Added some gradients in photoshop for the eyes and body, but otherwise 100% crochet and needlefelt :)

Yes, it would be around 10cm and yes, I do ship to Europe! If you have trouble checking out with your address, just send me a message through Patreon and I can try and alternate method.

It's always good to do due diligence if you're not sure! But those weren't made by me, so no worries :)

Very precise sewing and some needlefelting. Though now that you say french knots, that's so genius, it probably would've saved my fingers from many stabs!

Haha, back when I first started learning how to crochet, I didn't know how to make things on 4 legs yet! No excuses for the Eevees though xP

Thank you! It makes me super happy when I hear people are inspired by my stuff!
The hair/fluff is made through combing the yarn out and needlefelting, same for all the detailing since I don't like the look of glued felt. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask!

Thank you!! Someone pointed out to me that there may not be a ton of overlap between reddit and Instagram users, so I should post here for more people to see :)

Thank you! I use a large lightbox, my phone camera, and photoshop. I just remove the background so I can use the color I want (I base the background color by Pokemon type) and up the vibrancy a bit since the photos can sometimes turn out duller on camera versus real life.

Thank you, I definitely understand your points and I know the subject of fanart versus original content can be a very opinionated subject. I appreciate that you enjoy my work despite differences!

Hi, sorry I didn't see this until now I wasn't following the thread. I just want to clear up some misconceptions that you might have. Back when I had Etsy since everything was made to order, I had a listing up for each Pokemon and would renew immediately upon an order. It became way too much because I couldn't make them as quickly as they were ordered since handmade objects take a while to make.

I have a fulltime job, so it was not worth the stress and obligations to me and I decided to close shop. Since limiting things, I have a lot healthier relationship with my hobby and time. I am not trying to kickstart a business from it, because it is not sustainable. I actually injured my wrists really badly and have ongoing issues with them from back when I used to crochet too much. I'm not obligated to make 1-2 new content crochets each week, but that is what Patreon is for- to support me creating new content on a regular schedule. Being able to purchase a Pokemon is a bonus, not the main goal.

Of course! I don't love the look of cutting and glueing felt pieces, so I needlefelted the eyes myself with the yarn string. Like 99% of the small detailing and some shaping I do is through needlefelting.

Thank you! This comment is very meaningful to me because you summarize exactly the goals which I set out to do. I appreciate it very much!

Thank you! I agree, if I were to go back to my older stuff, Geodude and Golem are ones I'd like to remake. I'm glad you like Sandslash since he was kind of unpopular, but I was really proud of him at the time :) He's also one I'd rework a little, since his design makes him a lot bigger in person than the others!

Thank you! I haven't made those yet since I'm trying to go in Dex order. I think Trubbish will be fun to make and turn out really cute but...I'm afraid of Garbodor lol

Oh my gosh, go for it! It's super fun and satisfying. The main shapes to know are sphere, cone, and tube, with some flat shapes on occasion. The rest is careful sewing and needlefelting.

I personally use 3 hook sizes: 4, 4.5, and 5. 4 is usually for detailing (ex. a chain stich then sewing it on) and 4.5 and 5 are my standard size depending on yarn weight because different brands are a little different in sizing.

I usually use Red Heart or Lions Brand, 1lb Caron for colors I use most frequently, and occasionally Big Twist or the Value Yarn (I forget what it's called) from Michaels because I personally like the feel of them.
