Mod Post - July Ami-Along!!
Just a reminder that our Ami-Along themes for July are
"comics & cartoons" and "seasons".
Please feel free to join in and be inspired by these themes, and post your in-progress ami's, as well as your finished projects! :o)
You're also encouraged to post projects from past ami-alongs (that maybe weren't finished in time?) at any time - or any other amigurumi you'd like to share with us! :o)
We'd love you to share links here, with the rest of the community, for patterns that would illustrate this month's themes -
for example these fabulous Pokemon patterns:

(Look along the right side of the page for the list of pokemon characters' patterns.)
one of which is Pikachu:
So Cute!
I've just discovered that, coincidentally, LAST July's ami-along was cartoons and anime!! How strange is THAT?! :o)
We may as well get a head start and peek at last year's post for some great links:
