I promised Jennifer at Books, Personally that I would post a picture of my amigurumi tomato, so here it is in all its splendor. After I finally got past the 4 stitch cast on with douple-pointed needles, it was a breeze. My mom’s a farmer, gardener, tomato canner extrordinaire, so I’ll be giving her this for Mother’s Day tomorrow. This pattern is from the book Amigurumi Knits by Hansi Singh.

Very cool! I admire anyone who can knit. I don't seem to have the patience for it…or something.

Very cute. I don't have a creative bone in my body, yet my daughter is a self taught knitter with (2) published books….go figure.
That's cool – I've never heard of amigurumi before.
I am so envious of all crafty people. My friend tried to teach me to knit once and hours later threw up her hands in frustration. She had to admit I was unteachable!
Haha, love it!! Nice job on the knitting too.
Bev, I think my pig-headed-ness definitely comes in handy in regards to knitting.
Diane, how very cool that your daughter has 2 knitting books. You must be very proud. It's funny, I don't know if I think of knitting as creative, though you certainly are creating things. Mostly at this stage I'm following patterns, which is someone else's creativity.
Alyce, I have many helpful knitting friends who introduced me to amigurumi, though I still cannot really pronounce it or spell it reliably.
Angie, oh surely not unteachable, but I certainly felt very stupid when I was learning and my friend had to tell me over and over again what to do.
Mary, thanks!
