Yo! Crochet, Crochet

Yo! Crochet, Crochet

The Yo! Gabba Gabba infatuation has reached a fevered pitch in my household, as my 19 month-old can now say "DJ Lance Rock" better than she can say Grandma. Which is no slight to Grandma. In fact, Grandma was cool enough to devote the better part of the winter break trying to crochet the Yo! Gabba Gabba amigurumi doll set for my children's enjoyment, thanks to my pleading, and the crochet kit from Crafty is Cool. 

These are definitely patterns for experts - if you're handy with the crochet hook, a soft, loveable, not-made-in-China Brobee can be yours. If you're not so handy, spend the extra cash and have the artist make them for you.

Now I have to go and get that Don't...Don't...Don't Bite Your Friends song out of my head. -Liz
