<div class="fsm fwn fcg">From <a href="http://www.wikipedia.org/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a>, the free encyclopaedia</div>Amigurumi (編みぐるみ, lit. crocheted or knitted stuffed toy) is the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan">Japan</a>ese art of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knit">knit</a>ting or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crochet">crochet</a>ing small <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stuffed_animal">stuffed animal</a>s and anthropomorphic creatures. The word is derived from a combination of the Japanese words <i>ami</i>, meaning crocheted or knitted, and <i>nuigurumi</i>, meaning stuffed doll. Amigurumi are typically animals, but can include artistic renderings or inanimate objects endowed with anthropomorphic features, as is typical in Japanese culture.<br />
<br />
I discovered Amigurumi, and totally fell in love! After making 4 from free patterns, I started designing my own. hope you enjoy them.<br />

Candlewicking is a type of embroidery done on 100-percent cotton unbleached muslin, which has not been preshrunk.<br />
The candlewicking fabric is washed after stitching; the shrinking of the muslin will not only hold the knots, but it also will give the puckered look of traditional candlewicking.<br />
