Whip up a fresh batch of amigurumi!
Lauren Espy is the owner and designer behind A Menagerie of Stitches, a shop dedicated to creating crocheted amigurumi. Her love for amigurumi (and yarn!) all started after her grandma gifted her a set of crochet hooks and a book about amigurumi one Christmas. After teaching herself how to crochet back in 2008, Lauren quickly began designing her own patterns and has created a style that is uniquely her own. In 2015 she finally opened her Etsy shop and now sells finished items as well as crochet patterns. Lauren lives in Tennessee with her husband Carl and their two pups, Thunder and Storm.
Creativity is literally the opportunity to turn dreams into
reality. Lauren has absolutely and successfully accomplished this
with her new book. Each project is stunning, adorable and leaves me
needing to go make myself a snack. The intentional artwork and
graphics, to the precise details and information...this is an ideal
book for crocheters full of gifts for all ages!
