Not knittin'

But crochet! I recently taught myself crochet, then discovered the Japanese art of "amigurumi," which are very cute crocheted animals or toys. I made the mistake of calling the kids over to the computer and showing them photos of various amigurumi toys, and they began putting in their orders. Yesterday I decided to give one a try: a cute little round penguin. It only took me a couple of hours, and that was with LOTS of do-overs and mistakes. I learned a lot from the attempt, and I can't wait to make more things! This little guy is named Ollie, because he just looks like a big letter O to me. Click here to learn more about amigurumi!
