More amigurumi cuteness

I am having way too much fun making these guys. They're just so cute! And it's amazing how many of them you can make when you don't have a job ;) The giraffe was kind of a pain in the butt to do--he's much bigger than the other guys, as you can see by the last "group" photo, haha. The legs were super tedious to do so when I got around to doing the arms I made them a little shorter than the legs. He turned out cute though, so it was worth the effort. I especially like his cute little tail--you can kinda see it peeking out on the left side of the photo.

And here's the turtle I mentioned earlier. I might make him with a funky red colored shell next, just for fun. But first I have to finish a teddy bear I'm working on. Then maybe I'll move on to something useful like a blanket. Not sure I'll ever make clothes, at least not for adults, as I don't think I can make anything fashionable enough that I'll actually want to wear. A hat or a scarf maybe, but a sweater I'm not so sure. Baby sweaters would be cute though, like Sabrina makes. Anything is cute when it comes in miniature :)

I've learned that the hardest part of making these guys (at least for me) is stitching the different parts together. The appendages are all made separately and then stitched onto the body. I never did learn how to even sew a button on appropriately, so I'm learning this stitching stuff as I go. I found a decent online tutorial for how to do it neatly so these guys are already much improved over the first elephant I made. Speaking of which, I'll have to make one of those for myself since I gave the first one to my sisters.

Goodbye from the amigurumi zoo for now!
