Amigurumi Guy Reviewed by Jennifer G. Aszling on 2010-01-29
I've made seven of these guys, and am about to make 2 more. The first ones were Xmas presents for my grandnephews and were hits. Sam, who is very into creatures, asked me to make him another and was VERY specific about color. So I made Sam's and requests for two more of those followed. Now I'm making some for Florida grandnephews in their school colors. Little boys LOVE these. They have given them all some imaginative names. I had a little trouble finding the safety eyes but got a source on eBay, and for all my years of knitting and crocheting, I still get uptight when it's time to make the mouth. !!
