Used Book in Good Condition
Also, I think I recognize that figure (amigurumi): it looks like it's from this book. I recently got it as a gift and it's pretty neat! I've only done the cthulhu that you can see on the top right of the cover but it has a lot of other fun patterns.
Edit: I see there's also an Idiot's Guide to amigurumi that might help you. Haven't read it myself, but Idiot's Guides are usually pretty well laid out.
One more sit that might interest you is Ravelry. It's an online knit & crochet community and it has a lot of free patterns, and lots of helpful people on the boards.
The Complete Idiot's Guide to Amigurumi is good for demonstrating how to create the basic shapes.
Pattern is from Complete Idiot's Guide to Amigurumi, except that it calls for an E hook, the smallest I have is F, and the smallest my hands would cooperate with was a G. Also, it calls for 6mm safety eyes but for some reason I had bought 9mm, so that's what went in!
Yarn is Red Heart Super Saver in Cherry Cola.
lol, it's been on my amazon wishlist for a while now =P I actually got [http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Idiots-Guide-Amigurumi/dp/1615640037/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1324399699&sr=1-1] a week or two ago, and it's really quite good. lot of great tips and the pictures are acceptable.
I use a bit of opposite coloured yarn, but I wonder why stitch markers are so friggin expensive! They're just a bit of plastic....
