Old Dog. New Tricks.

I have been insanely busy lately - finishing up my last college course, moving half my crap an hour and a half away, and other things I can't divulge just yet. One thing I have been doing in my scarce free time is teaching myself to crochet.

I'm a long time knitter, and I always thought crocheting seemed so difficult. However, I've been seeing lots of adorable amigurumi animals on etsy. I decided, by hook or by crook, that I was going to learn to crochet. So I headed to Hobby Lobby and bought a crochet book aimed toward preteens, with super awesome photos from 1996. I made some awesome projects, like chain flowers and a can cozy.





I dutifully followed the patterns in order, learning how to chain, how to single crochet, how to half double crochet, and so on. Most amigurumi patterns contain nothing more complex than single crochets, so I felt confident to try some patterns. I've made two animals so far- a polar bear and a sport weight piglet. Do you think anyone would want something like this? I adore them, but I'm curious about what you, dear reader, thing. Please let me know in the comments!
