I started on Thursday with some tutorials on the net, never having even touched a crochet needles before. On Friday evening I started my first amigurumi project using the pattern found here http://cthulhucrochet.blogspot.com/2008/05/tiny-cthulhu-free-pattern.html Aside from the wings I was finished by late Saturday. Today is Monday and thanks to a little coaching I got the wings made and completed and here's some pics...
First attempt...
He ended up being a little loose and see through as I am a bit of a noob AND completely misunderstood the basics of crochet and had been crocheting through the back loop the entire time. I call him Camothulhu.
Second attempt. This time I used a smaller needle (3mm), crocheted properly and was very tight. I think I stuffed up during the body because it came out a lot smaller than the head. Also I have not yet added wings but here's the progress...
Also, I doubled the length of the chains on his tentacles cos I thought the ones on Camothulhu were a bit short, unfortunately because he turned out so small the tentacles turned out fairly disproportionate. Soon I plan on adding his wings but thinking I'll skip arms on this one.
(PS. More pics will be posted when I get a chance)
