Emilio Monkey the Ami

This monkey was a little devil as I worked on his design, I cannot tell how many times I remade some of his parts. I was so much frustrated with this character that I was on the edge to hide him in my projects bag and forget him for good.

Now that he sits in front of me with that mischief face, I feel overcome with joy and pride. I’m totally in love with Emilio, he is such an handsome guy and his smile is irresistible.

Emilio was featured in Simply Crochet, Issue 102 in September 20

Arthur Monkey The Ami

by Mary’s Amiland, November 2015


Arthur Monkey is one of the two characters I made for the Circus Design Contest held in November this year.
As soon as I came to know about the contest I started working on Arthur, his character was designed over a week end but took almost a month to finalize all the details. I have redone him many times before getting to his final version. I wanted something original but not too exotic.
I’m so proud how he performed at the contest, he did not win but came in a very good position for as much as I’m concerned.
