daffodils pattern

It’s still winter here. The snow hasn’t melted yet, and it feels like it’s been winter forever! I can’t wait any longer for spring to arrive, so I decided to create some spring for myself… Here’s my vase of crocheted daffodils – a bit of instant springtime! Click for larger picture I’ve written up the […]

a puppy painting

One of the things I most love about my blog is the opportunity it gives me to ‘meet’ other artists and crafters and people who make things. One such person is Christy DeKoning, a talented artist who I recently ‘met’ online but coincidentally also lives in Ontario. She paints watercolour portraits and also sells small […]

say hello to the sea turtle

I’ve tried something a bit different for my latest design for the AquaAmi range. My sea turtle is made with two colours of yarn, but is still all worked in single crochet in the round (apart from a few rogue hdcs). He is one of my largest and most ambitious designs to date, at 11″ […]

For everyone who is waiting, the AmiDogs Set 3 patterns will be available very shortly… UPDATE: Looking for the pattern? You can […]

german shepherd

By popular demand, I finally designed a german shepherd (also known as an Alsatian, for any Brits reading this): A big thanks to Kris and Kassie for your design feedback! It’s difficult to see his nose (black on black) but you can see it’s there from the profile of the face. I also just realised […]

amigurumi animals

* If you can see this post, you’re viewing the new improved PlanetJune server! * I just went to my mailbox, and look what I found inside (sorry about the photo quality; the sun is not cooperating today): It’s a new book, Amigurumi Animals by Annie Obaachan! The book is very cute, and has lots […]
