Amigurumi is too cute to stop!!
Really, I simply can’t stop! I have made a cute little amigurumi every day this week… a fortune cookie, a ruby -man, a raindrop and a bubble (don’t ask, just a small blue ball with a face) – seriously with a little imagination and love these things take on a life of their own! All of these were impromptu gifts and all were really well received!!
What’s more, it is seriously giving my maths brain a workout! I wonder if I might have paid more attention to Mrs Webb in maths class if she had told me that a sound understanding of numbers would help me with the increase and decrease sequences of creating uber-cute little crochet folk?!!
Now I have managed to come to grips with shaping in the round I’m dreaming in crochet – imagine a world where everything was as cute as these little beauties?? That’s not to say I’m turning my back on knitting – not a chance. There is more than enough love to share between knit and crochet, and the two seem work in harmony together...or is that just yet another excuse to buy more yarn and have even more projects on the go?!
Mmmhhh before crochet an entire planet (read: universe!) of kookie diddy chaps I probably should finish up the couple of designs I have started for LK and get some charting done for the Ultimate Mittens that I have been dreaming of and am desperate to have this winter!
