Can't wait to see more! Especially stuff under that characters section.
I'm a perfectionist. XD It was my second crochet piece, so I'm getting better at it. The bunny I did first (which I don't really have any pictures of cause I forgot to take them ;n;) had a few messed up stitches and such, but it's okay cause it helps me learn.

I wasn't sure about switching colours on the scarf, but it actually turned out to be pretty fun. :D

I've made a few crochet Pokemon before! It's a really fun hobby. My hands hurt after a while though. Also I don't understand how to read patterns properly and I always forget what number I'm up to when I try and count xDD So I just make things up as I go. Are you working on anything new at the moment? :D
Yup, Chris loved it! He says they need daily hugs at minimum. XD He's not so good with handling art, though, so I kinda wish he wouldn't throw them around so casually. I semi cringe every time he does. xD

Oh, you crochet too? Awesome. :D And yeah, it does tend to hurt after a while. I found it's worse (for me) with knitting, though. I found this tip online about stitch marking, so that you know where you're up to. Although there are proper stitch markers, I just tend to use a bobby pin and place that through the loop of my last stitch on the round. Just in case, though, I do tend to count my stitches at the end of a round in case I mess up. At one spot on that reindeer I'm pretty sure I had to undo a whole three rounds cause I was lazy and didn't want to use my bobby pin and lost count. ;n;

I saw a few cool Pokemon patterns on the net I'll have to try out. At the moment I'm making a Moogle doll from Final Fantasy X. IT'S ADORABLE. But I need to buy some wire for the pom at the top of the head so it'll stand.
