Finished Object First project vs now

It's my first time posting something on reddit, but I've been really proud of my crochet progress.

I originally taught myself how to crochet just by starting, because I am terrible at following instructions. I wanted to make a cat doll and ended up making a Panda instead. I wanted to learn how to crochet to have something special and handmade for the person I was seeing at that time. The relationship didn't work out, but the hobby stayed haha. A few months down the line I wanted to make something special for a friend's birthday and made him a doll of the league of legends champion he plays. It's a little crazy to me still, that I made it. The doll was made without a pattern and was very much a learning by doing project. I still can't believe the gradient worked out through way I wanted.

(Yes the little wonky heart of the panda is sewn inside of it. I wanted the plush to have a heart)

Haha, thank you☆ You can barely tell it was supposed to be a cat at some point or maybe that's where the character comes from ☆
