Amigurumi

I like crafting. Crocheting specifically.

Recently I was at my friends house and she showed me these wonderful projects that she had been working on. They were the most adorable animals made from crochet. Of course, I had to look them up.
It seems that the original idea was Japanese and the designs were meant to be knit. Some enterprising woman, created all these wonderful crochet designs that are well...wonderful! I bought a few books from Amazon, and brought them with me (along with a small yarn stash) to AZ with me.
So far, I have made a cupcake, a cup of coffee, a monkey, and an elephant. They really are easy, taking a few hours each for the first run through of the design, and are going to make wonderful gifts!

I'm pretty excited about that.

I am going to take them to the hospital with me so that I can work on them while Dad is in surgery. I hope I can get at least one more design done to add to my collection.

I love finding new ways to be creative!
