Sarah Crane
The squid is adorable! As someone who is brand new to crocheting, I had to look some things up elsewhere, as the videos moved a little fast for me at times. That said, this is an intermediate project, so the instructions are probably clearer for people who have more crocheting experience. In the end, I made something that actually resembles the pictures, so that feels like a win! I also love that Megan gave instructions for cleaning the toys, as it's always a bonus when they're washable.

I can't believe I was finally able to make an amigurumi animal after many, many tries with other classes and patterns!

Enjoyed this class, would appreciate more if some of them where just slightly slower or have a close up as to where the hook is going.
