I've always wanted to learn how to crochet and about two years ago (er.. Spring of 2011), I finally had the time to crack open some books and start learning (In hindsight, youtube might have been much easier). After a lot of practice making scarves, I began making plushes and have stuck mostly with that ever since (it's just so satisfying getting a toy after all that work :D). I've also been focusing on making animated characters and non-human figures since I'm not too confident in my abilities to make people yet.. I will in the future though! The majority of these are my own original patterns besides a couple with link references to the patterns.

In regards to patterns, I have a few posted up. Because I learned so much from free patterns that many people generously shared online, I'm hoping to give back a little by sharing some too :) I don't always write down all my patterns though because I sometimes don't know how to describe what I'm doing when they get too complicated and I start winging things. I'm working on it though!

As for commissions, unfortunately, I don't do those. I don't really know how to set a price that would be fair for both parties and I just don't have the time! I will probably be much less productive for some time since I'm currently in dental school, but I'll be needing my study breaks :)

Thanks for the page visit :D

P.S. Please excuse my lack of photography skills
Interests
A lot of fellow amigurumi artists have been posting up lists of what they plan to make.  A great idea, in my opinion, since every time I finish a large project that I've been working on for a while, I'm always at a loss for what to make next.  Though naturally, WHILE I'm working on said project, the list of things I'd like to make gets longer, yet I forget it all soon after.  This rough list shall be a personal reminder but also give you guys an idea of what kind of things to expect in the future hopefully.  By no means is it set in stone since I only work on things if I feel like it >_> and I'll add to the list if more ideas happen to sprout in my mind.  I will probably also work on smaller things in between larger projects.

(In no particular order-just noting down as I remember)

1. Young Link
2. Sheik (my character of choice in Super Smash Bros and possibly my favorite character in the LoZ game series)
3. Characters from "Up" (Russel, Mr. Frederickson, Doug, to name a few)
4. Zelda (not sure which one yet)
5. Goron (Darunian)
6. Adult Link (probably from OoT)
7. Epona (because Link needs his trustworthy horse)
8. Characters and creatures from Avatar/Legend of Korra
9. Midna (imp form-NO IDEA HOW TO DO HER HELMET YET T_T)
10. Wolf Link
11. Kratos, the one and only god-slayer
12. Sally, Zero, and Oogie-Boogie from "The Nightmare Before Christmas"
13. Mythical creatures, I'm thinking at least a dragon?
14. Something with feathered wings because wings are incredibly fascinating..
15. How can I forget Ganondorf, king of evil.. and Demise, precursor to the king of evil @_@
16. Anatomically-correct teeth, yes, human teeth blown up to plushie size with all the contours of real teeth :D
17. Nermal from the Garfield comics
18. Batman
19. Some kind of wild cat

Ignoring the fact that I seem to be on a LoZ craze and that there are more characters that I've probably forgotten to list, I'm sure this list will keep me busy for several years.  More things shall be tacked on as time progresses and hopefully crossed off as well. ^^

Thanks a lot!! Unfortunately, I'm not. I don't have much time to do commissions so these are usually just gifts to friends and family members.
