Amigurumi Alien Reviewed by Ruth Hobbs on 2010-01-30
I had my son's 1st birthday party last week - all space themed. For the prizes I crocheted a bunch of these little guys and they were a BIG hit. Even a few of the adults begged to take one home. They took me about 1 1/2 - 2 hrs each, but these were the first amigurumis I've ever made, so it may be quicker for some.
