This post has something for everyone! First of all, I made a narwhal for my friend Krista's birthday. She loves narwhals, so naturally I had to make one for her. I was short on time, so I used this pattern as the base and added a horn (made from a 5 sc circle, crocheted until I felt the length was good enough).
It's also Christmastime, so I sometimes make things for friends. This year, I didn't have a lot of time because I was doing the Christmas cap project, so I only had time to make things for family and three of my closest friends. One of them got a dragon and panda that were not of my design (so I didn't take pictures), but Erin and Elizabeth got customized dolls. First of all, Elizabeth is a fan of Star Trek and had mentioned before that if I got inspired to make her some human amis, she would buy them. So, I made her William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy (I am told that they are Kirk and Spock, respectively). Since this is my own pattern, I have decided to post it online for your viewing/making pleasure. If you make one of your own, please refer back to here when posting pictures and also let me see your creation!!

Erin is a fan of Korean pop, so I figured I'd do something for her related to her fandom, too. Super Junior, one of her many loves, has animal representations of some (or all?) of the boys. She had made felt versions of them before, but I decided to make her amigurumi versions. The references I had were these pictures:
So, I set to work. Again, here's the patterns and if you make your own, please refer people back here and show me your creations!!
