UUARGH! (The frustrations of short amigurumi memory)

So here I am, working on my next installation of the One Piece amigurumi series and it hits me: I didn't write down the instructions for how I created Sanji's legs and feet.

I spent some time going through my "Crochet Help" folder to see if there was anything in there to jog my memory, and I got nothing. To top it off, I left Sanji at work (he is decorating my cubicle along with Onigiri and the alien).

I will have to complete what I can of the current ami, and remember to bring Sanji home so I can study his legs (hmm, sounds slightly suggestive and fangirlish of me, doesn't it?).

This post is made in lieu of actual project pictures. Apologies all around.

Safety eyes revisited

Just when I had nearly convinced myself that eyeless pandas aren't THAT terrifying, I produce this:



This is Onigiri! Named after the ever popular Japanese rice balls, Onigiri sports snowy white "fur" representing rice and "dried seaweed green" markings. The color change on the body isn't perfect, but I have found a pretty decent tutorial to troubleshoot that (why didn't I refer to a tutorial before completing Onigiri, you ask? Well...I don't know...).

I am left to ponder if I like eyes so much better than no eyes:



Yeah, it is kinda cute. I am not hardcore enough for eyeless amigurumi -_-
