Il piccolo Paul

Nome scontatissimo, lo so... ma non gli si addice almeno un pochino?! :D

Here we go! This is Paul the sailor octopus, my newest amigurumi friend :)


L'ho ultimato ieri sera, dopo una mezza odissea per recuperare i safety eyes dall'america: bloccati per un mese in dogana a Linate per... accertamenti sanitari (?!) @___@

Sebbene il mio occhio super critico riesca a notare ancora un sacco di imperfezioni, è riuscito comunque a conquistarmi :) E' morbidoso, piuttosto grandino per i miei standard - sui 20 cm - e per la prima volta ho usato un misto lana-cotone al posto del solito cablè :)

I had tons of issues with the safety eyes order this time :(
The customs inspectors misunderstood the content of the package and blocked it at the border for a whole month *__* They just tought "craft eyes" were some sort of cosmetics because of the eye word -__-"
But now, after a long wait, li'l Paul's finished over my printer: he's pretty big - 20 cm - and super softy since i used a blend of merino wool and cotton instead of the usual cablè cotton yarn ^__^

In questa foto il berretto da marinaio si è trasformato in un cappellino da baseball, dandogli un'aria più sbarazzina :)

In this pic i played with his sailor hat, transforming it in a baseball one :) Luv him so much! :D


Here it is during the work in progress :) I'm such a proud mommy :D



Hugs!
