Just a quick post of some ami-tako's I made for Buddy a couple months back. They were really quick to make just an ami ball with some simple single crochet legs. I actually made a bunch more but these were all I could gather up. Mochi is crazy about them as well so I'm sure there's at least a few under the sofa.
And thank you everyone who sent their well wishes for the shop and a special thanks to those who purchased the tutorial! As usual I've been really busy at my day job and haven't had time for much crafting or blogging but I hope to put some finished crochet babies and maybe some finished baby kokeshi in the shop soon.
Happy Easter to all who celebrated this weekend! Back soon.
So cute! That tiny pink one is amazing :)

Oh, those look just like the little tako we used to find occasionally in the shirasu. I admit that they freaked me out when I first realized that my little white fish were not all fish, I don't know why the inclusion of an teeny octopus made it bad. But I got over it!
Yum, shirasu, I wish I could get some here...

I wish I could crochet, these are fantabulous and I could see them becoming a bit of a 'hde them in unexpected places' toy around the house! Brilliant

These are so cute! Your heading cracked me up. For some reason, in my head, I was hearing Rap Repleinger saying, "I going make you eat um" in his funny way. LOL
