I must be slightly cracked...

...but do you think Naidie will like it?


According to K, Naidie (her pink and white cat, beneficiary of the mini granny blanket in the previous post) needed a rabbit to snuggle at night. Despite the fact that she actually sleeps in K's bed and not the toy bed, poor Naidie was bereft of a snuggly creature of her very own. So instead of working through the insane number of crochet cakes and Mr Suns I have to get done before October, this odd little creature was born. K couldn't settle on a colour - first it was red, then pink, then blue, then silver - so I figured varigated yarn might appease the capricious moggie. This is from Amigurumi World: Seriously Cute Crochet and is the first I've made from this book. In lieu of a proper review (cos I really ought to try and get a bit of work done now!), I will say that this is a pretty easy book to follow; I can see why it's so popular even though the amis themselves aren't quite to my taste and I can't quite put my finger on why. Having cut my ami teeth on Creepy Cute Crochet: Zombies, Ninjas, Robots, and More I guess it's just a little cutsy-pie for me. I like 'em morbid-leaning. Which is why Crobots has just gone on my wishlist and I'm itching to buy patterns from Lady Linoleum at Monster Crochet, I guess!

Anyway, Amigurumi World is straightforward and a good one to get started with, it seems; this rabbit took me about two hours to whip together in front of the telly (bearing in mind I've made a few hundred ami-type projects over the last year).

Now, back to work, and let's hope the bunny is both approved of and receives a name in the morning...
