what amigurumi do when you aren’t looking…
You leave the house for one minute... and before you know it, they've stolen the remote and the potato chips!

Off the hook: lots of amigurumi!
It's been a busy week this week... and I've finished lots of animals! First, I'll update you on Hugo's Horse, an adorable Hobby Horse that I started knitting last week. The horse is for Tim's cousin, Hugo... and Tim's taken the project over! He refreshed his knitting skills early this summer at Stitch & Pitch, and he wants to contribute to [...]

Every once in a while, amigurumi turn up in crazy places... like your pizza! The other night, a giant fly turned up in my pizza before I could dig in... fortunately, I was able to remove the offender before he ate too much!

I'm so happy that Cuddly Crochet had so much real estate... and I'm so pleased with how popular [...]
Designing a mosquito
Last week, I showed you a photo of a little mosquito that I designed and crocheted. Today, I'm going to chat a little bit about the process behind creating the design. First, I looked around online at photos of real mosquitoes and cartoon mosquitoes, and I discovered several points of variation: The mosquito could have three body sections or [...]
On the needles & off the hook!
The first week of August (as I just learned) is vacation-time in Connecticut... my local yarn store is closed and my yoga studio is closed, so I've been on a little bit of a vacation. This week, I decided to take a break from working on my next book, and work on a couple of other things. As a result, I have a couple adorable little critters to [...]
Tip the Crab’s Road Trip
Recently, Tip the Crab took a little road trip to Medford, MA. (okay, we'll be honest... Stacey had to go to Medford, and Tip just tagged along, pretending like he was driving). Tip hit a little bit of rain, but at least the photos turned out!
