February ami-along GAMES and/or MYTHS
February's ami-along themes are
games and / or myths
As always, the monthly ami-alongs are meant just for inspiration and fun, and you have absolutely no obligation to post items that go along with the theme of the month. We love to see ALL of the cuties that you create! :o)
....
I'm in the process of writing up a couple of posts with lots of inspiring pics, and lots of links to patterns of adorable amigurumi related to the themes, but feeling under the weather at the moment, so will post them in a day or two. (sorry)
Thanks for all of the wonderful mini-me's that were posted last month! Please keep 'em coming.... Remember that you can post ami's inspired by past ami-alongs at any time! :o)
Games can be characters or props from video games of course, or board games (monopoly, scrabble, backgammon, fantasy rpg's or whatever!) or any games you can think of and would like to make a character or game-piece from.

Myths can be from Greek or Roman, or Japanese, or ANY mythology, or other figures/characters from stories or fantasy - like unicorns, pegasus, mermaids, faeries, gnomes, etc. etc. etc. ... Yes, I know that these all really exist, of course, but we're calling them "myths" for fun! ;o)

Group Photo Pool
And don't forget to join and post your ami's to our recently created group photo pool on flickr.com (see link at top of main page), so we can easily view all of the amigurumi that you've posted in the past! Those of you who would like to have your ami's represented but don't already have them on flickr, please message me - we are setting up a flickr account to hold such photos so they can be posted to the group pool also.
Monthly reminder about
weloveamigurumi group policies...
Please remember that this is a G-rated group, since we do have children visiting and as members, so please be careful of language and photos in posts and comments (including ICONS). Our most important rule is to be NICE to each other. :o) We're here to have fun and enjoy the CUTE! And please no posting or requesting copies of patterns copyrighted by someone other than yourself, without the copyright holder's express permission. It's not only unethical, it's illegal, and can cause serious problems for the poster, and also for the group!
For more information please see our group profile/info page. You can find this link in the top of the header box on the group page.
