Review
Waterstones Newsletter:Amigurumi is a Japanese term for tiny creatures which are either knitted or crocheted. The market for amigurumi books has become somewhat flooded recently, but for my money, Annie Obaachan's is the best you can buy. Find out a little about the history and culture of amigurumi in Japan, follow the easy instructions to learn the basic crochet stitches necessary, and you will be whizzing through the 15 cute and simple patterns in no time. The book tells you everything you need to know, from understanding abbreviations and symbols to reading a chart. Easy!The best section in this book, however, gives guidance on creating your very own, unique amigurumi. Combine a few basic shapes wth a little imagination, and it all falls into place! A gallery at the end of the book provides photo-inspiration for amigurumi of all shapes, styles and character, along with web-links and a brief introduction to a whole host of different designers.As an introduction to amigurumi this really is the best starting place. Other books will give you more patterns to follow and different styles to emulate, but no other book provides such a creative starting point, and wealth of amigurumi ideas and avenues to explore.
