I’m making an Amigurumi
In you have read my about me page you will know that I love to knit and crochet. A couple of months ago I found out that two friends of mine are pregnant so I decided to make them baby blankets and amigurumi dolls as gifts. I was very fortunate to run across a pattern for these wonderful Japanese inspired creatures at CrochetMe a while back. Amigurumi are knitted or crocheted stuffed dolls that usually have a large head in proportion to their body and are just adorable. You can use your imagination to create anything that you want….
Last year I made my hubby a Baseball Dude which is proudly displayed in his office bookcase….
And now I am working on an elephant to go with the baby blanket that I just completed. I have decided to make a rattle out of the toy by inserting a hollow plastic egg filled with beads into the body. Here is the work in progress….
I’ll be sure to post a photo of it when it’s complete….

Shane, can I use your “Baseball Dude” photo on the SJ Giants Fans site? I don’t know where just yet, but I will find it a good home.
Too cute.
