Amigurumi

Looking for a unique and personal gifts for my nieces and nephews, and grand nieces and nephews,  is always a challenge.

I like to handmake gifts as much as possible, but even there's only so may hats a child can wear!

Lately, I've been teaching myself to crochet. For some reason, I thought it wouldn't strain my hands the way knitting does, but after making these two feather leaf things, my right arm is aching.

 

I have got the bug now though, and once I've had sufficient rest, I will attempt to make some of these adorable amigurumi.

Here's a video of this amazing crocheted doll, created by artist Isabelle Kessedjian (Instagram link)
