So... sorry I missed last week, and that I haven't posted any of those new projects yet, but school's been pretty busy lately. So this week I decided to put up TWO projects!!
Squishy!
Squishy was my first crochet project EVER. The only crocheting I'd done before him was the strap for a market-bag I made for a friend (the bag itself was knit and beaded). Squishy generally lives sitting atop my computer monitor and actually has eight legs, though they were a bit hard to fit on.
Though I generally prefer knitting to crocheting - I still find crocheting quite awkward and slow - I have to say though, that stuff requiring shaping like small toys turn out really nice done in crochet. I've done a few toys now and I like how they turned out :D
The only knitted toy I've done was a knitted ninja, and while I loved how it turned out, getting all the shaping done did get a little tricky, hehehe.
X-Wing
So this is an origami x-wing I folded. It's another pattern from Joseph Wu's site, though the pattern itself is by Wayne Ko.
The pattern is actually a bit confusing in places - when I went to do it again(months later) I couldn't remember how I got it to work! Nothing a bit of perseverance can't handle, however.
