Aww, he is just adorable.... the hubby keeps looking over my shoulder at what you guys are doing and nudging me and saying "why don't you do that?" I told him that its a special kind of crochet, and one day I might get around to doing it.... but i'll leave it to all you talented lot for the time being!!

Well done!! :T

I'm still here. I crocheted a few amigurumis but I have not yet sew them together so I got nothing to show

nuttybabe

greenpixey - thanks again for tell me what front and back loops where. who'd have though crochet was so complicated! :P

i have to sew stuff together as its made. i am so impatient!

i have got a head and a body of a teddy but its so small i dont like it! i only started it cos it looked like artydolls one in the picture!! but sadly it is not!!! its tiny! might use it for a baby sock monkey at some point!

I gave away the scrubbie to my mate and she loves it (i made 2 and used mine today - yay). i also saw her son wearing it as a bracelet this afternoon as well!!!!!!!!!!!! :P
