| Amigurumi Lion Reviewed by Rebecca Boudin on 2009-09-19 |

| This little lion was too cute NOT to make. He was a very quick project. The crocheting itself was very easy, definitely right up a beginner's alley. However, my only complaint was working with the Fun Fur. This was the first time I've used it and I found it incredibly difficult to crochet with it. Everything was so furry, it was hard to see my loops on the hook and once I did finish, I had to go through with a needle and pull a lot of the fur up that got wrapped around the actual stitching. So, that aspect of this project was a little difficult, but overall, worth it to achieve such a cute look.
