Friends of the needles, good Monday to all of you ! The final stretch, at least for me, of this dizzying and eccentric year, brought the last challenge and with it, several dilemmas. I hope you like today's post and you won't be surprised by the amount of changes that can happen while you are working on your project.

Amigas de las agujas, ¡buen lunes a todas ! La recta final, al menos para mí, de este año vertiginoso y excéntrico, trajo el último desafío y con él, plantea varios dilemas. Espero que les guste el post del día de hoy y no les sorprenda la cantidad de cambios que pueden suceder mientras una realiza su proyecto.
It starts, as always, with someone who decided to make a Christmas gift late. She asked me for an amigurumi that I had never made before, I accepted the challenge and found a pattern worth following. The surprise didn't take long to show, some turns were not written, others were wrong, and some parts were absent of explanation. Still, I plunged into the challenge.

Comienza, como siempre, con alguien que decidió tarde un regalo navideño. Me solicitó un amigurumi que yo no había realizado nunca, acepté el desafío y encontré un patrón digno de seguir. La sorpresa no tardó en hacerse notar, algunas vueltas no estaban escritas, otras estaban mal, y algunas partes estaban ausentes de explicación. Aún así, me sumergí en el desafío.
Matching the time of confection and delivery time, the deadline was getting shorter, but I decided to focus on the realization, to try to enjoy it even if it was unlikely. Not only because of the making, but also because in order to sell a product, the person who receives it must also be satisfied, so it was not going to be a simple matter.

Congeniando tiempos de confección y tiempo de entrega, el plazo se acortaba, pero decidí enfocarme en la realización, tratar de disfrutarlo aunque fuese algo poco probable. No sólo por la confección, sino porque para vender un producto también quien lo recibe debe estar conforme, no iba a ser simple la cuestión.
The head had some points that seemed excessive, so I tried changing some things, because ingenuity is the order of the day. I kept getting surprises, it wasn't going to look right, so I undid and went back to knitting according to the pattern. This happened to me also with the clothes, at least it leaves me calm that I was not going to have to buy yarn, I had all the colors for its realization.

La cabeza tenía algunos puntos que me parecían excesivos, así que probé cambiando algunas cosas, pues el ingenio está a la orden del día. Seguía recibiendo sorpresas, no iba a quedar bien, así que deshice y volví a tejer según el patrón. Esto me pasó también con la ropa, al menos me deja tranquila que no iba a tener que comprar hilados, tenía todos los colores para su realización.
I thought a lot during the process, I always try to do it, believing in the person who receives it, thinking that he/she likes it, making an effort in details that achieve a final amigurumi that he/she wants to see every day.

Pensé mucho durante el proceso, siempre trato de hacerlo, creyendo en quien lo reciba, pensando en que le guste, esforzándome en detalles que logren un amigurumi final que desee ver cada día.
It may not seem like much, but even some amigurumi that has been a birthday gift, when I see it on my friends' desk, I love to know that somehow, it decorates the place and it warms my soul, knowing that they enjoy having them near. It is a way to receive affection without having to use communication, haha. Just seeing them gives me joy, they have a home where they are welcomed with open arms. And I say 'it seems like a small thing' because it's not something they do to make me happy, it just makes me happy, because it does.

Puede parecer poca cosa, pero hasta algún amigurumi que ha sido regalo de cumpleaños, cuando lo veo en el escritorio de mis amigos, me encanta saber que de alguna forma, decora el lugar y a mi me abriga el alma, saber que disfrutan tenerlos cerca. Es una manera de recibir cariño sin tener que usar la comunicación, jaja. Solo verlos me da alegría, tienen un hogar donde son recibidos con los brazos abiertos. Y digo que 'parece poca cosa' porque no es algo que hagan para alegrarme, solo me alegra a mi, porque si.
Continuing with the making of Goku, luckily the colors are already distinctive by themselves, that wasn't going to be a problem, but the clothing was a bit weird, I wanted it to look coherent and I was getting some gaps, but I was able to cover it with the blue belt, it was solved in a good way, let's say.

Continuando con la confección de Goku, por suerte los colores ya son distintivos por sí mismos, eso no iba a ser un problema, pero la ropa era algo rara, quería que resultara coherente y a mi me estaban quedando algunos huecos, pero pude taparlo con el cinto azul, se resolvió de buena manera, digamos.
I can't think of finishing the post without talking about the hair, the triangles of Goku's extravagant hairstyle were not easy. In other words, making them was simple but attaching them was not. I got tired of filling everything with pins and I sweated while sewing them. It was a big challenge and it took me a long time to place them and make them acceptable, I don't mind having given them too much time to turn out well, the fear was to pay too much attention to them and still not achieve the desired result.

No puedo pensar en terminar el post sin hablarles del pelo, los triángulos del peinado extravagante que tiene Goku no fueron fáciles. En otras palabras, hacerlos fue sencillo pero colocarlos no. Me cansé de llenar todo de alfileres y sude mientras los cosía. Fue un gran desafío y tardé mucho en ubicarlos y que fueran aceptables, no me molesta haberles dado tiempo de más para que resulten bien, el miedo era prestarles demasiada atención y aún así no lograr el resultado buscado.
When the head was finished and without pins, and the body ready, I did the final sewing, I added the body to the head, in that step I took my time so I didn't have to undo it and I sewed firmly in the points that gave it the best possible firmness.

Cuando la cabeza estuvo terminada y sin alfileres, y el cuerpo listo, hice la costura final, añadí el cuerpo a la cabeza, en ese paso me tomé mi tiempo para no tener que deshacerlo y cosí bien firme en los puntos que le dieron la mayor firmeza posible.
Now, once everything was sewn and finished, the details, the logo on the T-shirt, the little bows on the boots, and a little more were the details that closed this amigurumi, I took pictures, perfumed and placed it inside a transparent bag, and then placed it in its final bag, and delivered it to the person who ordered it, for me, and I hope for the person who will receive it in a few days. Of course, another happy ending, for the person who ordered it, for me, and hopefully for the person who will receive it in a few days. But I always find it remarkable the time and thought that goes into the crafts, the handwork that incorporates art and crafting for someone. I wish we could value that again, that someone has spent hours thinking, designing, and making this object, which you now hold in your hands and there you carry too, a part of the artisan's heart.

Ahora, una vez todo estuvo cosido y terminado, los detalles, el logo de la camiseta, los moñitos de las botas, y poco más fueron los detalles que cerraron este amigurumi, tomé fotos, perfumé y coloqué dentro de una bolsita transparente, para luego colocarlo en su bolsita final, y entregarlo. Claro, otro final feliz, para la persona que lo pidió, para mí, y espero que para quien lo reciba en unos días. Pero siempre me resulta destacable el tiempo y el pensamiento que llevan las artesanías, el trabajo manual que incorpora arte y hechura para alguien. Ojalá pudiéramos volver a valorar eso, que alguien haya pasado horas pensando, diseñando, y haciendo este objeto, que ahora tienes en tus manos y ahí llevas también, una parte del corazón del artesano.
I send you a warm hug and thanks to the community that has supported me since my beginnings, I hope this year that is ending has had for all of you a great impact on your confections and that the coming year will be full of projects too!
