In All Good Taste. . .

THESE LINKS ARE NOT FOR MINORS, PRUDES, OR ALL OF YOU IMAGINARY BLOG-READERS WHO ARE FUNDAMENTALIST/EASILY OFFENDED.

Hehe, I couldn't resist when I found this while surfing the net! I felt a warm glow spread throughout my heart, just imagining what I could do with this idea. That coupled with Knitty's Rubber Caddy. . . well, you can imagine the gag gifts. I can only imagine. . .

Work on my onigiri is stalled since I can't get new needles for. . . lord knows how long. I have size 3, though, so I'll just redesign. Until then, I'm working on a straight needle bunny akin to what I posted by the lazy knitter. Such inspiration ^_^, thanks, lazy!

Dreaming Cutely!

All right, when I was sleepily surfing the net, I saw this pattern and absolutely FLIPPED out! How cute is it!? I swear, once I get all my Christmas knitting done, I'm making this for someone (I don't know who yet).

Anyway. . . ohmygosh, he's so cute! *cough* Now that I've composed myself, I present to you "Snoozing Ned" from Coats Crafts. If you can read English patterns, more power to you, but if you can figure it out and use it yourself. . . I salute thee!

The Title Says it All!

Today's pattern comes from a fellow blogspot user, the lazy knitter! This uber cute cat will be the envy of your friends. . . and the cutest Christmas gift ever (now's the time to get started for those of you that have a hoarde of friends.)

Trust me, it really is REALLY EASY! :D

Too Cute Hat!

Okay, another non-amigurumi pattern... but an adorable one, at that! This bonnet from Hello Yarn is versatile and, of course, can be embellished with anything you wish - cat ears, bunny ears... totoro ears!

The possibilities are totally endless, and, what's cooler is... there are adult sizes!

Flowers in the Fall

I'm going out of town for the weekend, so I thought I'd post something that you guys could use to occupy your time. It's not exactly amigurumi, but this awesome pattern from Saartje Knits is really adorable. Why not make a bouquet of flowers for your sweetie?

Very Cherry

There's been a bit of a bug in my camera, so I don't want to post any patterns I have yet. . . but, here, have a better one! These tutorials by geckogrrl are a great help, especially if you want to make your own amigurumi. I suggest you check them out, because they're probably the best amigurumi-related tutorials out there... at least, the best I could find.
Tutorial 1 is on shaping heads, and includes instructions for these sweet and sour cherries!

Tutorial 2 is all about bodies, with directions for the different types of body shapes, and oh-- there's a free pattern of it, too! Hurry up and make this cute spider!

Crazy Gator!

Today's pattern comes to you from Lion Brand Yarn, who suggests you use their yarn for this pattern, but don't be fools (as my brother would say), this pattern will work form anything. Its a Gator! Perfect for the little boys out there whose mothers are tired of knitting bunnies and kittens for them.

This piece looks a bit crazy, and I haven't made it myself (like I have with most patterns in my library), but I feel in the end any well-willing person who has mastered increasing and decreasing and. . . all the other stuff. . . will be able to manage him. AND HE'S SO CUTE! If anyone has the audacity to finish this, I'd love to see some photos. Try it!
