This post was really inspirational for me, i’ve been doing crochet for a couple of years now and seeing a Zangoz hat inspired me to try and make all of the Zingoz & Zangoz as amigurumis (stuffed crocheted creatures). I started making Zangoz yesterday and have almost finished him (he is just missing a mouth) next up is either Wacky or the Zingoz in a ball from Zingoz Bounce. thanks so much 13c for the inspiration!
I would really like to see that crochet Zangoz stuffy you made! you should post a picture of it in the Share Center. :)
Hopefully, i’ll get his mouth done tomorrow, once it is done i’ll definitely post it :)
I can do this and my mom can help me! Thanks..Thanks…Thanks!!!!!!!!
