A beautiful set of 31 Bone Clones® replica claws and talons, and a savings when purchased as a set. Perfect for comparative studies and display. Set includes all of the claws and talons in our bird, cat, bear, and canid claws or talon sets, plus several others - 31 in all: great horned owl, golden eagle, bald eagle, red-tailed hawk, raven, peregrine falcon, barn owl and harpy eagle (also available as a set of bird talons), African lion, lynx, bobcat, cougar, Russian lynx, cheetah dew claw, African leopard, cheetah front claw, Siberian tiger and jaguar (also available as a set of cat claws), grizzly, polar, black and sloth (also available as a set of bear claws), wolf, fox, raccoon and coyote (also available as a set of canid claws) and komodo, beaver, snapping turtle, badger and porcupine. An impressive grouping.
My flatmate requested a 'whale in a top hat'. I originally wanted to do something in trans flag colours but the light pink yarn I started with felt a bit meh... I already had an order coming with some Hobbii Universe, so I went to my local yarn shop to try and find something suitable for the belly and Schwedenrot sock in Over the Rainbow* seemed to more or less fit the bill.
I think the yarns go decently well together and again, I have more luck than reason in that they ended up being similar (very fine for me!) weight and I could sew them up without the wee guy being horrifically misshapen haha. Doesn't really read trans in the end due to more green-ish elements than blue tho...
As I finally gifted him around St Patrick's Day the 'top hat' (the top of which likes to pop up making it not look like a top hat...) element is green, so his name is Wally O'Whaley! 🐋🍀🏳️⚧️
The needle felted guy is really just a cleanup, I must have started him 4-5 years ago, probably from a kit? I like the shape of the fins a lot!

*the sock yarn came in a hank - I've never had one before and it was a FUCKIGN NIGHTMARE to unravel and get into a workable state. I'd say never again but I already bought another nice hand dyed hank at stitch fest so I will just continue suffering?? 🥲
I slept for maybe 2 continuous hours tonight & had plenty of time to reflect on my poor wheel throwing skills, one thing led to another and now I’m signed up for a women’s only strength training focused gym with three classes in the calendar. :s

limpiando mi casa la toda dia pero todavía no terminado. 🫠 porqué tengo tantas ropas?? de todas formas, muchos no son mi talla pero las gustan y no quiero las tirar. :(
My mum would not stop asking me to make her a Frenchie amigurumi and I wanted something where I could relax a bit about the pattern/quality after the raccoon, work with a bit bigger hook etc haha. 💀
TBF I wouldn't even post it but I think it's neat to see how far I've come in terms of sheer speed- I think making both took roughly the same amount of time. 🤯 So it's a 2.5 months progress post of sorts.

Frenchie from StringyDingDing:
A super quick one, simple to crochet but with A LOT of sewing (see here for WIP parts).
From a free pattern by StringyDingDing:
the pouch was ending up way too small and I had to improvise
I didn't do the face shaping bit (might do later, got a turtle to sew up first x__x)
i guess i forgot which blog is which so this is my main now, and the other one is for reblogs
