Anigurumi

I have discovered a new love - anigurumi. That is, the Japanese art of creating characters out of yarn by knitting or crocheting.

Last weekend I found an amazing blog about anigurumi. It first appealed to me because the site had patterns to create Star Wars and Lord of the Rings characters. I am a huge Star Wars and LOTR geek! The patterns were easy to follow and the result - I think - was great. Here is the Frodo Baggins I made:

I even made the elven sword, Lothlorien pin, and of course the One Ring. The site where I found the patterns is Geek Central Station. The doll pattern was free, but I had to purchase the clothing and accessory patterns. The prices are very reasonable and the direction very good.

I am not working on a Legolas doll - and then maybe some Star Wars!
