Tiny Yarn Animals: Amigurumi Friends to Make and Enjoy

I am really excited about the new book Tiny Yarn Animals: Amigurumi Friends to Make and Enjoy by Tamie Snow of Roxycraft! Tamie's little yarn animals are so darn cute, I'm going to have a hard time waiting until it comes out in August! The good news is, you can pre-order your book now on Amazon!

And if you still can't wait, Tamie still has plenty of patterns that don't suck on her web site: www.roxycraft.com

The Sacramento Craft Mafia is planning to throw Tamie a book release party. So stay tuned for details!

While snooping around the Etsy blog this morning I happened across this video of various Etsy vendors at the Maker Faire this past month. If you watch closely towards the end you can see an interview with Jenn (Indie Galore and Rosebud Designs) from the Sacramento Craft Mafia! Whoo-hoo! Speaking of the Sacramento Craft Mafia we ladies of the Austin Craft Mafia and Stitch wanted to say thanks to Amy from Pepto Girl Industries for blogging about Stitch!
