Amigurumi

As a child I was always freaked out by knitted toys...still am if truth be told. Its something about their huge lifeless, vacant forms and the knowledge that they are probably stuffed with years-worth of old ladies' tights that does it!

However amigurumi are something different. They are very cute and so small there's no room to stuff even the leg of a pair of tights in them. Phew!

They are little crocheted creatures that, with skill, can be formed into many different shapes, small enough to be grasped round the middle by a small fist and squeezed.

 Here are a couple of mine...more another day.
