Greetings dear community, did you miss me? I'm sorry I missed needlework Monday, I was busy crocheting, ironic right? 😅 I've been working on a very laborious project, which has taken me 5 days without letting go of the needle, I still don't want to reveal the character I'm doing in amugurumi, I hope to make the big reveal of my project soon, however I want to tell you about of the challenges that I have had in challenges days in addition to telling you how I have felt.
To begin with, I must say that the amigurumi that I am making is not a commission, it is a figure that I have wanted to make for a long time because it means a lot to me on a personal level, as the saying goes "at the house of a blacksmith, a wooden knife" so that when I'm not doing an assignment I'm doing things for my family or friends, leaving my personal projects last, but this time it's different and I'm putting all my heart into achieving it.
One of the peculiarities of this amigurumi is that it will carry a very important accessory in its hands, so I decided to make hands a little more realistic, also introduce wire not only in the arm but also in each of its fingers in a differentiated way so that bending it can hold the object, a while ago I put this technique into practice in the Ninja Toad called Gamaken (I don't know if you still remember that project), because he holds a spear in one hand and a shield in the other, but the hands that toad had longer fingers and therefore it was easier to insert the wire, so I'm still waiting to see if my idea will work this time.
As you know, I really like to make the figures with thin crochet thread, which forces me to use a very fine crochet hook, this compensates for the situation and with the tension that I exert in the stitches there are no holes left, I like this technique because the greater the number of stitches greater number of small details that can be achieved, but as a result my hand always gets tired, I have already told you that I have problems with my joints, but this project has me so excited that I work many hours, yesterday when I finished the day I got up from my work table, I took my phone and walked to the moment, when I got there I dropped the phone to the ground, my hand had completely lost its grip strength, this has been happening but in a moderate way, for example I have little strength to open a faucet or a jar even if the lid is loose, but this is the first time that my hand simply lost the strength to grip for a moment.
Despite everything today my spirits remained intact, because the project is turning out as I expected, I still have important details to do but I think that a good result always takes me some pain, without a doubt when it is ready I will reveal my project but For now I am just looking forward to the new day to continue working, this time no client is waiting for me but my commitment to myself has great value. Until next time 😉
