I’m hooked

And yes, that would be a terrible pun.
The other day, Julie made a post about amigurumi and posted a link to a crocheted cat (Amineko) that she was working on. I thought “Oh, that’s cute! I should bookmark that for the future.” Then my friend Helen linked me to Avocadolite Farm’s Farm Hustle game (WARNING: THIS GAME IS EXTREMELY ADDICTIVE). Once I tore myself away from the game, I found their albums of farm members and ex-farm members. OMG the cute! That was it - I had to make some amigurumi.
I went back to that link that Julie posted, grabbed some acrylic yarn from the attic, and found a crochet hook. A couple evenings, a couple naptimes, and here’s what I have:
He still needs his eyes, nose, and mouth, as well as a name. Grace claimed him immediately after I trimmed the last yarn tail, but if I let her name him we’d have another baby named Arlo. Cute, yes, but there are already 293762 babies named Arlo in this house.
Does anyone have another suggestion?
He’s upstairs now, snuggled up to Grace. She loves him!

That is so cute–you can really see that Grace loves him so, name or no name. Name suggestions escape me at the moment–perhaps it will be easier once Mr. Kitty has a face?

I can’t think of any names right now either, but both the toy and Grace are cutie patooties!

So cute! How about Bumbles or Bumbly for a name? Have you found your tape measure yet? I sure know one thing that you need in your sock kit!
