I can't wait until your book is published! I'll definitely buy it.
ReplyDeleteAlso thank you so much for making a book on how to crochet people! I have been wanting to crochet people for the longest time! And you are the master at crocheting people.so I'm sure the book will be fantastic!
ReplyDeletePS: I'm the poster above.
I am so excited for this book! I never thought I could do amigurumi (and I can't sew to save my life) and I thought I was doomed to live life unable to turn the characters I imagined up in my head into real life things!
ReplyDeleteThanks to your tutorials and free patterns I'm now creating my own patterns! And after I buy your book I can crochet my own personal versions of my favorite people!!
I agree Candra! I can hardly wait! I want to crochet versions of my grandparents and people I know. I can't wait! October come quickly! :)
ReplyDeletei cant wait!!!!!! im counting down the days!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYay! I just ordered your book! I can't wait until October 1st!
ReplyDeleteI am trying to find a pattern for Kailan. I saw yoyu made a cute one. I have a 3 year old granddaughter that thinks she is Kailan. It is too funny.
ReplyDeleteSo excited for your book! I made your Martha Stewart, so I am very excited to get basics and start creating my own characters! I already have it pre ordered!
ReplyDeleteWill the Carl Sagan pattern be in this book?
ReplyDeleteI can't wait until your book is finally in my post box. I'm from Germany and admire your works a lot. I hope amazon.GER releases your book simultaneously to the US-release, so that I can start to crochet my own puppets - I really want to crochet my father who tought me everything about crocheting. Wishing you all the best!
ReplyDeleteI received your book from Amazon a few days ago (September 20), and it's WONDERFUL! I love that it really is a mix-and-match guide to creating your own characters and people, not just making an existing character. It's so much more fun that way and it really opens up the possibilities!
ReplyDeleteHi i love your book and am so excited to make family dolls.....I am wanting to make a hoodie and on the windbreaker pg 60 you state there is a pattern for one but i can,t find it on the next two pages...am i missing something...many thanks
ReplyDeleteYou can find the correction here:
Deletehttp://larkcrafts.com/project-updates/amigurume
No longer there. Is there another site?
DeleteAny chance of publishing your book in digital format?

DeleteI just got your wonderful book, but I have just one question. Do you have a pattern for the 5'clock shadow look on page 21?
ReplyDeleteI would love to get your book. But will it be available in digital form? It is very expensive to get anything these days from the USA because of the sky high taxes.That is why I am so happy with all those digital patterns.
ReplyDeleteAre all the doctor who companions I have seen on tumblr going to be available in a bundle soon? Love them!!
I don't know if just cant find where to go but I'd like to buy the pattern of Guadalupe?
ReplyDeleteHow tall are the dolls when finished?
ReplyDeleteWould love to do characters from "Young Frankenstein".
ReplyDeleteYeah, I am clueless on how to do the bare feet I have started. I can't find anything to help online. It's driving me nuts. It is not encouraging to see that your concern was voiced 2 years ago and there is still nowhere for me to find a tutorial of some kind
ReplyDeleteHow do you vary people's heights? I have your book but want to do my family and well would like it to be close to real.
ReplyDeleteSame! The book is great but the Bare Feet pattern on page 89 makes no sense, especially for the child’s foot pattern. Is there an errata page for this book?
ReplyDeleteAny help? Anyone? Bueller?
Working on this right now and still no help on how to do it
ReplyDeleteGreat information to say the least. I really do appreciate everything so much from this great website.
ReplyDeleteJust recently aquired this book. Does anyone know where to get the correction for the hoodie now that the Lark Crafts site is gone?
ReplyDeleteAny success? I'm struggling with this as well.
ReplyDeleteWondering about corrections also. Any word?
