Amigurumi Crocheting?

[Dramaphile]

My husband's not going to be too happy if I come home with a new craft, but I'm really interested in learning how to crochet those cute little animals/people/etc.  

Any good beginner's resources?  A kit to start with would be awesome, or some in-depth tutorials.  I haven't really crocheted or knit before beyond learning some super basic crochet as a kid, which I wasn't terribly good at.

This is my favorite site for amigurumi tips.

If you don't already crochet, I'd suggest starting with some flat squares like washcloths to practice your basic stitches.

thanks! I'll check out the site tonight, my work computer is blocking it because it's non-US based
