A is for stuffed toys? (Amigurumi)

I love making toys.  Knitted specifically.  If I could figure out how to make them on the sewing machine or with a needle and thread I probably would.  But somehow.. I don't have the patience.  I know funny considering I have the patience to knit them.

Growing up I had stuffed animals all over my room.  They were the best toys ever to me.  One of the ones I remember was a three foot tall Raggedy Anne doll my mom knit.  No I a not kidding, at age nine I had a knit doll that was almost as tall as I was.  I could put my own cloths on this doll... it was awesome.

I haven't tackled a toy that size, yet.  Most of mine are in the smaller range.

Recently I finished off Cecil the Cephalopod for my cousin who is having a baby..

I love all the little legs... so fun.

And I made Vet Jaden, a gargoyle, for another friend who is having a baby (still need to ship him out).

 But my favorite toy I have knitted, more for myself, is also a gargoyle (I love that pattern)... his name is Leanord and his best friend is a stuffed chibi Optimus Prime...

 I know I will be making more toys, and I think that is great.  Currently I have a set of dolls I am making (I am sure they would prefer to be called action figures but they aren't plastic).

Edit: Totally forgot to add this... Why A?  Well, I have started an Alphabet blog circle.... and here is the wonderful picture link to check out other posts as well...
