Pluto Christmas Ornament
Christmas is less than a month away! This past month or so I lost my crojo (“combination of crochet skills and enthusiasm with mojo, an intangible, magic power that includes creative inspiration” – Underground Crafter). It was not my first that happen to me, and I believe it happens quite often to creators. This was my second time that happened…last time when it happened it took me couple months to pick up my hooks. Because it was holiday season, this time it took me shorter time to recover. All these holiday spirit I’m seeing on social media (and I was somewhat away from social media as well) helped me wanna make something.
That something turned my attention to my Disney Christmas Ornament series! So next one up is Pluto!

Compare to other characters, Pluto has fairly simple look. Body, ears, and collar. That’s it. Challenge for this one was getting the shape I want for the ears and getting straight edge for collar. Many trials and errors, I got the look I love!

Looking by itself is cute too, but putting next to his buddy Mickey looks much more adorable!
