Have I got a treat for all you crocheter’s out there. I received the book The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Amigurumi and can’t wait to get my crochet hook working on some of the projects in this paperback book. Its fantastic!
Amigurumi (pronounced ah-mee-goo-roo-mee) is Japanese for “crochet (or knit) stuffed toy.” Although the concept originated in Japan, the amigurumi craze is taking over the world in waves of crocheted cuteness! From adorable fuzzy critters, to sweet-looking fruits and vegetables, to quirky comic book and cartoon characters–if you can imagine it, you can crochet it!
