designing a monster. little lulu.

hello there.
meet my first monster, lulu.

i'm pretty proud of her. i made her from my own sketch using the amigurumi design tools i learned in the Amigurumi: Design Your Own Monster class on Craftsy by Stacey Trock (FreshStitches).

i have really enjoyed Stacey's amigurumi design class so far and i love that it never expires so i can go back again and again if i need to refresh on any of the info. the craftsy platform is awesome and probably warrants it's own review post... if you haven't checked it out, you should! you can ask questions during the class, take notes, post photos within the class and then upload your projects to the main galleries.

Stacey's Amigurumi: Design Your Own Monster class is really great. as a teacher she is clear in her directions and offers so many great tips and techniques. she takes you through the design process from sketch to hook to stuffing & finishing and gives you the basic foundation to create your own bodies, arms, legs, eyes, ruffles, and more!

i have found the information in the class invaluable and have been busily sketching and crocheting away all weekend!

love.
