Today is the day! 

I’m ran­dom­ly draw­ing an amigu­ru­mi sug­ges­tion from the com­ments every­one has left on this post, this post, and my post on Insta­gram.

I’m using the list ran­dom­iz­er on random.org. I enter all the sug­ges­tions as a list, and then the num­ber one item in the ran­dom­ized list would be the winner.

And the win­ning amigu­ru­mi is…

 

Nar­whal!!

An amigu­ru­mi nar­whal will be going to Amy, who made the sug­ges­tion :D

Now I just have to ask for every­one’s patience, as the fin­ished nar­whal and pat­tern will take me a lit­tle time… but it would be a great way to wel­come spring/summer by mak­ing an aquat­ic creature! 

Thank you so much every­one for your sug­ges­tions and com­ments! I’m a bit sad that I’m not able to make a pat­tern for all of the amigu­ru­mi you’ve sug­gest­ed, because they’re all great ideas and I like all of them! So I’ve decid­ed to scour the inter­web to see if these pat­terns already exist, and here they are if you want to make some of them :D (you can click on the above image to see the list of all the ani­mals suggested)

• Cute and cud­dly Capy­bara, a free Rav­el­ry download. 
• A free yel­low rub­ber duck pat­tern with a nice fan tail, can be made with dif­fer­ent colours of yarn for a North­ern Shoveler.
• A love­ly giraffe (made in one piece!) by Vam­pire Weasel.
• I’ve post­ed a super sim­ple pen­guin pat­tern before, but if you’re look­ing for one with more details, this pen­guin on Wom­an’s Day looks very cute.
• Here’s a sil­ly look­ing platy­pus, from Inner Child Cro­chet.
• A seri­ous­ly AWESOME look­ing (and free!) Emol­ga Poke­mon pat­tern by Wolf Dream­er.
• Super adorable guinea pigs on Rav­el­ry — I wish I have the time to make a dozen!
• Beau­ti­ful lla­ma from Cro­chet Goods, looks like she’s ready for action!
• Chub­by red pan­da from (Ri)Create, just want to squeeze him.
• This car­di­nal on Rav­el­ry would make an awe­some friend and accom­plice to a squir­rel :D
• The loris is a bit hard­er to find… but I thought this lemur pat­tern might also work for a loris. For sale on Ravelry.
• These hedge­hogs also work as dusters, they make help­ful plush friends :D Pat­tern by Pier­rot.  

Thanks so much for the inspi­ra­tions, everyone!
