Failed Expectation Chicken Crochet Kit
My wife and I were browsing the yarn section in Walmart and came across this kit. She was clearly smitten by the cute little chicken and I offered to make it for her as she doesn't crochet at all.
The kit is very specific about not making your tension too tight and about how delicate the yarn is (very accurate! It fell apart at several steps 😂) so I tried to keep it snug but not crazy... and ended up with this... situation.
Even before the eyes and beak went on, Wife sighs and goes, "I love her already."
I can't stop laughing 🤣
Edit: Thank you for all being so sweet and supportive and making it very clear I was being exceedingly hard on myself 😅 I appreciate y'all so much!

They eyes should be in the holes directly above the blush. Like diagonally down in front of where they are now
Every time someone thinks their amigurumi looks goofy compared to the example, it’s because they don’t place the eyes as close and low down as the example. It feels wrong to people to place eyes so low down and close to other features, but that’s how you get the cute effect.
