[rainbowmoon]

I'm up for it!

It would be fun to have at least a handful of us doing it though... Let's keep this thread alive, and maybe more will notice.

That pirate is super cute!

How cute! I am working on 6 inch afghan blocks at the moment. My goal is one a day. I have a sea turtle pattern I have been wanting to try so maybe I will work on him a little after my "block - o - the - day"!

Yep, I've been meaning to make DH an amigurumi yoda for- well, forever. TBH, they're the only reason I learnt to crochet in the first place :

This sounds fun. I haven't actually made any yet, but I have a few patterns! Cute pirate!! I love these patterns. http://www.katcrochet.com/freebies.htm
My goal is to make a chihuahua

[Leilalu]

I'm in, but maybe AFTER the baby is born or maybe I can start in the hospital?

I just finshed dh's first sock today, and will most likely hurry on the other before Friday. Dd knows I am not startign her twin size denyse schmidt quilt until I finsh daddy's sock, so she wants me to hurry! Then I have to knit soakers, make about 40 diapers+covers. Then maybe I can start on some cute little dolls.

I have been drooling over the patterns at my local Kinokuniya forever. I am so wanting to make some of them!

Those look cute! The lionbrand link did not work for me. the second one did and I found some other things about it. What does it mean to not join the "rounds"?
What is a "round?"
I am having trouble understanding how to read the patterns.
I like this bunny from the 2nd link http://www.geocities.com/muslimahkat...urumiBunny.pdf
but I do not understand the directions.
I also found these patterns http://www.squidoo.com/crocheteddolls
I would love to make some.
Can someone please explain what the directions mean and which is the easiest pattern or is there a video or online directions that shows what it means somewhere?
Thank you.

I love the tutorials and videos here:

Rounds are a challenge for me too. The best thing to do is to use stitch markers, so you can remember how many stitches you have done. Crochet directions baffle me too. I just keep rereading and look up stuff I don't understand in books or online. Etsy has a ton of cute patterns too.

OOOOO! I wanna play! I love toys--playing with them, and crocheting them too! I've only made a bear so far, but have been eyeing up the Lion Brand pumpkin, pirate, and monster patterns. I want to make pet toys for the humane society at some point also.

[rainbowmoon]

hoping to finish monster pirate tonight. will post picks!

next I want to make 3 little kittens based off the kitty ami pattern from lion brand. (of course I want to make them mittens! ) oh and the angelfish and puppy and kitty pocket pals too! I hadn't been on the lion brand site in a long time they have ton of cute ami patterns!

While I was browsing the links in this thread, my daughter was looking over my shoulder, so now I have quite a wish list from her! I think I'll start with a bear, or a penguin, or a pirate...... If anyone finds a koala pattern, please send me a link!

The Mama birthing is so neat!

I'll have to look in my bookmarks - I think I have a link to a page that has quite a few that another Mama shared here before.

A lot of the amigurumi patterns I have are (bought) off of etsy.com, and from blogs I've stumbled upon.

I'm working on the cupcake here...
http://nimoe.wordpress.com/2007/12/16/cupcake-pattern/
It's SOOOO cute! Will post pics when I'm done, but it might take me a while...

[ReikiMommy07]

Anyone still interested in this thread? I've found some great ami patterns recently and gotten side-tracked from making the cupcake... But I'll post pics of the ones I've made if anyone wants to see!

[flapjack]

Yep I'm 5 rounds into a bluebird from www.needlenoodles.com

[**Mia**]

Just wanted to add, I've made my little Mexican girl pattern free via Ravelry for the rest of February if anyone's interested- Sarita pattern.

Only thing is, my contact info has changed, but I still get that email forwarded so I'll be able to answer questions if any are asked : Happy Valentine's Day!

[flapjack]

Thankyou Mia!

OK, the body of my bluebird is done, just have two wings to go.
