My First Amigurumi
I finished my very first amigurumi project today– a mouse!
This did not turn out to be as easy as I thought it would be. I think alot of the problem had to do with the yarn I had. Amigurumi is supposed to work best using the cheapest acrylic yarn you can find. Evidently mine wasn’t cheap enough. However, it did unravel quite easily.
I also had some difficulty sewing the completed pieces together. I haven’t found any directions on the best way to do this– running stitch, or like darning or what? I posted to Crochetville asking for help, but no replies so far. If anyone has any pointers, please let me know.
To see what my cat Claire thought of the new mouse, check out Turtleheart Cove for pictures!
That’s a very cute mouse! I usually just stitch the pieces on to put mine together.

That is a very fine mouse! I use the whip stitch mainly, in addition to the yarn, sometimes I find that embroidery floss works well, and for little arms and legs I have been known to use thread.
