Amigurumi Mario Mushroom

I wanted to post a picture of the little Mario Mushroom I finished the other night. Surprisingly, the little guy took many an attempt to get right (I have 5 or 6 others in various stages of completion!) but finally I got one that looked good! It's Wolfdreamers' pattern (over here
http://wolfdreamer-oth.blogspot.com.au/ ... rooms.html ) but I added another row of white to the stump (?) and made the spots bigger. I hope you all like, and excuse the dodgy light!

That's awesome, Ally! How big is it?
I can't crochet to save my life. Unless it depends on being able to make unevenly tensioned, unevenly shaped blobs. That's a skill, right?

Thanks arkani! He's only little, about 3-4 inches tall. I only learned to crochet a few months ago so I could make amigurumi, these mushrooms in particular. And you could make monsters with your blobs, whack some googly eyes on them and I'm sure they'd be adorable!

It took heaps of tries to get it right! Make more sparky! I'm sure you'll get it how you want it, you just have to play with it a little
And hey, at least your kitty cat likes it!

Your knitted version is ADORABLE! What sort of wool is that?

Hum... I can't remember, but I think it was mostly acrylic, and maybe 25-30% wool...

I'm not good at this kind of stuff, i'm better at flatter stuff like blankets and mobile/kindle/tablet covers.
