Recently, the sweetest little Baby Anna was born and I couldn't wait to meet her!  While I made her a (somewhat abstract) bunny blanket (another post for another time), I wanted to whip up a little something for my favorite New Big Sister Sophia.  After searching through some pattern books, and using this newfangled thing we call the internet, I decided on this pattern: I Love Buttons by Emma.  It really is just the cutest!  I went with more traditional giraffe colors than the pattern called for, but at least half of that was because I had a ton of yellow yarn laying around.  I love how it turned out, and I think it was a hit! 

Here's a tip!  Michaels has those small black buttons in a 4 pack, and they are awesome for amigurumi eyes.
