Black Mage, Cthulhu, Moogle and Cake!
I'm not sure if I've actually made a post here or not, but, hi! I've been lurking for ages. My mother first taught me to crochet doilies when I was about 12 or so, but that got really boring. When I got into girly stuff in my early 20s, I picked it up again to make lace for my own outfits. After that, I discovered amigurumi. Here's some of my creations.

My latest project - a Black Mage from Final Fantasy I



Cthulhu, from the Anti-craft pattern


Moogle, from Amy's Patterns


Small chocolate cake, from Norma's cake sachet patterns (Sundae ooh la la cake)
