Searching for a gift for a friend I found this kit in internet

and I thought... What the heck! Let's try it. It was my first time with anything relative to crochet, so I was kinda skeptic about the outcome but it was way easier than I thought!!

What is amigurumi?
  • Is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures. The word is derived from a combination of the Japanese words ami (meaning crocheted or knitted) and nuigurumi (meaning stuffed doll). They usually represent animals with big heads and anthropomorphic features :) 
Why crochet?
  • I was tired of always being in front of the computer. At work (Web designer) and at home (Digital drawing)
  • I love to try things. I need to learn to keep my mind always working, always evolving, like the time I did earrings with clay  or when I started doing some papercraft ;P



It will be as lasting as your love for drawing?
  • I don't think so :D. As the clay era and the paper era there will be a time when I'll get bored of it and will try something else. In fact... I'm starting some gardening XD

I love to crochet! In fact, I just finished 3 of 4 (maybe more) amigurumis of my own for Christmas gifts this year. (They're my first set of dolls, so they're a bit wonky, but I'm sure the receivers will love them any way).

Crocheting is a ton of fun, and I love it since it keeps me busy. :D
