I learned to crochet in January 2009 after seeing photos of amigurumi critters online. "Ami-what?" was my initial reaction to the word, but I soon found out it was a Japanese word for dolls/animals crocheted (or knitted) in the round, and who really cared how to say it - they were cute!
After several failed attempts (ok, many failed attempts) I finally figured out how to crochet round in a continuous spiral and Squishy the green dog was my first finished ami. He is from a pattern in Ana Paula Rimoli's book "Amigurumi World" which I love!
Here are some of the other amis I've made from the same book:
