It is time for another Mini Amigurumi Crochet Along, the Summer 2024 Mini Amiguurmi Crochet Along. I had planned to do a poll again to let people vote on the theme like I did for the spring crochet along, as well as last year's summer crochet along, but honestly I just kind of ran out of time. I reached a point where I needed to get started designing the patterns in order to have everything ready in time so I just had to decide on a theme.

I love international sporting events, like I never really pay attention to soccer but I love following the World Cup or the Copa America and Euro Cup type tournaments.

And again, I don't watch all of the events but I love following along with the medal counts and watching some of the events throughout the games, even the ones I know nothing about like curling.
