Last week, I had a request for my catalogue, but, um, I don’t have a catalogue… I thought it would be interesting to try putting together a simple one as a PDF file. Sometimes it’s handy to see everything on one page (or 5 in this case – I couldn’t fit everything onto 1 page […]

how to: invisible decrease
Remember in the ‘early days’ of making amigurumi, when we didn’t know about the Magic Ring? Remember what an aha! moment it was when you figured out how to do it, and how we’ve never looked back since? Today I have what I think will be the next aha! moment for amigurumi makers: the invisible […]
crocheted socks!
I’ve never really been interested in making socks – they are so inexpensive to buy, and seem like they would take so long to make, it just doesn’t seem worth it to me (although I know many knitters would disagree). Also, sock yarn is normally made of wool, which I’m sensitive to, so I a) […]

I’ve had a couple of requests lately from people who like my patterns, but want to make a larger version. So, the question is, is it easily possible to ‘size up’ amigurumi designs? […]
AmiDogs Pug puppy pattern
My little chihuahua has made a new friend! I’ve been getting requests for a pug pattern for months, so I thought it was about time I did something about that. Sorry, people who have requested other breeds – I’m still working down my list! I let my ideas percolate in the back of my mind […]
free pattern: candy cane
Can you believe it’s almost December already? I’m sure time is moving more quickly this year, don’t you think?

To get you in the mood, I’ve designed a crocheted candy cane tree decoration. This […]
