looking for more?

Just in case you are looking for more of my amigurumis, you may check my main blog
because I don't do a repost, so most of my former amigurumi were posted there.

Robert The Casanova











I started making this amigurumi since last December, and just finished it this March. I never thought it would take that long, because all I wanted was making a simple vicious wolf. Yes, he is a wolf, not a rat nor a rabbit. (my mom called him "lapin")



I have already made all his parts before the end of the year, but something happened just before I sewed all together.

I made a new sketch unconsciously. I sketched him in clothes! Maybe I have been driven crazy by my daily job (making hundreds costume for humanoid avatars), I can no longer stand looking at animal without their clothes. And, Damn... he looked good, so I made him the clothes. Therefore, I had to throw away his old foots but I was too lazy to redo the hands and body.

His jacket was a separate part from his body, It is removable if only his hands are not bigger in the end, then.....

I was stuck for months because of his pants!

I wanted to make him a ballooning pants (now I know, the pants are called pumpkin pants or trunk hose). I watched a lot of "guy in pumpkin pants" movies, and I did a lot of googling to get some reference in making the pants. I'm not even that serious when I was doing my real job.

And finally it's done few days ago. Well I was kinda give up, and doing another knitting project instead of trying to finish it. I even made a real vest for my sister! (something that I wouldn't even want to try unless I am desperate, well I did desperate)

I don't like the red-brown combination, because it's like my old high school uniform, but I don't like using black yarn too, so in the end I picked brown.

About Zpiderdzigh

Lately, I am crazy about knitting and crocheting, that the knitting and crocheting part begin to dominate my main blog. So I think I need to put this part into a different blog.
I'm a designer but when I am knitting, I don't even think of any design, I'm just knitting and follow other's patterns. At first I was knitting and crocheting for spending my spare time, beside playing video games. And then I knit so I don't have to think about my future which make my headache. Now, I knit so I can be a knitted doll or crocheted doll designers.
Of course it is different than making graphic designs for my daily job. But both are fun. I haven't learn any 3D graphic software, but of course my dolls are 3 dimensional. So I think now I may add "experienced in 3D designs" in my portfolio. :D
As my another blogs, any comment will be appreciated. (as long as it is good)
