Feb 12, 2012.
I’m adding another old post to my new Tumblr! :) This was the amigurumi duck that I designed/crocheted for my friend’s baby shower back in October of 2011. He’s about 6” tall, with tiny wings and big feet. :P I surprised her by hiding my creation in a “Duck Parfait” made with layers of blue towels and other bath supplies. The full-length version of this post can be found on my blogspot.
Hope you like him! <3 Josephine
January 15, 2012. Work-in-progress pt. 2:
After the initial shock of seeing the crocheted catastrophe, Millie and Mumbles decided to take action.
It looks like they borrowed my crochet hook and yarn to help fix Nibbles! How sweet of them. <3 That frees up my schedule to work on new amigurumi projects. :)
Will they be able to sew him up properly?
April 2011: These are a couple of work-in-progress photos of two customized amigurumi bunnies I was making for a former high school teacher of mine. She wanted twin Easter bunnies with long legs and arms, but I thought I’d play around with the idea of limbless bunnies before I finished crocheting them. :P
From my December 2011 perspective: If I made these bunnies again, I’d definitely try this design (limbless, with ears leaning toward one side). It might have trouble standing, but at least it would be really cute. :)
April 2011: This amigurumi baby bear may only be 6” tall, but he is jam-packed with love! I worked on him for hours and hours, making and remaking his limbs to fit the cute design in my head. :)
From my December 2011 perspective: I used felt and buttons for eyes when I was learning how to crochet animals because I had not yet heard about the magic of SAFETY EYES! Once I learned of those, I never went back to felt and buttons again (unless I chose to do so intentionally for a design). Safety eyes changed my life. Hahaha. :P
April 2011: I’ve crocheted another baby giraffe! This is Little Raffie, and he is slightly different from his brother. As I’m getting the hang of amigurumi, I’ve been having a lot of fun making these guys. :)
From my December 2011 perspective: When comparing my new amigurumi to these older ones, switching to a smaller hook and tighter tension made a HUGE difference.

Made in February, 2011
Chinese Zodiac Year of the Rabbit. This little guy found a new home all the way in Sacramento! :D
I was a little ambitious and started designing the rest of the animals in the zodiac, but it’s now December 2011 and that plan obviously has not come to fruition. :P
