Amigurumi love!

[xanthvamp]

I discovered amigurumi almost exactly 2 years ago. I already loved crocheting, but this just took it to a whole new level. With so many wonderful things that could be made, I was in heaven!! A new obscession was born ;). Since then I've made so many fun toys, gotten Simple Making of Dolls -Hello Kitty, Amigurumi Patterns Cosmic Mook and Amigurumi No Nakamatachi in Japanese, not to mention Creepy Cute Crochet and Amigurumi World, and found SO MANY amazing web sites.

I felt like putting all my fave ami links and help together in one spot. So, besides cruising the wonderful weloveamigurumi, here's where I go when I am looking for all things ami!!
