I've been a happy hooker since I was in grammar school. That is to say, I love to crochet. I find it less stressful than knitting and easier to do in a spontaneous way. I remember making a shell stitch scarf when I was in 5th or 6th grade. Now many scarves, afghans, toys and booties later, I'm making a blog to share my love for crochet with you.

Amigurumi Elephant
I just posted a baby circus elephant to my Etsy shop. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=7248063
Someone asked me if amigurumi was hard. If you can do single crochet, increases and decreases and crochet in a circle, you are ready to try amigurumi. Ironically the meaning of amigurumi is 'small knitted doll or toy' but most amigurumi by far is crocheted. I think something got lost in the translation there.
