Amigurumi - Pink lady

I fell in love with the pattern of this pink amigurumi lady the moment I saw it. It was a pleasure to work on, and the lady who emerged out of wool was indeed pretty!

Her hair turned out to be unmanageable though. She had too much of it when left loose and I did not know what to do with it. My roommates K and B came to help. After all, girls will be girls around a doll, won't they? K did her braids and B and I leveled her hair and tied it up. Once we were done, we all sat around her, just looking at her. 

She turned out to be as pretty as she was in the original pattern and I had a lot of fun making her!

I found the pattern link at this site:

Back with a Giraffe!

Back to crochet and the blog after a long time! 

I have been making some jewelry, but did not update it here. I am back in Chicago now, so it is easier to get yarn and crochet supplies. I have started crocheting again, and Amigurumi is my new craze!

Amigurumi is a Japanese art of crocheting and knitting small figures. They are often made with disproportionately large heads to enhance the cuteness element.

Here is a photo of the giraffe I made recently.
