[studio-ami]

would you please tell me what yarn and size crochet hook you used for the Amigurumi Micropig. Thank you...=)

I used a 3.5mm hook for it and the yarn, just about any yarn will be okay. I don't specifically remember the yarn I used for the pink micro pig I made x

~Amigurumi design contest: please vote for my design!~

Hi everyone! Sorry I've been quiet for so long-work has been hectic!

Anyway amigurumi patterns are holding a design contest. The theme is to create "an animal at work".

I have submitted my own design, his name is Ame and he is a Japanese candy craftsman!  He practices amezaiku which is a traditional Japanese folk art of sculpting candy into a variety of shapes as animals and other characters

Ame enjoys his work very much and loves to set his stall during festivals during which he will wow his captivated audience with his candy craft!

It will really mean alot to me if you vote for him.

Thanks so much for your support <3

~Graduation presents~

It was my graduation a month ago and because many people I know will be parting ways with me when graduation comes I decided to make a graduation bear for each one of my close friends!

It was a lot of work and my wrists hurt very much the day before graduation! But I think it was worth it to see their smiling faces and genuine looks of surprise and delight! 

I made 14 graduation bears in total-there are three missing from the photo because some I gave before I took a group photo of the bears and the last one is the light brown bear I made for myself! :)

I had a wonderful graduation and the day itself was very memorable!

~First day working!~

Hello everyone! 

I'm sorry I haven't been blogging much lately-just been busy enjoying my last moments of freedom before starting work TODAY!

I'm so nervous, my last few years at university has been all for this moment where I finally start working! My job is very busy and hectic so I think I will have even less time to crochet and blog than ever! 

But I will be very happy if you guys can stick with me and support me still! I will do my best to crochet more cute amigurumi in my free time!

~Maneki neko pattern now FREE~

Hello everyone!

I wrote a pattern to make some adorable maneki neko (lucky cats) a few months back. Because I needed some funding for my graduation trip, I charged a small fee for the pattern. But since I have now been to Japan and back and there were no sales for the pattern in these past months, I think it will be a nice gift to everyone if I now publish this pattern! :)

So here it is-you can download the pattern from my craftsy account for free now! 

I hope everyone enjoys my pattern and have lots of fun crocheting!

What sized hook did you use for the pig pattern? (The smaller one)

Hi there!

For the smaller pink pig I used a 5mm crochet hook and regular yarn whereas for the big white one, I used a 8mm crochet hook and chunky yarn

Hope that helps!

~Graduation trip: Japan!~

Hi everyone! 

Sorry I haven't posted much in the last few weeks (been super busy spending time with all my friends before graduation!)

And now I won't be posting anything for the next 2 week as I'm going on my graduation trip to Japan for 2 weeks!!! (I'm super excited as Japan has been my dream destination ever since I was small!) 

I am super excited to visit the land where amigurumi came from as well as visiting all the shrines and temples and trying all the food!

I'm also super nervous as well as it would be the first time I am so far away from home for so long but I'm sure everything would be fine! :)

Anyway I'm off, everyone have a lovely two weeks! Hope its summer wherever you guys are!!

I'm looking for a crochet pattern for a chineese crested and cocker spaniel. do they exist.

Hi there!

Sorry I took so long to reply! 

And unfortunately I don't have very good news- I don't know. I did a quick search on the internet but the only thing that came up were some cocker spaniel patterns on etsy that you have to pay for..

Sorry I can't help. Does anyone seeing this post shed some light on this question?

~Hello!~

Hi everyone! And a big welcome to all my new followers!!

Sorry I have been so quiet recently, I have started my last placement as a student (yes sadly we still get placements even though we have passed all our exams..) and its keeping me busy!

I have been crocheting lately (albeit a bit slow) and I do have some amigurumi to show you  guys, the thing is whether I have time to take photos and write a post on it!

But please stay tuned! 

I hope everyone is having a lovely spring! :)

what size hook and yarn do you use in your creations.

Hi!

For most of my creations I use either a 4 or 5mm crochet hook and for my yarn, I normally use worsted weight yarn

~Lucky bamboo plant~

Hi everyone! I'm off home for the weekend-what is everyone else doing?

Today I will be posting about this lucky bamboo plant I made for one of my lecturers who is leaving to go somewhere else as a farewell and thank you gift.

Anyway I wanted to make him something that wished him good luck for the future and so I thought of the Chinese lucky bamboo plant! In Chinese culture, 3 stalks represents wealth, longevity and happiness so I thought this was the perfect gift to give to him! :)

I looked at the internet for inspiration and I saw June Gilbank's lucky bamboo plant pattern which I really liked. Sadly you had to pay for the pattern and because I am still a poor student, I didn't have the money to buy the pattern ><'

So I sort of eyeballed the photo and created my own bamboo plant which you can see in the photos above. Its not as good as June's but oh well! My lecturer really liked it and he said he would bring it to where he is going! ^^

So just a little thanks for his help over the year!

~Mamegoma easter chick outfit~

Continuing with the easter theme, I made a chick outfit for purple mamegoma to wear! 

Anyway this again was very fun to make and because I had already made the bunny outfit by this point, it wasn't too hard at all! And I really like the end product as well! :)
