So amazing! I love Spirited Away <33 I can't imagine the almost of work just to make the knitting part of the body. It's so detailed too! I can't wait to see it finished! Are you putting him up for sale?

Thank you so much! He is actually crocheted (which I find much easier than knitting) He will not be up for sale. I'm much too attached to him now that I've put so much time into making him

Incredibly nice! And cool. Your stitches are amazingly tight and neat. I am always so impressed by the quality and attention to detail that you put into your work. I cant wait to see him finished! So nice.

Thank you!! It just takes some practice! It's quite simple once you have the basics down

Wow, that is a LOT of stitches! VERY impressive! I always love large amigurumi because you can do so much more detail with them and the overall look is so smooth, but I usually lack the patience to keep at it for that long.
He's absolutely beautiful; the ears and facial structure are lovely, and while the feet seem simple in construction, the look so awesome! I like the wrapped claws. And the horns curve so nicely! Is there wire in this bad boy? Because the neck looks like it doesn't curve naturally, but I really like that! It's like his skin is wrinkled up there, just like a real neck!
Oh my gosh, this has me so excited. UGHH. Craftgasm. Can't wait to see the finished project!

Thank you so much for the feedback! I really do appreciate it! He of course has some wire running through him. There's no way fluff alone could support this guy I'm glad you noticed the claws! I almost ended up crocheting them but chose this route instead since I figured it would look "cleaner", though they were such an incredible pain to wrap. I can't wait to finish him already!

MilesofCrochet In reply to aphid777 [2013-03-25 13:38:36 +0000 UTC]
Absolutely! He's so beautiful, it really inspires me to try to crochet something larger than 7 inches, lol. When I get more free time.
Yes, the claws do look very clean, which is quite impressive! I usually have one heck of a time doing anything similar in nature to embroidery.
Is this a commission or just for yourself? Something that awesome, if it's not kept for yourself, is either a gift to the most amazing person you know, or being handed over for a GOOD chunk of money. ;D
I just keep staring at it.

7 inches is considered pretty decent-sized for a crocheted plush I think. It's sometimes hard staying interested in larger projects. I don't know how I managed to stick to this.. I have so many unfinished things scattered throughout my room. The last unnaturally large thing I made sat untouched for months before I finally finished it ._. You should definitely give it a shot though! At least I've convinced myself that it's worth it And yes, he's just for me alone *hogs Haku*
After all the work I put in, I don't think I can give him up haha

Haha, oh good, at least it's not just me. But I know exactly what you mean; sometimes you start something and lose interest, but sometimes you get that crazy itch and you just have to make it! And it has to be amazing!
And then you burn yourself out for a few weeks... Lol, try not to do that.

Oh goodness, how amazing. I love the WIP pictures, it's so neat seeing one of your creations step-by-step, and I'm seriously amazed so far, and I feel like I'm just going to be more amazed. THAT MANE. <3 Goodness, so exciting. <3

Thank you! Yeah, I think I'll start taking more WIP pictures so I can remember the long, painful process for each plush XD The mane will probably take a good couple more hours and I'm still unsure about how to do his face! Which I think is such an important part and I'm afraid to mess up! I'm still thinking about what I should use.... decisions.. decisions..

Haha, can't hurt to take WIP pictures, they can be a lot of fun! And wow, that's...a long time. But so worth it. I'm sure you'll figure out his face and manage just fine, I have faith in your skills! \o/

Yeah, definitely! I'm having fun comparing all these before and after pictures Haku needs a bit of a haircut right now.. still nowhere on the face yet haha I'm torn on whether I should try needle-felting his eyes or painting felt.. Embroidery is out.. I can't embroider to save my life :/

MCalhen In reply to aphid777 [2013-03-26 03:50:28 +0000 UTC]
I can't embroider either. It's so difficult. ;-;
Maybe you could practice eyes on something else, then when you decide what works best, use that method?

Yeah, that's a good idea. I'll probably have to do that >_<

He is several feet long I haven't measured him yet but I probably will when I'm all done and when I find a tape measure
Thanks for the +watch too!
