Synopsis
Amigurumi is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic creatures. Typically they are kooky little animals but they can also be inanimate objects, like vegetables, that are given faces and limbs.
This book will have 20 designs, including animals and inanimate objects. A knitting basics section will provide instructions for all the techniques needed to make the projects.
Biography
Hansi Singh (Seattle, WA) began designing knit amigurumi creatures as playmates for her infant son. Hansigurumi, a shop she opened on Etsy for selling her amigurumi patterns, caught the attention (and needles!) of knitters in the US and abroad, and became an overnight success. Hailed "an amazing up and coming crafter" by CRAFT magazine.

October 04, 2009: Most of the amigurumi patterns I have seen are for crocheting, so I was ecstatic when I saw this book. I haven't tried all of the patterns, but when I started to knit the sea star (which looked relatively easy and uncomplicated), I found errors in the pattern. I was deeply disappointed to find out the author does not have an errata page on her website. She only offers some corrections for the jackalope pattern. I sent her an email a month ago asking for help with the error on the sea star pattern, but she has yet to reply. Needless to say, I wish I hadn't bought this book. It is unfortunate that the author and publisher did not do a thorough job in making sure the patterns were error-free.

August 09, 2009: This book is so much fun! I've made all the vegetables and now everyone wants me to make them a set. I'd really like to progress to making critters, but it looks like I'll be knee deep in carrots and eggplants for the foreseeable future.
