Arctica the Crochet Glaceon Plush

Good day, Happy November, and holy Glameow, I can' believe this month is nearly over. 

My photo angles are terrible, I know, but I can't cut out certain parts of the background without making the picture blurry. My downfall will always be my photography, since I don't have proper equipment or location. Props to those who get awesome photos of their projects.

In addition to Christmas commissions and regular commissions, I was practicing different hooks. I started crocheting with a K hook almost two years ago, and over time managed to get myself down to a G. Surprisingly, I have been able to surpass discomfort and have been practicing with an E hook, just to see what the outcome would be. I like how it gets the stitches clean and tight, but it hurts my wrists a lot more. Sometimes I think I am gripping the hook too tightly, thinking it will try and get away from me if I let my guard down, ha ha.

I have made a few extra plushes with this "hook practice" and this Glaceon is one of the extras I have laying around. I have more, but it will have to stop raining before I can get photos of them. 

Arctica is 10 inches long and about 4 inches tall. I am still getting used to making things this small, but with the use of an E hook, I managed to pull off a clean petite Pokemon, I think. I felt like making a Glaceon because of winter (obviously) and I needed some redemption, given the train wreck I produced in the early days of Artisan's Shadow. I think the commissioner was happy, but whenever I think about my greenhorn projects, I can't help but shudder. 

As always, thanks for looking!
