AmiguruMay Day 3: Introduce yourself! Hi! I’m Sarah. I’ve already introduced myself a little on this account, but why not do it again? So here’s goes: I’m a crocheter as I bet you’ve noticed, but I’ve also been a cross-stitcher, sewist, and oil painter. To pay my bills, I’m a library worker (and I love it!) but I’ve also been a tattoo artist, book editor, and makeup artist. I have a degree in Creative Writing with a minor in Art History. My favorite music genre is citypop and yacht rock and my favorite band is ABBA. As you can see, I’m not great at staying on top of what’s trendy or cool. My favorite Muppet is Rizzo the rat. My first Neopet (R.I.P.) was a yellow Kau named Brandy. I met my husband on Tinder; it’s the best thing the internet has ever done for me. We have two beautiful cats. My senior cat Penny has four teeth and drools and loves watching history docs with her dad. Juniper was named after Junie B. Jones because she’s also a menace (and was adopted on June 1st) and she loves supervising me in the craft room. I cried the first time I played Pikmin and a Pikmin died (I didn’t know they could die that’s fucked up they’re just little guys.) My personal style has been described by multiple people as “kindergarten art teacher.” That’s all I can think of for now! But yeah, that’s the person behind this silly lil account 🌷✨ . . . . . . . . #amigurumi #amigurumay #amigurumayday3 #daythree #day3 #introduceyourself #meetthemaker #crochet #crocheter #crochetersofinstagram #amigurumay2025 #amigurumayday3

The pattern for Caroline the crow is out now! Her pattern is over on @littleforestmakes Etsy (where there is a lovely little sale going on by the way 👀) Amanda absolutely outdid herself with this one. Her patterns are all precious, but this one has my heart! Working on this beautiful lady gave me my crojo back. 🥹 Beautiful work as always, @littleforestmakes 🩷 Thank you so much for letting me test Caroline 🐦‍⬛✨ . . . . . . . #amigurmi #patterntest #crochet #patternrelease #crow

AmiguruMay Day 14: Mini or Mega? I think it’s safe to say I prefer my amigurumi BIG! I love large projects. The bigger the project, the more details I can add. This big sweetheart is Baba and her grumpy bird friend Yaga. I made her last year with no intention of writing a pattern for her, but sometimes I think about revisiting her. She’s one of my favorite things I’ve ever made and I love her too much to ever part with her so she’ll always stay on my shelves, keeping me company. . . . . . . . . . #amigurumay2026 #amigurumi #babayaga #crochet #crochetersofinstagram

AmiguruMay day 8: My Signature. I think my signature when it comes to amigurumi is my eye for details! I love using different textures and materials in a piece to really give the amigurumi character. Celine here might be my favorite out of all my dolls. Don’t tell the others…but I love her big skirt tassels and the stars in her hair and her moon necklace. I think she’d be a night owl and stay up late to star gaze and watch magical girl anime in peace. It’s the little details that make the piece! I want all of my crochet projects to be one of a kind and I love stretching my creative muscles to add just the right details. It also gives me a reason to hoard trim, ribbons, charms, and buttons. It pays to be a craft hoarder! Celine is my own pattern (the fully customizable Forest Folks doll pattern) which you can find on my Etsy ❤️ . . . . . . . . . . #amigurumay2026 #amigurumi #crochet #crocheter #ooak

AmiguruMay Day 7: Market or Collect? I’ve never done a market and I doubt I ever will! I love making amigurumi and most of the pieces I make would be much too expensive to bring to market. So they stay on my shelves to keep my craft room cozy or they end up in the homes of friends, family, and coworkers. I love seeing my shelves get full of amigurumi and seeing my tastes and techniques change over time. Seeing crocheters bring their craft to markets is so fun though so I do need y’all to keep up the good work on that front so I can continue living vicariously through y’all ✨ . . . . . . . . . . #amigurumi #amigurumay2026 #amigurumay #collection #crochet

Happy pattern release day, @creationsbyregan ✨ I had the pleasure of testing little Lily the baby dragon and I just adore her! I went for an ocean theme for my Lily. She’s works up so quickly and easily I cannot recommend this crochet pattern enough. Regan did a fabulous job with this pattern and it’s out today so you can go grab yourself a copy of her pattern ☺️💙 . . . . . . . . . . . . . #amigurumi #crochetpatterntest #patterntester #patternrelease #crochet
