Each step, from drawing up a simple sketch to charting out the stitches, is filled with a sense of discovery. As you crochet, you can almost feel the personality of your amigurumi taking shape in your hands. The process is wonderfully satisfying, and seeing the final product, a cute and quirky tray, is nothing short of magic. Every time I finish a piece, I can’t help but feel a little giddy with pride and joy. πŸŽ‰
