There are certain times that I just NEED to make an amigurumi. This was the case. It’s like my fingers itched to make it. So I did.
Besides, I had to do one because I have a custom order for it and I have been putting it off way too long so when inspiration hit I took full advantage!
Here he is:
I had to deliver this sock monkey. They’re not much my style, although I find them weirdly adorable and I particularly like that you can accesorize and personalize them in a lot of ways. This one is plain, though.
The challenge, for me, was that it has a part sewed. I don’t sew, although I would love to learn, and it seems like I’m on the right path, because even when I spent an hour figuring out how to do it, on the first leg alone, the end result was ok.
This are his pics. I followed this tutorial.
Now I’m off to bed, it’s 3 o’clock in the morning! Do you think I lost my mind??
My sister had been asking me to make this for a while now, and as I am determined to complete all of my requests from friends and family, I got to it.
He was one of the 12 apostles of Jesus, and is very popular here in Mexico.
Ok, one more ready, 2540 to go!!
Finally!!! I was able to get the exact yarn color for Ron Weasley hair, I started him a little more than a month ago as we were returning from that fabulous vacation, and then I got stuck because my quality department (aka my daughter) didn’t like any of my orange yarn, so yesterday I finally found it and was able to make that awesome mane for him.
Truth be told, it was totally worth it. I LOVED the final result, and the hair! This time I did it differently, section by section; altough I wouldn’t use this on dolls that are meant to be played with because if you pull one section up you still can see the “bald” spots, which are still orange, but even so. I always hated it when I was playing with my dolls as a kid and then when I would move them the bald spots appeared. Ugh.
So enough of my babbling. I give you Ron Weasley!!!!!!:
I have the pattern almost ready, I just need to test it (Hello, Hermione!!!) and then I can share it with you guys.
