Crochet Monster Amigurumi Number 2

  It's a deceptively beautiful day outside today, sunny and bright, but very cold. I am so thankful for the sun, I love crocheting next to a window letting in the sun.

  I've finished my second monster of the week. This one is inspired by the lovable green monster Mike Wazowski in the movies Monsters, Inc. and Monsters University. When I told Kai that I was going to make one monster a day this week, he knew of one monster I had to make.
