare the wing sticks to see what I mean!)
I also changed the inner ears more to my liking (the book author do incentive giving your own spin to the patterns and experiment as much as we want~)
Still, I was happy with the outcome!!
I want to try other patterns from the book eventually.
