ALL AMIGURUMI PATTERNS IN ETSY SHOP ONLY $2.50!!!

I am so happy to have my Etsy shop back open! All patterns are for sale for the low price of only $2.50! I have had many requests for my frog pattern, and it is for sale now in my shop. I have many, many more patterns to add. This week I am planning on adding the Longhorn pattern and the ice cream cones for sure.  School is keeping me very busy, so it’s been hard to find time to do anything besides homework, but I am going to try to post my hedgehog pattern for the October free pattern. I have to find time to make one up and take pictures! I also want to make some actual amigurumi to sell in my shop. So many wants and so little time. I can’t wait until I’m out of college and don’t have to have my nose in books all evening long!

Etsy Shop to Reopen!

Sorry it has taken so long to get the plesiosaur pattern up! Class has been keeping me much busier than I expected. I’m going to be posting pictures soon. I haven’t been able to get much work done on the book and I really want to get the patterns up for sell. I have decided to reopen my Etsy shop and sell the patterns there. The shop will reopen in the next few weeks and you will be able to buy patterns for $2.00 each. I will list information about each pattern here on the blog as well. In the next few weeks, I am also going to be starting a contest with prizes such as free patterns from my Etsy shop and amigurumi dolls I’ve made myself. Hope you’ll check it out =)
