Hoops' Amigurumi Adventure

Last week, I made Yoyo, and he was lonely, so I decided to go ahead and make Hoops.  The pattern I used for Hoops was from Amination Blog.  I followed the pattern, except for making the eyes just slightly bigger.

 Hoops' Amigurumi Adventure

When last we met, at Yoyo's Amigurumi Adventure, we encountered Yoyo the bunny, who was patiently awaiting the return of his best friend Hoops.  Now, we adventure from the perspective of Hoops the cat.


Hoops was outside scavenging for food when a bad rainstorm came through.  He sought refuge under a nearby porch.

The rain stopped, but it looked like it could rain again at any moment, so Hoops decided to stay awhile longer.

Hoops wandered around the porch and encountered...an animal that he thought resembled himself.  He had never encountered another of his kind, and he was very curious, so he jumped up into the chair with the animal.

However, the beast in the chair began to attack, or so he thought, so Hoops ran away into the house.

Hoops found some other animals when he entered the house, and he talked to them. They seemed really nice.  He was hungry, so he decided to look for food.  Hoops stood up by the window to look out for food.

He couldn't see any food, but he found a higher spot, so he decided to climb up and look.  Hoops climbed up to the top of the cactus hill.

From his perch atop the hill, Hoops did not spot any food, but he did see something else.  He saw another animal that resembled the one he had encountered earlier.  Hoops tried again to make friends, but he was met with even less success than last time.

Hoops walked around the house some more, and he didn't find any food, so he decided to go back to the nice animals.  As he walked back to them, he spotted a friendly face.  Hoops was excited because he spotted Yoyo.

The other animals were so nice that Hoops and Yoyo decided they would stay awhile.

Yoyo's Amigurumi Adventure

While perusing Ravelry this week, I found these great Hoops & Yoyo ami patterns at Amination Blog.  I already had the right yarn for Yoyo (but not for Hoops), so I made a Yoyo.

If you don't know who Hoops & Yoyo are, then here's a pic from Hallmark:

Hoops & Yoyo are two characters found on the Hallmark website, and they have a number of adventures that you can watch.  Of course, they also have lots of Hoops & Yoyo cards and other things Hallmark sells.   There used to be quite a few free Hoops & Yoyo online cards available, but it seemed like the free Hoops & Yoyo stuff pretty much disappeared after awhile.

Anyway, without any further ado, I present

Yoyo's Amigurumi Adventure

Yoyo woke up and couldn't find Hoops, so he decided to go look for him.  Yoyo went to the first house he could find, and he entered through a window. 

He walked through the house looking for Hoops.  Yoyo came upon a hill full of cacti.  He looked around, but Hoops was nowhere to be found.

Yoyo became very thirsty, so he began looking for water.  After much searching, he found a pond full of fish.

*No fish were harmed while making this adventure
**The fish tank is not this yellow in real life.  However, I'm still trying to get it to be clear again.








Yoyo drank some water and played with the fish for awhile, and then he returned to his task of finding Yoyo.  While searching around in the living room, Yoyo thought he had finally found Hoops. 

He played with Hoops for a few minutes, and then Yoyo realized he must just be tired or delirious from all of his adventuring because he discovered it was actually a wild beast.

Yoyo played dead until the wild beast lost interest.  After his escape, Yoyo decided it was time to sleep.  He thought he remembered a place to sleep near where he had first entered, and he made his way back.

Yoyo found a comfy place to sleep. A group of ami friends was also planning to sleep there.  They were very nice to Yoyo and made room for him.  The friends told Yoyo that Hoops had come through the area earlier that day and would be back soon.  Yoyo felt very relieved, and he drifted off to sleep.
