Scenes from my #AnimePasadena weekend! • Congratulations on a huge and successful 4th year filled with amazing guests and panels. I took the Forger family with me, now complete with 母 Yor. I'm working on possibly Chimera-san and/or Bond soon. • My friends at @okamotokitchen always providing THE BEST! All my faves in one plate. • I was too lazy to switch out inserts from the last con but my Sk8 The Stage can badges were a hit to many! Looks like it's staying for my final con of the year next month. This year's haul consisted of 4 tote bags (!!!) and a whole lot of #matchablossom. Of course. 🍵🌸 . . . . . #spyxfamily #amigurumi #medaami #conlife #anime #animeconvention #haikyuu #sk8_stage #sk8theinfinity #anyaforger #loidforger #yorforger #okamotokitchen #animecrochet #haikyuu #kurootetsurou #kojironanjo #kaorusakurayashiki #animepasadena2022 (at Pasadena Convention Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClNbE9-r384/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hump Day! We're almost done with the week! • (I honestly don't know what to post anymore. It's like my IG is ded.) • Patterns by @medaami. Yor is still a WIP, along with 3 other projects. Yeah, stress level is quite high lately. Sigh. . . . . . #crochet #amigurumi #medaami #crochetgeek #crochetersofinstagram #igcrochet #amigurumitoys #spyxfamily #amigurumiaddict #amigurumilove #crochetlove #crochetgirlgang #amigurumis #crochetaddict #anyaforger #loidforger #leftyknots #handmade #handmadewithlove #crochetismytherapy #anime #animecrochet #spy_family #leftyknots https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj5nRHerNFf/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

父とのオデケケ！！！ • Anya and Loid on an ooting at Santa Anita Park celebrating Japan Family Day and Family Circle Cup. Anya saw some horses and a drink that's the same color as her hair! • Patterns by @medaami. I'm currently working on Yor. I hope she can join in the next ooting. . . . . . #crochet #amigurumi #medaami #crochetgeek #crochetersofinstagram #igcrochet #amigurumitoys #spyxfamily #amigurumiaddict #amigurumilove #crochetlove #crochetgirlgang #amigurumis #crochetaddict #anyaforger #loidforger #leftyknots #handmade #handmadewithlove #crochetismytherapy #anime #animecrochet #spy_family https://www.instagram.com/p/CjPJoXdORlh/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Anya is わくわく! 🤩🤩🤩 • This was one of the most involved projects I've ever done. It was my first time making hair this way. And my first time using glue - reinforcing it with stitches, gotta weave those ends in somehow - to stick down yarn pieces together. I admit, I put it down for a time, mainly because I ran out of the pink (check your lot numbers!) because it got intimidating. But looking at how adorable it turned out, it was all worth it. In fact, I'm already working on 父 Loid! • Pattern: @medaami. Yarn: @yarnspirations Lily Sugar and Cream. Hook: F/3.75mm, the one I used here was from @knitterspride the soft feel steel one. . . . . . #crochet #amigurumi #medaami #crochetgeek #crochetersofinstagram #igcrochet #amigurumitoys #spyxfamily #amigurumiaddict #amigurumilove #crochetlove #crochetgirlgang #amigurumis #crochetaddict #anyaforger #leftyknots #handmade #handmadewithlove #crochetismytherapy https://www.instagram.com/p/ChXuY5Dv3oy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I love amigurumi. I really do. 🧶 • But what are some things you dislike about it? I happen to drag my heels at stuffing and sewing parts together. I'm fine with weaving in the ends, yes. I pinned all of Anya's hair down and looked at all the sewing I had to do and... oh boy. I can glue them all down but when I did a test with tacky glue, it came off. Maybe I should apply more? I will sew if I have to but what's your glue for cotton yarn recommendation? • Oh yes, I do plan to make Yor and Loid as well since I skipped out on the Nendoroids!
