I made 3 little mushrooms for a friend's baby and started an Amigurumi World style octopus for my son this weekend.
When I first started making amigurumi again I made a mushroom for this baby, but I stashed it away instead of mailing it as soon as it was ready. I'm kind of glad I did now because a month later after MANY mushrooms made, I would be embarrassed to send it now.
For a beginner, it's not too bad. The stitches are loose and I hadn't quite perfected the pattern or art of the color change yet, so it's just a mess by my standards today.
What's a crafter to do?
Why, make 3 more mushrooms to replace it, of course!
I'm quite pleased with how they came out. I got to play around with some of my bright colored yarns some more which is always fun. And I decided to do a sort of counting theme with the spots on the mushrooms. So you will notice each mushroom has a different number of spots for counting and are different colors for color identification.
The baby's only 3 months old, but we're starting her early. :)
What have you made in your free time?
