I've been in a crafting rut lately. Even Marshall's been more crafty. Look at this awesome cardboard house he made for Q! I'll have to decorate it one of these days...
Anyway, I really wanted to learn to knit. My pal Lauren learned to knit really fast and now makes these super cute creatures (check out her Etsy shop here). So, long story short I gave up...Anyway, since I already know how to crochet I decided I wanted to try making amigurumi (the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures). Here is my first attempt.
Here is the tutorial from Very Berry Handmade if you are interested in trying to make your very own. It was pretty easy and fast to crochet and the instructions were easy to follow.
Awww, cute! I love how you stuck it up in a tree! :) I may have to use that idea for my monsters! ;) I'll teach you how to knit... Once I make it out to craft day. Tuesday should work for us, so I'll bring stuff with me then! :) But if you want to try again before then, here is how I learned: http://www.makeit-loveit.com/2008/11/learn-to-knit-mini-series.html
