I came across amigurumi in a crochet book catalog about a week ago. I didn't buy the book (it seemed overpriced) instead, I found all the resources I would ever want on the internet (such as Amigurumi-Along). Here is one of my first animals. I made this little piggy out of my head. I am not sure if the pictures up there will show up, so here is a link to my flickr page just in case http://www.flickr.com/photos/62572522@N00/
