While I don’t do amigurumi projects, I very much admire those who do in both the crochet and knitting spheres. If and when we get to meet again, I plan to mention this line of yarn to the members of my crochet guild as quite a few people turn out fantastic amigurumi projects. I also like the cowl pattern and the blanket you are designing- both great examples of simple and elegant design using neutrals as a base.
