April 24th, 2011: This tiny giraffe, named Stanley Winston by a friend of mine, is about half the height of Little Raffie! Stanley has a habit of hiding in purses, pockets, and in your hair just so he can tag along wherever you go. He’s quite loving and doesn’t hesitate to smother you (or your cat) with lots of kisses. :)

December 2011: This was the first Stanley Winston I ever crocheted and my favorite.  Because I never write down patterns and because my techniques change so much over time, it’s tough to replicate something I made several months ago.  I’ve tried over and over to replicate his proportions, but it just never works out the same.  Oh well. :/  Each new one is unique and has a personality of its own! Maybe I should start giving different names to every new giraffe I add to the Winston family. :P

Something I noticed when looking back through these photos is that I had not yet learned the jogless color change technique (you’ll notice this if you look at Stanley’s leg in the photo with the blue background).  The color change from brown to yellow was abrupt and unappealing.  Thanks to NeedleNoodles’ tutorial, I learned something new and improved my amigurumi animals!
