Alpaca & Easter PocketAmi patterns

Thank you all for the book congratulations! I’m sorry I didn’t have any real photos of it to share – the book is still in layout, so there’s nothing finished to show you yet. But soon, I promise! Now, back to the crochet patterns. To make up (I hope) for my absence, I have two […]

mop top mascots

I thought it was about time I gave my favourite readers another gift, so here it is: a fun new donationware pattern… I’ve called these guys Mop Top Mascots for obvious reasons. They stand about 4″ tall, and the real joy of them is that they are so easy to make, and easy to customize. […]

pattern catalogue

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 […]

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? The snow has arrived already here in Ontario, so it seems like a good time to start thinking about Christmas preparations. To get you in the mood, I’ve designed a crocheted candy cane tree decoration. This […]

xmas pocketami designs

It may seem early to some, but I know for a fact that some of you are already preparing for the holiday season. So with that in mind, I’ve created another seasonal set of PocketAmi, with a Christmas theme! This time around, we have a tiny Snowman, a Christmas Elf, and a Reindeer for your […]
