Here is the progress of my amigurumi “humanoid”. I’m already a pro crocheter (toot toot) so I really had a hard time taking it slow with my new book. I completed the strawberry (okay not really, i figured out the “working in a ring” portion) so I felt confident to move forward. What creature did I decide to make you ask? Well since I was going in completely blind to the whole process I figured why not go for the gusto and chose a character I would really like and would actually finish… so I’m making a Colin Firth aka Mr. Darcy amigurumi humanoid doll!! (don’t roll your eyes!)

Here is his progress so far. I have 2 arms, 2 ears and half a head sounds like a Beck song. The arms went very quickly and I added the lace on my own. The ears compared with his head look large, if they turn out to be huge then I’ll be remaking them. I went out of order when making the components. The pattern calls for me to make the wig portion before the body BUT I find that for Colin I need to have his head complete so I know that his hair actually fits. I bought a nice chenille yarn for his hair but don’t want to mess it up. Of all the piece I think his wig will be the most challenging… I say that now. Now the hard work begins…
