Amigurumi World

For my birthday Shannon got me an amigurumi book. I have made 4 things from it so far.


I realized after making a doggie and his puppy that I was crocheting wrong. So I watched some really good YouTube videos and learned how from Aunt Esther.

Here is the first one...


And here is the second one...


There may be more, but I just needed this much. They helped a bunch. Then I made an octopus and a penguin. However, I am still not doing it right because my penguin is about 12" tall and the pattern says he will be about 7". Hmm, mayhaps I'm not crocheting tight enough? I am usign the recommended hook size and have the right number of rows/stitches.

The penguin is adorable! I'll have to get some pics up later.

Number 3

I believe this is my third item. This is also crocheted, turned out a bit neater than my previous attempt. I used an entire skein of super soft, awesome colored yarn and knit me one of my still-favorite scarves.

The Second Thing

This was my first attempt to crochet. Mom showed Jayme and I how over Christmas break. My efforts resulted in a short, K-State themed scarf. Jayme's resulted in a torn block of crocheting.
