While I Catch My Breath...

...I may as well leave a post! I found out today that I made the JV Softball team, I've had karate and fight classes, and lots of advanced school-ish classes to keep up with. However in the midst of it all, my knitting projects left me unenthused. Uninspired. But then a huge sale at my local craft store and lots of unused half-skeins of merino in a rainbow of colors allowed me a deviation into this...

CROCHET AMIGURUMI!!!!

Granted this one was my first and had no plastic eyes...but soon to follow was another turtle for Brad's birthday, an owl that Chris drenched in cologne, a bunny with a hat, and a mouse in a skirt :) In the works is a monkey for Patrick with a blue pacman shirt, and a eventually I'm supposed to try to piece together a platypus for Robbie's late birthday gift. Sheesh. I had better go get some work finished...
