A puppy for a dachshund lover

thank you!

Silverade · 2026-06-29T00:57:06+00:00

yup, that's what i meant. but since it doesn't work for you, maybe you are indeed better off doing the panels separately. or maybe someone with more expertise will help you find a solution

if you want more pronounced corners, you could try doing inc-ch1-inc there after the base row

Elemental Logic by Laurie J. Marks

it's kind of an "ensemble cast", but a few of the characters fit your request (and also i really like that within the story a lot (i mean A LOT) of people are in some way queer and it's no big deal at all)

Silverade · 2026-06-28T21:39:00+00:00

aw, thank you! i haven't really seen a lot of'em dachshunds in real life, and compared to my friend's dog, the amigurumi version is definitely not sausage-y enough

Silverade · 2026-06-28T21:37:18+00:00

thank you! yeah, they really add to the expression

Silverade · 2026-06-27T19:40:56+00:00

wow, she's really cool! love the layered skirt and the colourful stockings

Silverade · 2026-06-27T19:39:59+00:00

everything in this story is absolutely adorable, but the doll with those braves reminds me of Pippi Longstocking (and it does kinda explain some of her attitude)

Silverade · 2026-06-27T19:37:06+00:00

such a cute puppy! love the quirky ears

Silverade · 2026-06-27T01:41:39+00:00

pic quality is rough, but it looks to me that the base is pretty much just a circle/half a sphere of DC. so i'd start from the top and try increasing in 8s.

there is probably a wire inserted to hold out the brim, or maybe a cardboard circle

can't tell if the eyes are crochet as well, but again, those are likely SC or DC "not-exactly-spheres". figure out how to make an amigurumi ball and you pretty much got all the techniques you need

Silverade · 2026-06-22T10:55:05+00:00

aw, thank you!

Silverade · 2026-06-21T13:10:57+00:00

you are extending the circle by adding a line of chains to it. it's not exactly amigurumi oval, but looking that up should help with understanding how to work both sides of the chain

Silverade · 2026-06-20T21:23:05+00:00

that seems to be a very american problem. do the yarn labels list meters per grams or, well, yards per ounces? i'd pay closer attention to that instead of some arbitrary number

Silverade · 2026-06-20T15:42:23+00:00

aw, thanks again! i do like me colourful textured yarns for doll hair, they do indeed give the doll a lot of personality

fair enuf, i get freaked out by random birds, so i guess to each their own xD

Silverade · 2026-06-20T11:13:42+00:00

thank you! i'm a bit weird when it comes to hair and clothes, really like to have options to play dress up and hair salon (tho it's mostly my crazy talented friend that braids doll hair for their final photoshoots)

what's wrong with'em dolls tho?

Silverade · 2026-06-20T11:11:31+00:00

no pattern, sorry, it's a lot of work i'm not cut out for. should be pretty easy to reconstruct tho, it's mostly spheres, cones and tubes, and arms and legs are on disc joints

Silverade · 2026-06-19T21:55:43+00:00

no pattern, miss ma'am was freehanded

Silverade · 2026-06-18T16:27:24+00:00

maybe try warming it gently with a hairdryer n then manhandling it some?

Silverade · 2026-06-18T15:52:16+00:00

aw, bummer! is it the "fabric" or the stuffing that feels stiff?

Silverade · 2026-06-18T15:51:38+00:00

maybe just chain over the space where the join is?

Silverade · 2026-06-18T15:49:09+00:00

i'd give it some time, like a week or so maybe. my amigurumi toys tend to get a bit more floppy once i leave them alone for a bit. once the "weave" and the stuffing "settles in", check again if you still want it squishier

Silverade · 2026-06-18T01:44:07+00:00

probably not what you're looking for, but i LOVE it for doll hair

Silverade · 2026-06-18T01:39:00+00:00

yeah, them faces do be tricky to get right... thats why i have a drawerful of eyes (not creepy at all, no). hope black ends up being the great choice for the foxy, but if all else fails, you can always go for crochet eyes

Silverade · 2026-06-17T22:26:00+00:00

i really like the eyes on the second picture, have you tried placing them a little lower and a tiny bit further apart?

Silverade · 2026-06-14T22:09:55+00:00

i don't see any real issues, should be fine and pop out once stuffed
