ferret friends

Look who showed up at my house today (click for full-size images): The two ferrets had some playful power struggles at first… But now they are best of friends 🙂 The Fuzzy Ferret pattern will be available in the next week! Don’t forget to sign up to be the first to know when it’s released. […]

fuzzy amigurumi tips

It seems to be a commonly held belief that it’s difficult/impossible to crochet with fuzzy/eyelash/fun fur yarn. As you may have noticed, I’ve been working with fuzzy yarns a lot recently, so I thought I should share some advice on how to crochet fuzzy amigurumi toys. I’ve created a main page – Fuzzy Yarn Tips […]

mini fuzzies

I thought it might be a nice idea to make some themed series of smaller toys, so here’s my first set, Woodland Creatures (click pic for larger version): Squirrel, Mole and Hedgehog crocheted Mini Fuzzies. The mole is a different kind of fuzzy… I used chenille yarn so he feels very velvety and mole-ish. UPDATE: […]
