Whosit in the Making - Part 1

I found this really cool hand-painted fingering yarn at http://knitpicks.com/ and I think it's the perfect candidate for my first Picasa dog in wool sock yarn.  So far, I've made a few Picasas in wildly patterned acrylic worsted weight yarn with an F hook.  Sock yarn will require a B hook to keep the stitching tight and prevent stuffing from showing through.  The fun thing about amigurumi, is, as long as you keep the yarn and crochet hook in proportion so you get a tight "fabric", you can make the same cute critter out of any weight yarn.   So we'll see how this mini-version of the Picasa comes out!
