Crochet!

I have always loved crocheted bears and always wanted to give it a go and make my own - so I have taken a couple of crochet classes and I'm addicted! It is great fun! Not easy, but great fun! I also love the little Japanese "amigurumi" style bears and critters - my first attempt at a little amigurumi amigo is...

Ta da! Yes, it is just a ball with eyes a mouth and some hair, and not very neatly crocheted... but it does prove I can crochet and not only that, I can increase and decrease! Now it's just practice, practice, practice!

I received the new issue of "Australian Bear Creations" in the post today - and bonus! There's a pattern in there for a crocheted bear!!! I am meant to crochet :-)
