Knitta fish

Check out my fish!  Ain't he great!   ...  

Well, he's mine as in he was given to me, I can't claim the credit for knitting him - that awesomeness goes to my Mum! Isn't my mum a talent! The fish is even knitted in handspun, so soft and snuggly except he's supposed to be hung up, but when I hang him up he turns & faces the wall!

Mum knitted the fish from a book I gave her a little while back, it's this book:::


It's called Amigurumi Knits: Patterns for 20 Cute Mini Knits

Do you have this book?  Do you knit toys? Can you recommend any fab books like this one? (I'm book hungry!!)  Is your mum a talent too?
