Awesome! I love this little panda! I wish I could check out your class. I recently got a book on amigurumi, but I am having a hard time learning how to crochet.

i know it's terrible being pendantic (like a "pendant") ...
but actually AMI gurumi means "knitted" little animals/toys. NUI gurumi means sewn.
the ami prefix denotes knitting with the two sticks.
kagibari-ami is knitting with the one hook.
so really in japan, there's just "knitting" and some knitting done with the hook. so your little fella is authentic "amigurumi" :)
