Amigurumi World: Seriously Cute Crochet

Love it
This book is really good. I haven't tried the patterns yet, but they look reasonably easy to follow and the animals are just fabulous. I like the section with one big and one small animal as it is not so easy to change that yourself othervise. Now I just have to learn how to crochet.
Very seriously cute!
I've crocheted for a while but just recently discovered amigurumi. It's a wonderful hobby - you can use up your odds & ends of yarn and whipping up an adorable little doll gives you an instant sense of mastery. The amis in this book are very seriously cute, with a flair that I haven't seen in other books. If you're creative, you can put your own little touches on a pattern very easily: for example, I had some variegated peaches & cream colored yarn and used the apple pattern to make a peach (I also changed the leaf using felt). The only thing lacking is a good explanation of the basic crochet stitches, and the Sctog/single crochet decrease was not mentioned at all even though it is a very important thing to know when working in the round. That would prevent me from recommending the book to a rank beginner, but anyone with a decent knowledge of the basic techniques will have no problem. I can't wait to make more of these sweet little creatures!
AWESOME!!
I'm relatively new to crochet, but this book is great! It was easy to follow and the items are easy to create!
