OMG you guize, look what Amy made!

Insanely talented buddy Amy from the local Star Wars gang crocheted this blue hippo Leia. (She's the one who made the Yoda who sometimes helps President Obama on his Seekrit missions, plus our truly insane Stitch hat. Oh, and Aloysius the Bantha.) Anyways, this is actually kind of a double joke. There's these weird Kinder Egg blue hippo characters that maybe you have to be German to really understand. Anyways, a few years ago, they made all the Star Wars chara as trippy blue hippos. Plus there were vehicles and displays. And, oh, yeah, chocolate. Anyways, we xeroxed a hippo amiguri pattern for Amy from one of the books we've found impossible to use, and like 30 seconds later, she produced this Princess Hippeia!

I need to learn to crochet so that I can make amiguri because there are hardly any knitted amiguri patterns. D:

I've seen the SW hippos in books, so weird. XD

Is that mini Cthulhu from the same book as the little mini Grim Reaper? I need to figure out how the heck to crochet in the round before I can embark on the cuteness, unfortunately.
