. . . Speaking of nonserious crafting! I’ve been making this little guy in bits and pieces over the past week. My first attempt at amugurumi. And what fun! I’m (as they say) hooked.

In case you were thinking of picking up a copy, it’s a really great beginner’s book – my crochet-challenged brain had no problems. I did tweak the pattern a little based on my likes and stash, though.
Btw, if you need a good tutorial for joining appendages to an amigurumi body, I highly recommend this one at Craftybits@PlanetJune.
My kitty definitely needs a name. And a little brother:
I hope you have a very relaxed New Year’s Day. I have a Sausage Strata in the oven, and my parents coming over for brunch. Should be lovely.
