Lupo WIP!

I've finally gotten around to start my Lupo, the sheep amigurumi doll from Lalylala. When Knitting-and-Crochet over at dA announced their september contest, I knew that I had to make Lupo for it.

Ever since I bought the pattern for Lupo, I've been dying to try it out, but haven't found time for it until now. Being right between two commissions that's not in a hurry leaves a little time slot for me to do my own little thing, and with that contest I just couldn't say no.

With great support and help from my LAC crafter friends, expecially Pickle, I started it yesterday. I feel like I managed to get a great start on it, so even though it looks like nothing, there's a lot of work behind it.

First off, I had to relearn the magic circle...and later on, half double... Crochet stithces and methods don't stick in my brain, they was away as soon as I put my hook down...

Lupo was extra scary for me cause I had to crochet anti-clockwise...which I've never done before. Also the bobble stitch takes forever and a half to make, and with my tiny hook, it takes its toll on my arm. But it's fun! Can't wait to finish up this fella. Lupo is the reason why I first fell in love with Lalylala's designs. They're so adorable, yet simple! And little sheepie here is the cutest one of them all!

Purple sweater WIP!

It's about time I post another WIP! Started the second sleeve the other day and I recently finished it up and put both sleeves in the round with the body. I've currenly worked a couple of rounds and will pretty soon start the yoke fair-isle! Can't wait cause it's so pretty looking!

As always, it looks like crap when layd out like this, but all the measurements are right compared to the numbers I've gotten from the commissioner. My mind goes crazy when I work on sweaters... "What if the sweater doesn't fit? This looks so wrong!" But it always fits in the end.

I really need to hurry up with this sweater though, cause Knitting-and-Crochet on dA recently announced this months contest and I know EXACTLY what I'm going to do for it, but it will take a lot of time. It's crochet (for once) so I will be needing all the time I can get!
