You know I’ve a penchant for making up silly stories for my amigurumis. There have been occasions when I even subjected you to my goofy comic strips about the mischievous twins and a crime fighting schoolgirl. So when Amigurumipatterns.net, the treasure-trove of all things amigurumi, announced it was hosting its first “animal at work” themed amigurumi design contest where the contestants had to not only design “the cutest animal and give him or her some nice crocheted workwear or tools” but also create a story for their amigurumis, I jumped right in.
So ladies and gentlemen, allow me to unveil my three entries for this exciting contest. Presenting *drumroll* Foxy O’Neal, Miss Kitty Catty, and Cuddles & Buddy! 
Foxy O’Neal (a.k.a. Slam Dunk), the 8 inch tall basketball champ, is fully poseable with wired limbs and a movable head. This gives him the flexibility to make high jumps, net the ball, and score for his team. Isn’t he adorable? Now is the chance to show him how much you love him 🙂
Our 14 inch feline amigurumist, Miss Kitty Catty, also boasts of fully movable limbs, which gives her dexterity to create cute little amigurumi teddy bears. She’s extremely quick with the hook and can whip up a few teddy bears in no time. Okay people, a gorgeous amigurumi-making cat that does not scratch! I know it’s impossible not to want to vote for this cutie-pie. Go ahead, click on that link that says VOTE, don’t be shy 😀
You already know Cuddles and Buddy. Their free patterns were earlier posted here as the “Holiday Bears”. Though these newly appointed Santa’s assistants are only 5.5 inches and 8 inches tall, they can beat anyone at gobbling up large quantities of chocolate pudding. They can also seriously raise the cuteness bar. You love them, don’t you? So why don’t you go ahead and show them some love 🙂
The voting for this amigurumi design contest is currently underway at amigurumipatterns.net where everyone can vote for their five favorite designs till November 30. All you need to do to submit your vote is click on the red heart button on five of your favorite amigurumis, then enter your name and email address in the pop-up screen. I know you have always loved my amigurumis. So will you please show some love and vote for them? 🙂

After seeing every entry, I voted for all yours because the work is fantastic, the expressions are more inviting and realistic and the oval look of all your entries look more professional than the rest. I love seeing what else you can create. Keep up the awesome work!
It’s so very kind of you to say that! Thank you so much for liking my work and voting for my entries (wow! you voted for all three of them? thank you, thank you, thank you :D). I’ll try my best to keep this space interesting 🙂
I want to hug all of them! I love the expressions and the stories were great. Good luck on the contest!

Thank you so much, Nicky 🙂 The contest rules required each of these characters to have their own story. Luckily, I had a bit of practice in that department 😉 I really want at least one of my amigurumis to win but there are so many adorable opponents *sigh!*
You’ll do fine! (Hoping one of yours wins too)
🙂

Thank you so much, my dear friend, for your support and your friendship. I truly value them. And though I’m still learning, I aspire to be as good as you one day. 🙂 Thanks again for everything 🙂
I like your entry a lot 😀 It’s amazing to see you here as well. Keep up the amazing work!
Hey, thanks for dropping by and for your lovely comment! I love your Jeremiah P. Johnson Jr. & his upright bass a lot too 🙂 Enjoyed going through your sketches of JJ and his “Grunkle J”, their story, your design process, and the final photos. And that little “Will play for fish” placard is absolutely adorable! Would definitely love to see more of your designs in future 🙂
I’m lovin’ all three (and hope patterns are available soon), but because I’m a cat lover, Miss Kitty Catty took 1st place for me! Your creativeness just makes a person want to pick up needle & yarns and start crocheting these critters!
Thank you, Diane, for your kind words. As you know, the free patterns for Cuddles & Buddy are already available for download on this blog. And the patterns for Foxy O’Neal and Miss Kitty Catty will also be released soon by amigurumipatterns.net as a part of their next amigurumi book. Once the book is launched, single patterns from the book (including those of Foxy and Kitty) will also be available as single downloads on their website 🙂
P.S. Miss Kitty Catty says to tell you she loves you too.
