Amigurumi

Today's show and tell is about some crocheted Amigurumi that I've made. I learnt to crochet as a child thanks to the patience of my mother who taught me. I've never been able to knit  despite many people trying to teach me while telling me how easy it is, but crochet is just so straight forward. I love making small toys and crochet is just the perfect way to make them.

My favourite source of patterns is online at http://simpleartsplanet.com . They are good value and you can download pretty quickly after you pay. I can make a toy from start to finish in just a few hours- which means I actually finish them!!! 

Other plus points are that I can carry a crochet hook, wool and pattern and crochet anywhere; I can't do that with most of my hobbies!

Aren't they cute?
I think I'm going to go and find some wool to start a new one tonight!


Bye for now
