Amigurumi Love Birds Reviewed by Theresa Granese on 2010-02-19
used VANNA'S CHOICE yarn and smaller hook (G/6- 4.25 MM HOOK ) after reading the reviews; came out cute. Made a pair and a nest so have ' love nest' and used it for a bridal shower. BIG HIT ! :)
will certainly be making more, espically for spring time and Easter.
