amigurumi

I love all of the amigurumi animals I see, but my crocheting skills are limited. Plus I don't really enjoy it, so I don't see them improving in the near future...

Luckily, I have a source. Well, several, since I've made a few etsy purchases :). But, closer to home, my little sister Camie can whip things out. She's a crafting monster when she's not working on her wildlife management master's. Like finishing a hat for Marian in 1/2 hour. Our grandpa watched the whole thing in amazement. I sent her an owl pattern link and a hedgehog hint, and when we came to visit last week, she showed up with a fuzzy hedgie and did the owl while we talked. I trimmed the hedgie's face down and added hematite beads for eyes, because that's what I had on hand. I think I might like something bigger, but I do like him so far. Groovy owl eyes, eh? How lovely to be home and have my mom's impressive button stash to raid...
