The making of Ilo Milo

It has been awhile that I never write. Finally I'm back here again. I just got a special order recently. A crochet fans who gonna have a birthday party and ask to get a dozen of Ilo Milo from me. It is a really rush order, I've actually stop selling the crocheted finished doll due to constraint of time, but to some extent, I feel like helping out when somebody asked so politely and I know I should just do it to test my limitation too.

Before I really promised to do so, I do actually checked on my yarn to make sure that I do have enough supplies. When I almost finished, I'm so afraid that I run out of that color of yarn.


I started with the body and face first, when I finished crocheted the first body, I was like, mm....there's another 11 body to go, way to go. After 2 to 3 days, I finally finished all the bodies. Now, there are 24 hands that I need to make. OMG, is 24!!! But I still get through it.

Above is the so called "hands"


Day by day, and I almost run out of time, I'm too worried that I can't sent in the parcel on time. I thought I can finished it within the time frame that I've set, but I'm wrong, these really need lots of time, it is not as simple as it seems. 

When I finished the 24 hands and there are 24 legs need to be done too!!! hahaha. Still, I'm of course able to complete it. After that I start stuffing the fiberfill into the crocheted hands and legs, then sewing on both hands and legs to the body. I'm so so so happy that I finally done everything then I found out that there're two extra legs unclaimed. ehh....I hope I don't missed it in any one of the dolls that I've sent to the buyer.


The extra "legs"

I finally sent!!!  The shipping cost, cost me really something. I hope it can reached the buyer on time. It is all about reputation now.  =)
