RESOBOX has also decided they will keep the exhibition open longer then originally planned. So it will run until the end of March so if you didnt get a chance to go by and see it you still have time!
Also coming up in March is Kawa Kon (6-8) and I will have a panel on March 7th from 5:30-7pm. I will be showing of some Amigurumi, talking a bit about its history, and how its done, how to read patterns and interpret charts. I will also be doing a giveaway and some of the smaller examples I bring I may give away to people who show up, have interesting questions, or are die hard fan's of the show/theme the ami is based on.
I took some liberty's in the pattern and made it more to my liking. I made the hood a true hood that could be put up or down. I gave the doll a full head of hair that can be styled. I also opted to make fingers for the hand instead of leaving them looking like mittens.
I also changed how the legs and feet where made, I didnt like how the toes section worked up. As well as I crocheted the scarf instead of knitting it, I didnt see a point in mixing the two styles, so I just did a simple 1 1/2 foot chain, and sc in the BLO for 3 rows then add fringe to finish it off.I over stuffed the arms a little to much, which I did not realize till after I had gotten them fully sewn into the body so they are not as pose-able as I would like.
This will be one of the larger pieces I plan on bringing to Kawa Kon as an example for people to see. After Kawa Kon it will become a birthday gift for my niece.
I still need to work up some more items for examples that I can give away.
