A Wedding Amigurumi

I had to wait too long to be able to post this one! Now, I have a backlog! ;-) I made this one for my sister Elizabeth who just married the love of her life, Billy! The pattern was from LionBrand Yarn. Funny story, I made the peas first (the Billy pea is taller since Billy is so tall), then started on the pod. The yarn that I had was WAY too small and no amount of modifying was going to make it work, so I had to search high and low for a yarn that would work. I found some perfect yarn in a set of 3 complementing greens. Kind of wish I had found that set before I started in the first place, but not much good wishing for that now. Anyways, in the time that I spent searching for the new yarn, I forgot where I put the peas a number of times. As I made the pod from the new yarn, I made several trips up and down our stairs and always kept the peas and pod-in-progress together so I would not have that problem again. At one point, I realized that I had only 1 pea with me. I searched EVERYWHERE, but I could not find the "Elizabeth" pea!! I was panicking that I would have to redo a pea, then debated redoing both so I could use some of my new colors. After a couple of days of searching, I finally found the pea under a couch cushion. I was never happier to find a small green ball! Once the pod was finished, I added the accessories (the top hat includes a 1 Euro cent in the top since I kind of like that little tradition and the colored roses are the main wedding color, which was a nice coincidence). I haven't had much (ok, any) experience embroidering faces with yarn, so I had to redo Billy's face a couple of times. I finally got it to look pretty good. I intentionally left Elizabeth's eyes slanted because she has the type of eyes that disappear when she smiles, and I knew she would be doing a lot of smiling that day. :-) All in all, I think they turned out rather well.
