Thanks greenpixie. He's perfect!

No probs. If you need any help with the amigurumis just ask I got loads of experience. Here is some of the stuff I've done in the past
Normal crochet on the other hand is what I cant do...but I'm here to learn

Hi all, I don't know if anyone has posted this already - apologies in advance - but I picked up today a kit for 99p - called 'The Art of Crotchet' it comes complete with 4mm crotchet hook, redcurrent yarn and biscuit practise yarn as well as a magazine and a dvd with easy to follow step by step instructions. I've been wanting to learn to crotchet and this is so cheap I couldn't help but snap it up. In the 2nd issue it will have another ball of pink wool along with a ring binder to store all your magazines etc... and the usual price after that will be £2.99...

Just thought i'd let everyone know and to check there local newsagents..... even if you get the first one or 2 it's well worth it for 99p for the first one anyhoo

hi everyone

my god i didn't think id find it this hard to crochet, maybe im having trouble cos im a leftie. i can do the chain and im now trying the single corchet stitch but im finding it harder than what i thought but im just gona keep on practising and practising til i get it right. I think my main problem is with the tension of the wool as my stictches all seem to be completely different sizes.

How long did it take everyone else to learn?

Greenpixey - They are amazing! I adore the girl and her frog. The hello Kitty is so so cute and I'm loving the creepy heart too. My eldest would love that one (in fact both my girls - and me would love them all)
You are so talented
You do know that you are now the nominated amigurumis guru of the board now, don't you?

Hi all,

Can I join please, I've got a horrid cold and went to buy some flu capsules earlier and treated myself to the art of crochet to cheer myself up

Just about to watch the dvd... so has anyone subscribed?

I'm thinking I'll subscribe so I can get the free gifts and then stop after the 3rd delivery unless I get addicted or forget to cancel

Hopefully I'll pick up some tips on this thread cos I'm a complete beginner, here goes...

Rnd 2: 2sc in each sc around (6)
Rnd 3: sc in next sc, 2sc in next sc around x3 (9)
Rnd 4: sc in next 2sc, 2sc in next sc around x3 (12)
Rnd 5: sc in next 3sc, 2sc in next sc around x3 (15)
Rnd 6: sc in next 4sc, 2 sc in next sc around x3 (18)
