To add to Mel’s post:
I’ve recently come across some great inspiration in the stuffed crochet arena. Amigurumi, specifically, and I’ve found a whole host of free patterns and ideas.
Just as an example, this year, I bought some girlfriends Goats for Christmas. You know, the ones you buy for villages in the developing world. Anyway, I attatched a handmade, crocheted stuffed goat head so they had something to “show for it”. I’ll bring in the patterns for the next one. And I was thinking that, really, it wouldn’t be so bad to meet on Saturday afternoon at around 1, would it? Just an idea, ladies
