I'm fairly new to crochet, and this is my first amigurumi. The pattern is by far one of the easiest I've tried and I LOVE the cute succulents. After making three and part of the pot I got excited and logged on to buy the cactus set as well. What a great resource, not only for gift making but for learning amigurumi and connecting with the PlanetJune website. I'm a fan!
