Yay! I finally did it!

So, I've written before about how much I adore those little crochet things called amigurumis... and how I totally stunk at crochet. Well, after lots and lots of practice, I finally made one - successfully, that is lol. I did manage to make some pretty strange looking things before this little guy came about... everything from "Swamp Thing" to genetically mutated bears to things that resembled lop-sided phallic symbols.

Now you understand why I am totally doing the happy dance over here :)

He is a safety cone - isn't he cute? If you want the pattern, click here.
