Reviews

"The resource section in Crochet at Work has some great additions that I was happy to see included that I feel have been neglected in other amigurumi crochet titles that I have reviewed in the past. Things like stuffing the toy, right side vs wrong side of amigurumi, counting stitches, positioning the eyes and rounds vs rows are covered briefly, which was great... a great resource for experienced amigurumi makers that are looking for a resource that gives them tools to create a wide variety of crochet dolls that you can customize."-- "The Loopy Lamb"
