a rug hook commission for @stickynotebirds! :O (who also drew the original sketch/design and I tweaked it a little bit)

I love when I see posts like "Share how many crochet WIPs you currently have! I have 5, it's so many!"

Like, girl, I have unfinished projects from over a decade ago that I refuse to frog on the off chance I decide to finish them. I've found years-old projects I forgot I even started and will impulsively just finish it on the spot. I've started three different projects in the last 2 months, including one I started yesterday, that I already know I may or may not finish within the year depending on motivation.

The number of WIPs I have is infinite.

ear

The ears are definitely the part of the head that I've been dreading the most, because I've always struggled to make them work. I was never 100% satisfied with the ear results on past heads, so this time I'm trying a different method. It's based on TinnatuPaws's ear patterns, not actually printing and using any of them directly because I wanted that front border to have a slightly different shape, but taking the general method/idea. Took a couple hours to put together a working pattern because I only had a vague idea of what I was doing, and I guess the final look is pretty similar to TinnatuPaws's canine ear design anyways so perhaps it would've been easier to just use that one directly but w/e too late now. I think it turned out pretty alright, but of course the real test will come once I actually put fur on it.

These ears also probably look a tad on the large side for a standard housecat--that was intentional; I'm a bit worried about this head base being a bit too small compared to the other parts of the suit so I'm gonna try compensating by exaggerating the ears, head floof, and cheek floofs a bit. This base already has proportionally very large eyes so I think I can get away with it. Fingers crossed!

I did try on my previous head with the new body the other day to get a better idea of the size ratio and it looked alright, though while the base for my previous head is similar in size to this new one, I do think it might be sliiiiiightly larger overall, even accounting for the fact that it has fur and this one doesn't yet. Hopefully the difference won't be all that significant and I won't be walking around with a comically tiny head, but as with the ear method, the real test won't be till I actually fur it. So....we shall see.

updates! we're on the other side of my body & the fabric now bc i sewed.... all my seams the wrong way round (i SWEAR im competent at this)

not many changes with the front! i fixed the strap position & i think im happy with it now. i am looking at that stomacher size & im thinking it looks a little narrow? im thinking in my next round of adjustments im going to fold over the robe line another cm at least- the neckline could stand to be wider anyway.

most of the changes are to the back! the fit along the seam is MUCH better now :) that was the main thing i think actually succeeded.... the rest still needs work.

im happier with where the strap seam hits on the body, but i think the angle is too steep & it needs to be back further up the armhole.

i also lowered the back neck to line up with where the strap met it, but i think its lower than i want, so instead im going to lift it up another inch & change how the strap meets it instead.

and last thing is that i thinkkkkk the armhole is too low at the bottom so im going to add more there- i figure i can always trim it away if i dont like it anyway ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i think thats all!!!! honestly, its pretty close to how i want it, at least in terms of fit. im going to go look at a bunch of examples and see if theres anything that needs changing visually, but i think im ready to cut into my real lining fabric!
