    Crafty 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

    Crafty is Cool is amazing and her work is wonderful! Thanks for making everything work so we could get to know her in spite of Blog Talk failing.

  3. DeeAnn says:

    Crafty is Cool and Allison’s creations are quite amazing! Her Spring Fairy House is so charming, I might have to learn crochet.
    Thanks, Marly, for featuring another new artist.

    I’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.

  5. Mary Alice says:

    I 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.
