How to Make a Stop Motion Animation in less than an Hour
I have a series of random stop motion animations I decided to make using my daughter’s toy furniture sets as props. They were mostly linked in my old blog but I haven’t had much time porting them over or sorting them out yet.

Madeline Tosh Yarn Review!
So I’ve had this great privilege to try out some Madeline Tosh yarn, as well as being featured as their October MT Studio designer. I usually use acrylic yarn and I did try to use wool yarn once and did not have too good an experience, so it was a real eye opener for me to try out MT’s merino wool.

If you happened to miss my pattern tester call, no worries, I have the Bugs Bunny pattern here for free! He works up pretty fast and I did need some additional supplies this time which included some recycled white cloth and a permanent black marker.
Looking for Pattern Testers!

Guys this time it’s more intermediate difficulty and definitely more complex than my Looney Tunes characters. I do include step by step pictorial instructions for the tougher stitches though. But I would highly not recommend to respond to this call out if you are just starting out amigurumi. 😬
