About

ilomilo is an absolutely adorable puzzle game the kids have found a demo for on the xbox. The world is whimsical. The music is delightful. The main characters are altogether sweet. Even the purpose of the game - two best friends trying to find each other because they are happiest together - is endearing! Of course you need to have these characters recreated to play with!! And what better medium than crochet??
