Christmas Creatures

I made Pocket Creatures once before, a set of three creatures the summer of my third year of college.  I gave a pair to a friend, kept one for me, and somewhat recently gave my sisters the last pair.  I've also lost the second of the purple guys I kept for me, so now I have to make another one of those if I want a set again!  I still have yarn in the correct colors for it, and I'm pretty sure I have leftover buttons of that variety as well.

Of course, my sisters needed sets of their own, so I made three sets for Christmas, all from stash yarn except the purple, since I didn't have quite enough purple left in my stash for another set.  Good thing I did buy more purple, since I'll be needing it for myself as well, and I was able to use it for the Fish Hat, a good purchase all around.  On to the Creatures!

These guys look like they should be in a Studio Ghibli film!

While I love stuffed creatures and amigurumi, they really are not my favorite things to make.  Small, fiddly, and then the comparatively huge amounts of seaming typically needed versus, say, socks (one line of Kitchener!) or a sweater, even a 100% knit flat sweater.  Oh well, they're done, and now I just have to make another one for me...eventually...
