 Some new ideas here.............. August 30, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I bought this book not only because I love amigurumi, but because I have 3 boys and they love creepy stuff! I was hesistant to buy this book because all of the patterns have polymer clay eyes, and I have never used polymer clay before. I am one of those people who likes to make the project exactly as it is in the book, so I was unsure if I would be able to make the eyes. So, I went and read up on polymer clay on the internet, and found that it bakes in your home oven and is really easy to use, so I went ahead and bought this book. And I am really glad that I did, because if it were not for this book, I might have never given polymer clay a try....it is really easy to use! I have made all kinds of different eyes, and made the scythe for the grim reaper as well. My next task is to try and make the hair used in this book....the author uses a hairpin lace loom (or fork), which I have never used before, so I am not sure how that will turn out....but it is nice to try something new. So I thank the author for getting me to try some new techniques.
I will say that the majority of the patterns use the same body and head, and are just accessorized a little differently...so most of the projects look very similar. But, I still have enjoyed making them...so far I have made the skeleton and grim reaper. Both were very quick and easy, and the results were just like the book (I have experienced awkward results from other books). It is also great that the projects have charts as well as written instructions....all crochet books should have both.
Well done! (As a side note, at the time of this review this book is unavailable on Amazon, but I found it easily at my local Borders book store, and also saw it sitting on the shelf at Barnes and Noble)
Zombies, and Robots, and Ninja's oh my! May 13, 2008

I picked up this book because I love anything cute, and the creepy was just the right touch. After flipping through the book I decided immediately that I had to buy it, so I could make my fiance a fleet of little cute and creepy figures for his desk at work.
I would recommend this book to any crocheter, beginner's who love a challenge, or long time pro. Quite fun, and much different from what's out there for people who don't always to crochet something traditional...

This is a great little crochet pattern book, chock full of 'creepy-cute' weebles. So far I've only made one, the corporate zombie. The directions overall were clear and easy to understand, the pictures and diagrams are also helpful. I did find the 'hair' a bit tricky but I think I made it right. Certainly, it is less time-consuming than tying hair to the head individually. He was really cute (and creepy).
It would be easy to modify designs and the author encourages it. A friend wants a muay thai zombie, so I'll give it a go. Love the amazon, ninja, nosferatu, cthulhu, and skeleton bride & groom. I also appreciate that the book is hard bound- I plan to use it a lot.
Fantastic!!!! June 16, 2008

This is a fantastic book if you are learning how to crochet amigurumi. Very well explained diagrams which introduce you to the japanese terminology and will help you in your future projects. All designs are perfectly to be done by a beginner and the finished items looks like exactly as the one pictured in the book.
I think is the best book to learn and make amigurumi, but in a creepy way XD
Excellent book!!
Cutethulu April 29, 2008
I was sold on this book because of the Cthulu. It's so freaking adorable! Along with everything else in this book. It's also nice that we get the basic shapes and that she encourages the reader to make their own little creatures.
