Amigurumi World is finally out, and I find myself looking for it in all the bookstores I come across with. I hold it, look at it, and put it back. And just to prove everybody once and for all that I'm the biggest dork, I even feel like kissing it! :p
Please write your name/e-mail address in the comments section of this post to get one as a little present from me. :)
If you already bought the book (THANK YOU) and don't want another copy you can pick a pattern deal from the shop instead (you can let me know when you win).

You have until this Thursday night. I'll do one of those number generator thingies on Friday morning and announce the winner!
By the way, a while ago I added a new Flickr set with pictures of all the toys included :)And now a picture from Jennifer: momma duck and her favorite book! ;)

Makes it all worth it to see the smile on their face!
Thank you for all your creativity! You are helping make the world a MUCH cuter place!
Cheers!
Ana - I love your book! When it came into my store, 3 Kittens Needle Arts (I'm one of the owners), I started making things right away. Did you know there's a typo in the Cafe con Leche pattern? Anyway, I'd love to get your pea pods pattern from your Etsy store if I win.

Hiya, I absolutely love your patterns. I just wanted to let you know the book is missing a line of the pattern for the Cafe Con Leche Cup. You have directions for the bottom of the base of the mug, and handle of the mug, and the coffee. It does not say how many rows you are supposed to repeat the number of stitches to create the side of the mug. I just took a look at the picture and figured it out, but wanted to let you know.
ReplyDeleteGreat book and looking forward to doing more of the patterns.

So, were you to come in, you'd see it facing out where anyone who walks by can see!
