Welcome to Emigurumi!

It's not like I don't have other things to do... or even two other blogs to maintain, but I've recently become hooked on the Japanese art of crocheted cuteness, "Amigurumi."

I thought I'd create this blog as a place to post my newest creations and patterns. I started by following a free teddy bear pattern from Ana Paula Rimoli. That was a couple weeks ago. Since then, I've purchased her book and made an octopus, bear, hedgehog, bunny, kitty, coffee cup and an oversized smiling pear. I've also just gotten hooked on creating my own patterns. Yesterday I made up a pattern for a cute gastropod-- I call it the "Hershey Snail." And I made a little fuzzy cactus, which I'm calling "Sofie Sajuarita."
