I've recently become quite obsessed with amigurumi ever since I crocheted a teddy for my nephew and helped a friend crochet one too. And while she was busy crocheting and I was directing I made this little fellow and he took a selfie. Just because I had spare yarn and I could! I know he's pointless - what am I going to do with a mini-mouse toy? - but he's so adorable.
He got quite a reaction on facebook, so much so that I've since made a robin as a birthday present for a friend (she's already received it so it's OK to post here) and am in the process of making a pony (pics coming soon)! Maybe I'll just start my own little menagerie of woolly animals and surround myself with cuteness?
I think the reason I got into crocheting and knitting presents was I wanted to be able to give something personal and unique that I had spent time and thought into putting together. I know that I would love to receive something like that. And I never seem to be able to find what I want in the shops. I made a teddy bear a while back for my nephew as well as a blanket and have crocheted and knitted several blankets and scarves since then!
