Two years ago I discovered Amigurumi - Japanese style crocheted anthropomorphic creatures. I was so taken with the overwhelming cuteness of these characters that I taught myself to crochet in order to make my own little friends. Although I did consult some patterns in order to learn the process (including a book entirely in Japanese, quite a challenge!) each of these creatures is my own design - I can't be bothered to follow a pattern anyway, but at the same time I took rather sketchy notes (my own version of a pattern) so I doubt that I could reproduce any one of these.

This is Froggy, one of my creations. He's a frogbot - a frog / robot hybrid crocheted from acrylic yarn, with polyfill stuffing, little plastic pellets, and of course, manufactured eyeballs.
