Giraffe Test (FOUND testers! Thanks!)

[crochet_queen_03]

I'm looking for about 3 - 4 testers for my giraffe pattern. I will say that it does take a while to make up as there are color switches and a lot of detail in him but he's still very fun to make.

 

If you're interested, please let me know, I'll contact you via pm and get your email and such and send the pattern your way

 

 

( I don't have spots on this guy yet but in the pattern, I do have it where it tells ya how to make them

)

If you'd like someone who's never made a stuffed animal to give it a try, I'd be glad to give it a go.

 

I bought stuffing to try to make a critter, just haven't had the nerve to try.

 

I'm between projects right now, so I can devote my complete attention to it right now.

 

Let me know, and thanks for considering me!

Thanks for letting me test:c9

Alrighty! That's 2! I need two more!

[angelfire]

I would love to try it.

[Becks]

Oh! I'd love to test this pattern!

 

I made a giraffe blanket for my niece who is pregnant, and this would look perfect to go with the blanket!

(She has a sort of safari-themed nursery with John Lennon's "Real Love" animal prints and things).

 

Let me know!

If you still need a tester, I am game.

You are so talented and seems like you're having fun too.

[aussiecrocheter]

WOW!!! It's gorgeous!

[Dortya]

I would really like to test the giraffe pattern, but I guess you have enough testers already:(

 

Well, anyway, he looks adorable:manyheart

[crochet_queen_03]

Okay! I have my testers! Yay! Good luck everyone!

[marnie413]

Wow he is so cute I was hopeing to get in on the testing of this so i could do it for my neice but i was gone all day so i missed it. Just a note what if you used plastic needlepoint canvas in the neck?

[crochet_queen_03]

ya know, that's a really good idea I never thought of that

[sewmouse]

I would really like to try your pattern. You make such cute things. The ones you have put on this site were such fun to make and they leave my home about as fast as I can make them.

I've already found all the testers I need sorry

[Becks]

alrighty crochet queen, I worked all day yesterday on this little guy. He's just sooooo cute! (Images are clickable for enlargement).

 

 

I chose these colors to match the blanket I have made for my neice.

I used Homespun (color - Coral Gables) with black and a no-name yellow from Target.

 

The directions were fine. I felt I needed to add two more rows for the neck and the body but I think it was because the Homespun yarn was more "squishy" than a regular yarn.

It was helpful to have the drawing of the arms as to how you should make them. I also added two more rows for those.

 

I wasn't sure about the spots. Hope I got them right. I made them and them sewed them on with trailing yarn.

 

I added the mane and tail puff because that is how the giraffe in my blanket looked. I did that just like you would add fringe to the edge of something.

 

I really enjoyed making this, thank you for giving me the opportunity to try it out for you!!!

I'm sure my neice will love it!

[crochet_queen_03]

That looks great! Great job on it! I'm really glad to know that my pattern works out! I love those colors!

[Dortya]

I really enjoyed testing this pattern, thanks CQ!

I didn't do the spots but just crosstitched some on him and also a crocheted little heart on his tummy.

[Becks]

Oh that's a great idea on the spots!

I love the heart on the tummy too!!!!

He's so cute!

I like the eyes you chose too.

And you take such great pictures! I wish I was not so clumsy with the camera. I've still got to make your dog!

[crochet_queen_03]

Okay! I'm officially IN LOVE with the giraffe! lol, I love the colors! And I agree fully with Becks, I love the x's. I'm going to change it to that I think, it gives it a nice look... yay! Great job on these everyone!

Here is my first test pattern, I did a bit of altering on it. I sewed on the patches and did his neck longer. Colors used were RH SS "carrot" and TLC's DK Brown. Thank you, thank you, thank you for allowing me to test:manyheart

Now off to work on your bear pattern
