Amigurumi = Too Cute For Words!

Okay, so your first question will be "what the heck is amigurumi?" It is Japanese and means something like "tiny knitted stuffed animals" or something like that. Well, I've known about it for a couple of years and think it is adorable. I wanted to learn but wasn't motivated enough at the time.

Well, I got a sweet gift in the mail from my cyber friend Valerie. Which awakened my love for this tiny craft. I mean seriously, can this cupcake be ANY CUTER??? (I had to borrow this picture from my pal Patti but mine is this same exact color, size, style, etc.)





Now that I have a baby on the way I think I seriously need to learn how to do this. Look what cute stuff I could make? (These pictures were found on pages 1-33 when I googled Amigurumi images.)

Yes, it slays me too. I also have a soft spot for the baby chick in the egg carton.

OMG the sock monkey is slaying me - I gotta get one of those! Sarah keeps asking for a pet and I keep telling her the only pet I'll consider is a finger monkey! She die if I sent her one of those!

So how teensy do the knitting needles have to be to make that little sock monkey? Hmmmmm.
