The Magic Circle and Invisible Decrease

No I am not blogging about kama sutra (although that might be a fun way to get a response from my readers:), these are two amazingly awesome crochet techniques I am learning! These techniques allow you to crochet amigurumi without holes and gaps in your crocheting. I have recently picked up my crochet hook, after years of neglect, and had forgotten how much I enjoy crocheting! My most recent projects were for my sister-in-laws baby shower. The shower was a jungle theme and I found TONS of cute and free patterns online. I just couldn't stop myself from making a baby elephant, giraffe and hippo. Unfortunately, I don't have pictures of my finished products - yet. I need to get the pics from my mother-in-law. But they are just as cute at you can imagine. Now, that I have found these extra neat techniques, I'm sure another crochet project is going to be in the works soon. I think I am going to make several under the sea themed items and hang them up in our toy room. I just can't decide which items to make. What are your favorites?
