Welcome

I just picked up my crochet hook again after 30 years. I used to make afghans but now I’m making stuffed toys. (Entering into my second childhood perhaps?) This craft is known as Amigurumi, the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and other creatures. The word is derived from a combination of the Japanese words ami, meaning crocheted or knitted, and nuigurumi, meaning stuffed doll. I love to collect patterns and my goal is to live long enough to complete them all!

Valentine's Day Crochet

This Little Elephant was finished just in time for Valentine's day. Pattern is by Teri Crews. My first crocheted elephant...certainly not my last. I love elephants!
 
 
This Danish Heart pattern by Allison Baker is actually a puzzle that is crocheted in two ovals and put together. It forms a small pocket that can be used to hold candy, flowers or just about anything. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it came out! It would even make a nice Christmas Tree ornament.
