Crafty Is Cool! – Her podcast was awesome!
I tend to crochet more when it is cool outside.
Crafty is cool! Too bad about the blog but great podcast!
I have Allison Hoffman’s first book AmiguruME and love it. I’m thrilled she has a new book, AmiguruMe Pets awesome. Crafty is cool! and so is Allison. I love her attention to detail for each Amigurume she makes!
Crafty is cool, most definitely! I wonder how cool it is compared to Youtube? (And that probably depends on what generation you ask!)
Craftsy is cool! Thank you for the podcast. It was great!
Crafty is “definitely” cool…Thanks for the podcast!
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
I’m crafty cool…for sure!
Whoo Hooo! Crafty is Cool

Crafty is cool and technical difficulties are not!
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.
The patterns from Crafty is Cool are so cute. The amigurume people are so cool!
Crafty is Cool! Love Allison’s patterns!
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.
Crafty is cool and so is Amigurumi!
Crafty IS Cool! I actually started following her when I saw Quest Love post about her! I love her work!
I love being crafty – crafty is definitely cool. Bummed I couldn’t hear more of this podcast, because I have anew nephew who needs some amigurumi!
