Confession: I can't stop crocheting food. What began as a weekend project to make a few play food cookies for my young nephew has turned into a 6 month grocery store trip rendered in scrap yarn and polyfill. I've got all the food groups represented with colorful yarn food, complete with happy faces. They smile back at me each day in my kitchen.
Amigurumi originates in Japan and it's taken off worldwide as crocheters discover the addictive satisfaction of creating beautiful little critters and objects using only their crochet hook and inexpensive yarn. Whether you're experienced with crochet or just learning, take a look at these great books for inspiration and ideas.
