In return for your contribution, you get the free pattern and my eternal gratitude :-)Check out my website to check whether my patterns appeal to you. If you are interested to participate, please send me a facebookmessage . Also send some photo’s or a link to your facebookpage so I can see your experience with crochet. Greetings, Miss Hodgepodge

Love has been blooming all over Funmigurumiland and the newest chapter is the hilarious romance of a Spring and a Summer Bug (both are free patterns), and now you can enjoy joining the saga of this super cute and funny couple by crocheting these bug "dolls" and chuckling all the way through. Enjoy! You will find Primrose, the girl bug here (the boy bug is just the previous post to hers): http://funmigurumiandkidsstuff.blogspot.com/2016/06/primrose-summer-love-bug.html#.V16hQbsrLIU

Hi Everyone! I would like to share my latest design. This is Chirpie Canary. She's a totally precious little birdie, wearing a jumper, matching bonnet and sandals. Lots of fun for anyone who loves Amigurumi of any age. You will find Chirpie here (available ONLY from Monday thru Thursday, weekly): http://friendsofcraftybegonia.blogspot.com/2015/08/funmigurumi-birdlies-chirpie-canary.html#.VeL5IflViko Enjoy!

I am having trouble understanding a this 18in doll pattern. It says after making both legs to join with 6 sc, what does this mean and how do you do this? Thank You! donnabug122

Those are all dolls made by me. More photos available HERE. What do you think? Do they look good? I am not very experienced yet...

Found what I thought was a really cute doll pattern and decided to make friends in a rainbow of colors.

Molly's Babies takes gently used dolls & teddy bears, cleans them up, fixes their hair, and then crochets outfits for them. Some dolls & teddy bears will also go with their own blankets, when available. Molly's Babies is a non-profit organization that needs help with doll blankets, hats, outfits, booties, bibs etc. and 4 inch squares (knit or crochet). Square colors are greens, blues, pinks, purples, reds, yellows, or a combination. pretty much any square will work...for boy's and girls. Doll blankets--large enough to cover a normal size doll Doll size bibs, hats, booties, outfits or gowns. You can get a good idea of the size of the dolls and learn how this all began on the website. http://mollysbabies.org/ One does not have to send a bunch of things. Even one bib or hat or square will help immensely. The mailing address is on the website or you can message me and I'll send it out to you. They are located in Connecticut.

I've seen the Wikipedia definition for amigurumi. Do you consider there to be a size limit as to the type of project you would label "amigurumi"? Are they always small? I know it's probably a silly question.

Spring has come early to Pleasant Valley and all Funmigurumiland is buzzing with happy bees, chirping birds and funny bugs. Lady Buggsy has come out to enjoy the sunny days and the bursting flowers and we have grabbed her and brought her over to share her with you. You will find Lady Buggsy from Monday thru Thursday, weekly at this address: http://friendsofcraftybegonia.blogspot.com/2013/02/funmigurumi-lady-buggsy.html#.UTLBKKLo53Y Enjoy something different in dolls!
