I know I definitely want to crochet this great white the moment I set my eyes on the free pattern. I come across it at the perfect time as I am sure it will make a lovely Christmas present for my significant other. In case you have not noticed, my blog is known as love-the-jaws.
Initially I use a pair of 12mm safety eyes (bought from Daiso during one of my shopping trips) for my shark as you can see in some of the pictures below. That was the worst case scenario in the event the safety eyes I ordered online cannot reach me in time. I am hopeful though to receive my package of 6-12mm safety eyes despite my festive season purchase, and true enough, the small parcel was delivered right to my doorstep last night. An extremely late night delivery but nevertheless, delivered in good time. I quickly got down to work, swop the eyes for a 7mm pair, stuff it and sew up the jaws. I also removed the dorsal fin which was not well sewn previously and resewed it to my satisfaction this time round. If you see carefully, you can tell that I have sewn the dorsal fin slightly after the pectoral fins, not as per the free pattern.
At the moment, this amigurumi jaws is sitting nicely wrapped up under the Christmas tree. I am so excited; I cannot wait to see it being unwrapped.
