October 3, 2017 at 1:04 pmCrafty Is Cool, I love Amigurumi. I jokingly call it yarn sculpting. My most recent amigurumi creation is Sonic the Hedgehog He measured 14″. He is the largest scale Amigurumi project I have completed. The boy I made it for loved it. 😀 -Crystal Bz

October 13, 2017 at 9:44 pmI’m so disappointed that I didn’t get to hear this podcast. It only has the first 10 minutes on iTunes. I was really looking forward to listening to Allison’s story. I did check out the Crafty is Cool page though to see some of her work.

October 18, 2017 at 2:58 pmI checked out the Crafty Is Cool website. I love the Easter basket babies and rainbow of yarn wall. Is it mostly of similar weight and fiber type? I tried twice to get the full podcast to play, but could only hear a few minutes.
