Super cool crochet toys!!! (Amigurimi)

[radish]

We have a new hooker at our SnB and she is amazing. She has talked about this japanese style of crocheting toys:

"I keep mentioning these dolls/stuffed toys and then forget to post the links to sites about them!

Amigurumi are crocheted stuffed toys; the craft originated in Japan.

Hopefully this will inspire some of you to pick up a hook!
