Amigurumi Piggy Memo Clip 豬豬便條夾鉤織娃娃

From the crochet book on Teddy Bear, there is a pattern on a lying dog memo clip which I've always wanna to try, but I have not able to get the suitable clip to be used, so in turn I substitute with a smaller hair clip, and modified the design from doggie to piggie, which will be less complicate, just to try out how things turn out if using a smaller clip.

在<就愛新歡泰迪熊Teddy>裡, 有一款趴趴狗便條夾的鉤織圖是我一直想嘗試的, 可是一直沒找到合適的夾子, 於是我就用較小的髮夾替代, 然後更改了設計, 从趴趴狗改成比較簡單鉤織的趴趴豬, 想說先試試看用小夾子的效果.

The crochet part of this memo clip was easy, the hardest part would be attaching the clip to the mouth of the piggy. Since the clip is small so I have to tie it at the center part so it won't shifted, but the length of it was much longer than the mouth, so half of the clip has to be stuffed into the head part. And this clip has a narrow surface, not like the wide surface of the clip used in the original design, so after the clip has been installed into the head, it was not able to press open the clip, however, it is still able to slip any name card or memo pieces into the mouth without falling out.

這個便條夾的鉤織部分蠻簡單, 艱難的是把夾子系在嘴巴的部分. 由於夾子蠻小, 所以必須把它綁在中間以防移位, 可是它的長度卻超出嘴巴的部分, 只好把長出的夾子藏身於頭部. 同時由於這是個窄夾子, 不像原本設計中使用的寬面夾子, 所以當安裝好在頭部裡面後, 並沒有辦法把它按開, 可是, 還是可以輕易的把名片或便條紙塞進嘴巴而不掉落.

Although this is not consider a successful attempt, the big piggy head and nose are still adorable.

雖然這不算是個很成功的嘗試, 可是它那個豬大頭豬大鼻卻還是滿可愛嘀.

 

I've given away this piggy as a gift to my friend in Taiwan, together with her mate - the Bee Piggy. I believe the new owner will treat them very well!
我把這個豬豬便條夾送給了一位遠在台灣欣賞它的主人, 同時還給它做了個伴呢 - 蜜蜂豬豬. 我相信你們的新主人會對你們很好的!

Amigurumi Mini Shiba 迷你日本柴犬鉤織娃娃

Before I knew how to crochet, I've once bought a mini crocheted doggie from a street fair, only about an inch tall, super cute and amazed by the skill to make such an adorable craft. After I started my amigurumi journey, I'm not sure why but I've never come across any doggie design. So that day when I was searching for crochet books, this one with lots of cute doggie design finally reached me.

在我還沒有懂得鉤織之前, 我曾經在一個市集裡買過一隻迷你鉤織狗狗, 只有大約一寸高, 非常可愛, 同時也非常驚訝於能夠做出如此精緻手藝的技術. 當我開始了我的鉤織娃娃旅程後, 不知為何從來沒有遇上過任何狗狗的鉤織圖. 直到那天在找尋鉤織書時, 終於碰上了這本充滿著各式各樣可愛狗狗的書本 - <鉤針狗狗的每一天>.

After finished reading the book, then only I found that actually it is not as hard as I thought to crochet a mini dog. There is a basic model for all the doggies, but slight changes in here and there for different breed. The book also introduced three poses, the stand pose, the sit pose and the lie pose, and among them, I love the sit pose most.

看完了整本書, 我才發現原來要鉤織迷你狗狗並不如我想像中的難. 全部的狗狗都有一個基本的造型, 不過不同的品種就有些微的變化. 書中還提供了三種姿勢, 站姿, 坐姿和趴姿, 而其中我最喜歡的就是坐姿.

Although there is a lot of design available, the one I've chosen was the Shiba, and this was also the only pattern with detail step to step. Since I'm using the common worsted weight yarn with a bigger hook, and not the fingering yarn, so the size of doggie I've made was much bigger than the mini dog I've bought, around 3" tall, though it is still a handsome doggie.

雖然書中有許多的款式, 我選擇了日本柴犬, 而這個也是唯一一個有詳細步驟的款式. 由於我使用了一般粗的毛線配上大號鉤針, 而不是細毛線, 所以我的鉤織狗狗比購買的那隻大許多, 大概有3寸高, 可卻依然英姿非凡呢.

Amigurumi Patchy Piggies 拼布豬鉤織娃娃

After completed a few Palmie Bear couples, wanna to change the mood, so just grab a crochet book from the bookshelf and wanna to make something quick and yet, must be cute too.

完成了幾對掌心熊系列娃娃後, 想要轉換心情, 於是隨手拎起書架上的一本鉤織書<愛不釋手的毛線娃娃>, 想要做一個即快, 但又必須可愛的作品.

After flipping through the pages, instantly attracted to the little boar amigurumi, as I've always wanna to make a piggy doll but always distracted by other doll designs, and then modification to them, so finally this time I must make up my mind to do it.

翻了翻內頁, 就看上了可愛的山豬娃娃, 主要也是很久以前就想要做個豬娃娃, 可是一直被其他娃娃造型吸引, 還有延續的款式變化, 所以這一次無論如何也要動手了.

I followed the basic model as per the book, but skipped the sharp teeth, and replaced the round toy eyes with smiley eyes sewn with yarn, then made the curly cute tail, finally added crocheted patches on the plain body, so my first ever Patchy Piggy was completed.

基本造型和書上一樣, 可是我免去了山豬的尖牙, 把原本圓圓眼珠子換成毛線縫上的咪咪笑眼, 把尾巴做成可愛的卷卷狀, 最後在略顯單調的身體縫上也是毛線鉤織的拼布, 就完成了我第一隻的拼布豬.

Wonder whether due to the couples amigurumi that I've made recently, after the first piggy, can't wait to make another one to accompany it.
And so, by using the same colors of yarns but different combination, the second Patchy Piggy was born.

不知道是不是做多了情侶娃娃, 完成了第一隻豬豬後, 就立刻想要做另一隻來陪伴它.
於是, 就運用了同色毛線組但不同的配搭, 第二隻拼布豬娃娃也誕生了.

The fat and round piggies, even hubby said they are cute~
What do you think?

胖胖圓圓的小豬, 連老公看了也說可愛~

When the angel meets with the devil, she melts his heart, and brings him back from the evil hell.
Since then, Miss Angel likes to fly around the clouds with her cutie little white dress and flapping her angel wings, looking down to Mr Devil who likes to enjoy the calmness during the sunset while wearing his dark cloak.

當天使遇上惡魔, 她溶化了他的心, 把他從萬惡的地獄帶回來.

Angel and Devil, just like love, you can be in heaven for a minute, but the next will fall into hell, up and down in cycle, but this is the wonderful of love, isn't it?

天使與惡魔, 就好像愛情一樣, 前一秒可以是天堂, 下一秒卻可以是地獄, 上上下下的迴旋, 但這就是愛的奇妙, 不是嗎?
