Description
17th one of the emoticon series.This time:
Size of the base: 4.5cm (1.77") in diameter.
Hands are movable, but not posable. Therefore I had to fix the hand holding the fish with a needle... without the needle, he's dragging the fish behind him like a security blanket.
EDIT: Decided to enter it into #Plushie-Database 's Pastel Colours Contest , too. Let's see where that get's me.
All emoticons I've done so far can be found here: [link]

I like the fish, too. though I forgot to write down the pattern for the tail fin.
will have to see if I can figure it out again by just looking at it.

Ich find den hier so cool:

haha... der wird definitiv ein balance-problem haben.
ich hab ja 'ne recht lange liste mit emotes, die ich gerne machen will. da werde ich eine ganze weile zu tun haben. nur bedeutet die masse auch, dass man sich immer nur schwer entscheiden kann...

Oh mist, stimmt...
lol....die gehen doch recht schnell, oder?
Mit diesem doppelten Dingsbums, den ich au probieren durfte...oder ganzer dingsbums...

Ich habs vergessen

das war ein stäbchen.
und ich muss feste maschen nehmen. 2 reihen feste maschen entsprechen einer reihe stäbchen. aber bei stäbchen gibt's zu große zwischenräume, was nicht gut fürs ausstopfen ist. sonst wär ich wohl auch faul.
für die base brauche ich 1 1/2 stunden. und alles, was ich vorher nicht schonmal irgendwie designed habe, muss ich neu entwickeln. das kostet etwas zeit. ein komplett neuer emote dauert je nach komplexität zwischen 5 und 10 stunden.

It's been a long time since I saw a crocheted emote from you
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha. true. it's been a while. but I've submitted one in march already.
will keep making more, promise. I have another one started already, though that one might take a while to show up here. I keep starting others instead of finishing it.

Will you post patterns for some of the newer ones like
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
as soon as I have 8 patterns, I'll post a new PDF. promise.

Ahaha, that's wonderful!! I love the idea you had for the arms and the expression is perfect!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thank you.
I had to get the expression right at first try this time. didn't have my black embroidery thread with me, so I had to use the fuzzing black crochet yarn. so I'm quite relieved it worked out right away.
wish I could have used wire for the arm with the fish though...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Congratulations one more time then!!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thanks. it's hard to compromise between the arm being freely movable and being stable enough to hold the fish up on its own.
so, for now he's "dragfish" more than he's "shakefish". unless I take him and wave him around.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahah, I see! XD you could use a spring but in that way you couldn't cover the arm with the yarn! :/
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha, but it would certainly be funny. would have to be a sturdy spring, to be able to hold up the fish. but flexible enough that poking the fish will make it shake... hmmm...
and I could sew the other hand directly to the body so that I wouldn't have to worry about that arm being different from the other.
I really like that idea. might put the emote back onto my to do list for a revamp some day.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, it's not simple to find the right spring, I didn't think about it!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'll just keep that idea in mind and should I come across the perfect spring, I'll make another shakefish emote.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thanks.
I like tiny. it's a challenge to make something small and still get an appropriate amount of detail in.
glad you like it.

Finde ich lustig, dass du solche Projekte als Ausrede nimmst, um andere Projekte nicht zu machen. Als wenn das hier einfacher wäre...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
nicht einfacher, aber interessanter.

"I have a crocheted fish and I'm not afraid to use it!!!"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah. at least that one's not smelly.
the wire for the arm didn't work out, btw. but this way, I can shake the emote and the fish is moving around wildly. that's far too much fun. I've done it a few times already.

danke. sowas kommt dabei heraus, wenn ich mich vor einem anderen häkelprojekt drücke.
hatte gestern keine lust an meinem oberteil weiterzuhäkeln, also hab ich geschaut, was für garn ich dabei habe und dann aus meiner liste einen passenden smiley ausgesucht.
und jetzt möchte ich am liebsten noch einen machen, nur um das oberteil weiter rumliegen zu lassen.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aber nicht das du mit dem anderen Projekt hinter den Zeitplan fällst
Oder kannst du dir zeit lassen ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
da gibt's keinen plan. das mach ich nur zum spaß für mich selbst. dauert insgesamt auch nicht so lange, aber ist halt ein sehr langweiliges muster.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
somehow, most of those line mouths end up looking smiling. no idea why. have him next to my laptop right now and the smile is gone. probably depends on the angle from which you look at him and if a flash is used or not.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
haha alright
