Whale Shark Amigurumi!

Recent obsession with whale sharks, fiber arts, and a need to look for other sources of income has inspired me to create for the first time ever in my life an amigurumi pattern in hopes for sustaining my existence through my increasingly expensive and thus largely unsustainable hobbies - yes, yarn is expensive.

Amigurumi is an ancient (;P) Japanese art of creating soft cutesy animal toys through either crochet or knitting. While this goes against my standard craft philosophy of "must be practical and useful," it cannot be helped that I did find the creation of this to be ADORABLE. (The emotions far outweighed the practicality; I'm sorry, little brain) So now I choose to share this ADORABLE WHALE SHARK with the world via Ravelry.com, for only 3.00 USD (plus taxes, I believe.) FREE!

This original pattern is designed by yours truly. Born of hours of hard work, this little whale shark is sure to inspire joy and happiness to whomever embraces it!

Promotion! This pattern is free of charge until October 8! So get it NOW!

[UPDATE 2013-04-17] I'm making this pattern a free Ravelry download just because I'm nice. And I need testers for my future patterns. But you're welcome to donate if you feel like being nice too! Just use the little button. All donations will go to a personal advocacy fund I'm putting aside for supporting local conservation efforts.
