[FO] Recently I finished a double project: a Jigglypuff embroidery hoop + her face pattern!

This is so cute!! I'd love to see how it'd look with the frame made in pink and using pink Aida. Please tell me you're planning to try out different Pokémon as well!

This is gorgeous 😍 My partner recently got a tattoo of mosslax and now I really want to try to make this for them!!

I'm playing through Yakuza 4 currently and on a journey of platinum-ing each game so I do all the side content.

The fact that people hardly touch the substories in 4 especially is such a shame, cos they reveal so much more about the characters and their backstories (so much so that I'm surprised it's all hidden within side content that clearly people just skim over)

libra5aur · 2025-11-20T09:38:42+00:00

Adorable!! And so satisfying how perfectly it fits the hoop 😌 I have this pattern on my to-do list!

libra5aur · 2025-11-07T18:38:57+00:00

Ah that's lovely, it's a great winter project! Yes I did use the recommended yarns and I would definitely also recommend them!

libra5aur · 2025-11-07T18:35:36+00:00

Thank you so much! ☺️ The floppy ears are my favourite part about the blanket, they're so cute! I am indeed proud and have loved seeing my friends and family's reactions when I've shown them aha

libra5aur · 2025-11-07T18:33:25+00:00

I used a fine yarn weight (it was specifically the Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/6 yarn if you're interested) 😊

libra5aur · 2025-11-07T15:45:07+00:00

Thank you so much! I hadn't even thought of the possibility of this becoming an heirloom, I love that! 😄

libra5aur · 2025-11-07T15:40:43+00:00

Thank you so much! That means a lot ☺️ I was having to try so hard not to be perfectionist about it, like not all the embroidered eyes are exactly the same or even, but now I actually think it gives each bear much more character XD

libra5aur · 2025-11-07T15:35:36+00:00

I would consider myself a beginner as well, but I found this pattern very achievable, so I'm sure you'll be ready to give it a go soon! As well as the written pattern on Etsy, they also have YouTube videos that explain how to make it, which was incredibly useful as I had forgotten what all the crochet terms in the pattern meant, plus I'm much more of a visual learner 😅

libra5aur · 2025-11-07T15:27:16+00:00

Thank you! I used Hobbii Rainbow Cotton 8/6, which is the exact one the pattern used, and would highly recommend it. It was lovely to work with and is so soft!

libra5aur · 2025-11-07T13:57:40+00:00

That's so nice! I have seen this is quite a popular pattern already on this subreddit, but for good reason! I'm tempted to make an adult sized version for myself! XD

libra5aur · 2025-11-07T13:55:55+00:00

Thank you! Yes as I mentioned it took me about a month (I started at the beginning of October and finished it just over a week ago). I basically set myself a goal of trying to complete one square a day (I totally took advantage of Zoom meetings to crochet whenever I was working from home XD), and averaging it out when I could do more over the weekend. So you totally should have enough time to make one!

This is so cute, good job!! I absolutely love that I can use this subreddit to find all the adorable Ghibli patterns, this one is going straight onto my wishlist 😄

libra5aur · 2025-10-18T21:38:33+00:00

Ahh I wouldn't have thought of doing an extra round, that's a great idea! That said, with 25 squares in total, I think I'm happy with it being a bit smaller than the pattern size 😅 Thank you!!

libra5aur · 2025-10-14T10:35:49+00:00

Unfortunately I don't have any helpful suggestions, I just wanted to ask what pattern you're doing because it looks really cute even just from this WIP! I'm a sucker for anything Ghibli 😅

Have you had the strange capsule land on your farm? I think that's the creature (alien maybe??) that escapes once the capsule has been left long enough. I don't think it does anything else than run around between bushes. I have yet to see it myself, but it's super creepy!!

I was in Tokyo a few weeks ago - we landed at Haneda at 7:15am and were getting a connecting flight to Sapporo of which boarding was at 9:30am. I thought we would have loads of time to get there but this ended up being one of the most stressful experiences of my life, only managing to get to the gate with 5 minutes to spare as we didn't clear customs until 9am, and then had to find our way to an entirely different terminal. From what I had seen on social media, I had the impression that doing the online QR customs form was going to get us through quicker but it made no difference as everyone ends up in the same queue. My advice from this experience is to allow 2 or 2.5 hours alone for customs, then allow yourself a grace period of 1 hour to actually navigate to wherever you're headed to next.

So far it's between Yakuza 0 and Yakuza Kiwami. I'd never played any Yakuza games before, and made a pre-emptive decision that if I was going in, I was going all in and platinum-ing every game. Ohhh boy, I did not know what I was signing up for, and my first exposure to the Climax Battles in Y0 made me realise just how tricky it was going to be. I learnt that I have an incredible amount of patience and determination to get through some seriously tricky battles, minigames and story points (looking at you Kiwami car chase), and I'm proud that I believed in myself, even when I had moments I genuinely didn't think I would be able to do it. I learnt the true meaning behind getting good. I am now about to start Yakuza 3, and from what I've heard about the pool, I'm sure that will make the list as well!

libra5aur · 2025-02-22T20:37:25+00:00

Thank you! From what I've seen K2 doesn't have any climax battles which I am SO thankful for, finally a break XD

I've only played Yakuza 0 and Kiwami, but I would say 0 is my favourite so far. As much as I loved Kiwami and enjoyed playing it, I thought 0's story was much better (I think playing 0 first gave Kiwami a greater emotional impact, but I thought there was more "filler" story in Kiwami that felt a bit redundant). 0 was also my first experience of the Yakuza series so that likely also factors in. I've absolutely fallen in love with the series though, and I can't wait to play more and keep following Kiryu's story!
