Amigurumi Eeveelution: Espeon

Before I start showing the pictures
There's this thing about my Espeon..

I wouldn't say I did a bad job
Because it really DOES KINDA look good
The only issue is
The colour is off...

You see
Because I ordered all my yarns together, after planning my whole eeveelution colours
And bought from TaoBao
(It's real cheap too! ^^)
The colour that I ordered for this espeon was supposedly purplish pink (more purplish on the picture though)
But when it came, it's more... PINK than purple

I mean, it doesn't matter if your colour is a bit darker or brighter than the original colour (of the Pokemon you're making)
But you see..
When the colour tone itself is kinda TOO different

This happened to my Espeon...

It's really not considered BAD..
If only it was the right colour
Or at least PURPLE
Would have been much better

But anyway pattern credits to!

I edited the pattern a bit too
for the ears and whiskers, just a little tweak in the ch count

Days taken to make: 2!
Same as Umbreon

Did my best to make it look more alike to Espeon but this is what I can do for now
I'll probably get another purple the next time I order and remake one more Espeon~

PS.
I dont know if it's just me
but don't this espeon look like a fox/cat? :p

Amigurumi Pokemon Collection- Eeveelution! : Umbreon

Following my first Pokemon amirugumi (Jirachi)
Next I'm gonna embark on the mission to complete the whole Eeveelution!
(Again, another of my personal favourite little cutie EEVEE!!)

Jirachi may be my favourite among legendaries
but among the rest of the hundreds of Pokemon..
It's definitely Eevee! ^0^
And of course, the WHOLE eeveelution line~

I intended to make Eevee first..
But I'm not really confident with the pattern that I found on the net
So I decided to do another eeveelution first which had a lovely pattern ready....
Umbreon!

So it's fairly easy
And fairly fast too! Compared to Jirachi
But because I just had my day surgery done for my ear infection
I kinda had the whole day to myself when I started to do the eeveelution so..
Of course compared to Jirachi it would be faster in that sense :p

Therefore this umbreon only took me...
2days!!

Anyway here's my umbreon!

Love my little umbreon~

Amigurumi Pokemon collection Start! : Jirachi

So it's been a while since I touched my knitting needles and crochet hooks..
And when I saw some really cute Pokemon Amigurumi online
I got the inspiration to do them too!

SO!
I decided to start my own Pokemon collection!
Not really a collection because I doubt I'll do a lot of different Pokemon
I'm just gonna pick the ones I like and do them :D

First up is.......
Jirachi!

If you haven't known this cutie
Jirachi is a Wish pokemon, meaning she/he (i dont know.. hahah) can make wishes come true!
Shaped like a star, its also one of the few cute ones in the legendary Pokemon list
Personally my favourite legendary (alongside celebi)
But of course Jirachi's first still
why?
because she's a cute little star darling ^0^

I searched a bit for a few patterns around the net for Jirachi
(since I'm not good enough to be making my own patterns yet)
and I took reference from here
http://danniek118.blogspot.sg/2014/11/jirachi_24.html

I did change the pattern a little
Including shortening the body to make it more proportional
and also editing the arms because the method/pattern given was a little bulky after I tested one arm

Took me around a week or less (I took only a few hours every night to do a portion)
And here's the cutie!

Isn't she lovely~ =^0^=
Could have been better still if i remade the body to be rounder and legs a little shorter
But I didn't redo it anyway
Plus I like it this way too!
