What fun!! Look at this wonderful surprise I found in my mailbox the other day! MyTimeMedia has released their newest issue of “Amigurumi” magazine and my little “Buttons the Mouse” pattern is featured in it! Well, it was a surprise in that I didn’t know that I’d be getting the magazine that day. 🙂 After all, I did give permission for them to use my pattern. Alas, this publication is currently printed only in German. I am hopeful that they will release an English version one day soon! Then I can try my hand at all of the amazing designs found in the magazine!!
Look who else is featured! It’s All About Ami‘s (Stephanie Lau’s) adorable “Teddy Ornaments”! Isn’t the layout beautiful? I am such a big fan of Stephanie’s! My little mice are definitely in great company!
There will be 4 new publications of this magazine in 2016! Maybe I’ll be lucky enough to be featured again one day!
Welcome to the first Little Muggles Amigurumi Crochet Along!! This little turtle is fun, cute and simple to create! This design is simple enough for beginners to make, but also has a lot of potential for the more seasoned amigurumist! (Think embellishments, shell patterns, etc…) For those who are not familiar with a Crochet Along, it is very simple. Basically, any number of interested people can use this FREE pattern to “crochet along” with each other! That is, you can share your progress with your fellow crocheters, ask questions, post pictures, basically just share your thoughts and your amigurumi making experience with everyone! The most fun part is seeing everyone’s finished works! Everyone is free to use whatever yarn colors, gauges, decorations, etc.. that he/she prefers! Doesn’t this sound incredibly fun? I encourage everyone to Crochet Along with me!
I have named my turtle Sheldon! He is approximately 4.5 inches(12 cm) high and 6 inches (15cm) long. He makes a cute little decoration for any room or a super unique and adorable gift for anyone of any age!!
There’s more!
As an added bonus to the fun, I have decided to enter everyone who submits a picture of their turtle into a random drawing at the close of this Crochet Along! One winner will receive a FREE pattern of their choice from my Etsy shop! Who can resist another cool amigurumi project, right? The winner will be announced on my Facebook page!
Here’s what you need to do!
Spread the word! Share the news of this Crochet Along with your friends and fellow crochet pals! If you “share” my Facebook post about this Crochet Along and submit a picture of your doll, your name will be entered TWICE into the drawing!! That’s an extra chance to win!

I have FINALLY finished my free pattern for all you lovely fans. I’ve been meaning to do it as a thank you for reaching 100 likes on my Facebook page and it’s taken me this long to put it all together. It took me a while to figure out how to set it up so you can download it off my site. This is not easy for a blogging newbie like myself!!
I present to you, Mochi the bunny – an Amigurumi Gem. I plan to start a new collection of mini dolls that I’m nicknaming “gems”. Has a nice ring to it, I think. 🙂
Thanks so much, everyone! Thank you for visiting me on FB, for leaving kind words, for liking my creations, for all the support! I will try to keep the designs coming!
