Projects #3 & 4: Amigurumi (aka teeeeeny tiny crochet stuffed animal buddies)

I got the "Teeny Tiny Animal Crochet" kit for Christmas and promptly made the bunny, or at least I tried. Unfortunately the kit, ostensibly designed for beginners, did not come with nearly enough yarn to complete the pattern, even for someone fairly well-versed in crochet. So I sized it down, then sized it down again, then considered writing an angry letter to the people who make the kit.

Despite the lack of adequate materials, the patterns are cute, so I decided to also make the piglet with some leftover pink yarns I had lying around.

Technically I'm supposed to add legs and eyes, but I kinda like the minimal look, even if it reminds me of those bouncing red AMC theatres characters. We'll see how I feel once I've stopped procrastinating via crochet and actually get my real to-do-list done today.

Seriously adorable.
