Just found this great new (to me) site. Perhaps some of you already know of it but will post the link for those who don't:

Stacey Trock's Fresh Stitching | a blog about crochet, amigurumi, knitting & designing

Stacey is wonderfully talented, she gives lots of hints and tips and has a fun blog too. She has a free e-book for those of you who might be interested in amigurumi, it is for beginners and answered a lot of my questions (my first attempts were a bit wobbly but I am sure I can improve with her easy-to-follow directions). Take a look here:
