Amigurumi Eeveelution: Eevee

Okay so I admit I procrastinated QUITE long hahahha
so it seemed like I spent 1-2 weeks on Eevee
but on fact if you really calculate it I'll say it took a good 3-4days

and as previously I mentioned i was gonna experiment on the furs part of eevee/flareon
and well, I tried out the Loop stitch on this eevee
honestly speaking, it wasn't bad
but because the pattern was originally flat
it turned out too fluffy
and I thought it could have sort of fit flareon a lot better
maybe i should have stick to the flat pattern

All in all conclusion is
i am NOT satisfied with this eevee ><

maybe because Eevee is my little favourite so I wanted it the best but it didn't turn out up to my expectation
maybe I'll edit another one after i finish the whole eeveelution

Anyway here it is~

I added the little furs on the face
it's the same ones i used for Jolteon's face

Also, comparing this eevee to the rest of my eeveelutions
the proportions.. isn't right there
well apparently eevee looks bigger than the rest, which theoretically it should be the opposite lol
so yea, i'll need some work when i redo this

surprisingly when i review the amigurumi pokemon i've done up till now
I'm really satisfied with leafeon
jirachi is still my best, just tiny bit away from perfect because of the body/legs
and umbreon was easy so lets not compare that
but leafeon i thought was done really good!
jolteon wasn't bad too but leafeon just looks better

anyway
next up should be flareon
i'll probably take my time again since i have some work on hands right now

Amigurumi Eeveelution: Leafeon

So I decided on Leafeon next
And it turned out well!

I have to say BIG THANKS to the pattern maker for leafeon because it was pretty fun ^0^
and it reminded me about other crochet stitches such as double/triple crochets
(because the last few times I crochet I have been doing amigurumis and its mostly just.. sc :P)
Didn't have much problem with the pattern
Just a couple of calculation was wrong
And I edited the back legs a little shorter, and also edited the tail a little wider at the top
(And not to forget my inner ears which I always crochet instead of cutting ready-made felt)

Rest of the pattern was good :D
Took me around 3days to complete I'd say

Here's the cutie!

I'm pretty satisfied with leafeon!
and to be honest I was quite surprised when it started looking good
Honestly out of the eeveelutions I never really liked leafeon
Maybe because leafeon was released together with glaceon
and I really love glaceon :P

But while making this leafeon, I started liking this cutie quite a lot!
Maybe because the anime didn't really focus/emphasize leafeon so it looked as if leafeon isn't much impressive
but while making this, I realise leafeon really do have its own charms

I never thought of leafeon like this, but now
She really looks like a little forest elf to me :D

so anyway! Next up
I don't know.
Definitely not the blue ones (Vaporeon/Glaceon) because I'm re-ordering the blues
I thought about sylveon but I thought of getting the new blues first before deciding which blue I wanna use for her
And we're left with eevee and flareon which I still haven't thought about the best way to settle the furs because I really love them fluffy looks and I don't want to just make them...FLAT in the end

Probably I'll take a break while ordering the blues + deciding the furs~

Amigurumi Eeveelution: Jolteon

Here comes Jolteon..!

and once again body+head+legs are from wolfdreamer~
http://wolfdreamer-oth.blogspot.sg/2010/08/umbreon-plushie.html

Initially I wanted to do Vaporeon first after the sun+moon couple (AKA Umbreon+Espeon)
and planned to do the first 3 eeveelutions (Jolteon+Vaporeon+Flareon)
But plans are meant to be changed :p
The blues that I got aren't really close to the right blue I wanted
So I'm thinking I would probably buy a few other blue shades along with my espeon purple the next time
and for now, lets just do the rest first

So I decided on jolteon, because I specially got a different yellow for it compared to the one I used for jirachi and umbreon rings
Its a little darker, probably darker than the yellow I see from pictures online
But I was pretty sure it would work out great because this yellow is just like thunder yellow
Just a tint of orange shade, but not too dark, not too bright of a yellow either

Anyway!
Though I credited the pattern but to be honest I basically only followed her ear and collar pattern
(not to forget body+head+legs are ofc, still from wolfdreamer)
I made my own patterns for the spikes because the ones from the link is all magic rings and rather thick
As I don't use ready-made felt pieces, I made my own black inner ear too
This is a lesson learnt from my Espeon..
Never do wool felting on a big area such as the inner ear lol

And so this one took longer than my umbreon/espeon
technically it's double the time
Took this one 4days
But also because I was kinda relaxed doing it because I had to plan the spikes too so I kinda slowed down my speed too......
..So maybe you wanna say it's 3days! :P

Alright here we go

Pretty much satisfied with this little one ^0^
The spikes turned out great too~ (Just lotsa weaving ends to do)
And kinda heavy too..
And this one almost, ALMOST used up my yarn ball (and mind you, it's a new ball..!)

But anyway enjoyed making this~
Next is probably flareon
But I've been hesitating on both eevee and flareon because of their fluffy parts
Someone on the net did them like fur but I still can't decide if I want it that way or make it a fixed shape sooooooooooooooo...
I dont know, maybe I'll end up doing someone else first instead while I think xD
