Happy 4th Birthday Mary's Amiland

Mary’s Amiland celebrates its fourth birthday!
I cannot believe another year has gone by and I’m still as passionate about amigurumi as I was at the start.
This year has been a year of consolidation of the know-how built in the past years. I have become more demanding with my patterns and started some challenging projects that will come into life next year.
Yes, the beauty of this art is the opportunity to expand into new venues and learn something new every day.
Thank you all for your support!
Mary

Clio Butterfly the Ami

by Mary’s Amiland, November 2016


I was about to start another project when Clio came along. This cute butterfly has been a nice unexpected surprise to me and I could not help but start working on her straightaway.
Clio has offered to me a chance to experiment shapes and sizes. The hardest part has been to work out the pattern of the wings, believe it or not I felt I was back at school studying geometry.
Now that she stands in front of me I’m amazed by her simplicity. Her smiling face rewards me for the hard work and makes me feel so proud. What I still cannot tell is from where she came, but I guess this is creativity: an unplanned, uncontrolled reflex of your mind, love that so much!

Clio Butterfly pattern was featured in Love Crochet Issue 44, March 2017
