Return of the Bunny Mufflers! And prints!

Chasing the Frill is doing bunny mufflers again! It's been a long time since I've made them, but I've started to miss them and despite it being 90-105 degrees F here, it's slowly, but surely(!) cooling down that maybe I'll be able to wear my personal bunny again. I'm sure it's a lot cooler and more fall like elsewhere, which means (hopefully) people may want a cute bunny to cuddle up with?

White is a safe color

White is a safe color. Why? Because it's white, you can pretty much make anything with white. And you can color it afterward if needed. White is my default color for experimenting with patterns because I know that in the end, if the pattern turns out well, it'll also look nice in white too! I don't really like buying specific colors unless I purpose in mind for them, or else they just sit in my stash.

Anime Conji

First, sorry for the low quality picture! I forgot my camera on day 1, so the photo above and below were taken with my 3DS.

Demon Bunny

Finally finished the black bunny scarf. The red eyes kind of "glow" in photos with flash. It's pretty cool. But since the rabbit is black, it's hard to take photos!

Colored Eyes

I was running low on safety eyes and with Anime Conji coming up in two months, I need to stock up. Yet I somehow ended up with colored eyes instead of restocking the solid black. I wanted to experiment, and the supplier that I had originally gotten the black from also had a pair of albino/pink eyes. They were cool...but I wasn't sure about buying them yet. I waited too long and someone else snagged them. Instead of just buying the black eyes, I looked up another shop that also had albino eyes, but more red. Wasn't about to let the opportunity slip again, so I bought them along with another two pairs of eyes, also colored.

Marshmallow Pink Bunny

It looks kind of like a pink bunny shaped marshmallow here, right? That's something kind of cute, isn't it? Maybe if I adjusted the head pattern and made the ears shorter and changed eye placement it could be like a bunny-bun. Maybe.

Vanilla Pink Bunny

Finally completed this oddly cute bunny. I actually finished it on the 22nd, but I wanted to wait until after Christmas. Yeah, this is a Christmas gift, not *from* me though. But she did get to pick the colors and how it would be distributed, hence the color combo. I quite like the bright pink and vanilla white together, but it's much too bright for me to use for personal items. Oh well.

Pre-assembly, to see how it would look all together. It's kinda like it's wearing a sweater. The color in the specific pieces make it look kind of panda like too.

Animal Scarf updates

I've been greatly neglecting the current commissions I have. One for a dual-colored bunny, and the other for a deer. I've just been pretty busy recently, that I either forget or don't have time to work. But mostly forgetting. My deadline for the pink/vanilla one is Christmas, so I'll probably finish it first. Especially since I've already been paid for it.

Blue Mint Bunny Scarf Progress #2

Progress photos! I actually finished the scarf weeks ago, but kept forgetting to upload the photos. Here is most of the pieces, with the head being started.

Because there were no ear shape/length specifications [i forgot to say that i could mod it], I just opted for the short rounded ears, since it was meant as a gift and I couldn't remember the age of the girl it was intended for. I figured shorter ears would suit someone younger, as longer ears could get in the way/in her face. I personally prefer the shorter ears myself, because I don't like the longer ears brushing against the bottom of my face when they're up.

Blue Mint Bunny Scarf Progress

While watching Tron: Legacy Thursday evening, I started on a new bunny scarf. Aside from my first bunny, this probably the fastest I've got the scarf done, as I've just completed it about a half hour ago. Even though it's just the scarf right now, it's the most tedious part, so with that out of the way, the rest of the bunny should be done by the end of the night, or by tomorrow night. I'm thinking a black ribbon or a white crochet bow accessory.

AoD MiMi "Leilah-Marie"

In non-crochet business, I got some velvet flowers from Japan. I was in a local group order for it and I just bought them on impulse while I had the chance. They're really quite lovely, but I can't think of anything to attach them to/accessory to make from them. I braided my hair yesterday and wove them in, so they're pretty nice as is with just the wire. I might just keep them that way and weave them into things as needed.
Also, made the bow at a Lolita craft meet up. It's got a snappy clip in the back. I need more fabric bows.

Bear Scarf Progress #3

Just needs eyes! And maybe an ear adjustment...if he needs it. I can't tell. I'm afraid his tail is too big, but if I cut too much from the pompom it might fall apart...

Bear Scarf Progress #2

Photo only post!

Blue Bunny Scarf

Finished the blue bunny scarf today! Yay! And the sun is still out, so I've got naturally lit photos.

Blue Bunny Scarf progress

It looked so weird without ears, so the legs are temporary ears for this photo...

Started on the blue bunny today. Since I was home all day, I didn't have a lot of distractions [besides the internet of course]

Red Velvet Bunny Scarf

Isn't it great when the background blurs itself out to hide my clothes and scarves? Fantastic.

Officially finished the red bunny scarf commission today! And the white accents on the red remind me of red velvet cake. Although, I'm sure in sunlight/natural light it would look more like it, as the lamp in my room makes it a little dark...

Red Bunny Scarf progress 3

All most done! Just need to stuff the legs and attach all the limbs! After that is the pocket/loop/strap-whatever that the bottom half gets tucked into to keep the scarf on, and then finally the tail~

Lots of yarn left over, which really surprises me, after the few other crafts I did with it I expected less. Of course, it will definitely shrink after the tail!

Second bunny scarf commission! Woo.

I know I said I'd have worn photos of the lace bows, but that'll have to wait for a later post.

Now, progress pictures!

Incomplete head! I just like taking in-progress photos...

Rose Bunny Scarf

Midterms are out of the way, so I got to finish her[?] this weekend

I like posting in the middle of the night! And I think I might just do it more often, because being patient and waiting until morning to post my late night accomplishments is so hard to do...

Anyway, I present to you my latest bunny muffler:

He's currently nameless, and still eyeless. I need nice buttons...

And of course, MORE BOWS! Because I love making them. And a bunny, because I could.

Found some left over fuzzy purple yarn, just enough to make two bows with. Also got some left over paper stars from a friend. They're super sturdy, being coated quite a few times and all. I wish I'd gotten more from her though, but as I said, left overs [she makes bracelets, they're really nice]. I thought they'd make a nice touch to dangle from the bows.

First Bunny Muffler

This is Charity, my first bunny muffler/scarf. She's completely crocheted, similar to amigurumi. She isn't complete yet, she still needs eyes and some accents. Since she's my first, she's part of my personal collection.

Progress picture of my next scarf. He's a beige color, the yarn calls it "Bone" I guess. His head is a bit bigger, which may or may not look better. His ears aren't attached yet either. He'll likely have fancy button eyes, and I've already got ribbon/lace tied for accent. If I can secure a pattern for these guys, they might end up in the shop. ;3
