You can say it! "ah-mee-gah-roo-mee" - see? It's easy! Amigurumi are super-cute little crochet animals, originally made popular in Japan and now making their mark here in the states. I don't even crochet (well, I've tried and I find it really hard to keep the yarn on the hook) and they are tempting me to create them; they're just so cute! If you or someone you know has a favorite animal there is a scrumptious amigurumi pattern for it in one of our books - we have several - and guaranteed it will be saccharine sweet and simply impossible to resist. If you're not into darling little creatures, try making a hamburger or cookies or a mug of tea... some look pretty normal, while others have big, googley eyes and funny, endearing smiles. I'm trying to be strong, but in the long run, I will be unable to resist the syrupy charm of these funky creations and eventually I will cave and pick up the dreaded crochet hook again.
