Not Your Mama's Crochet

We want to thank Kathy Kelly over at Arcadia Knitting for this tip. Ace crocheter Beth Doherty‘s work will be featured on the cover of the brand-new Craft Magazine in the fall. But Beth isn’t your typical crocheter, working up granny squares and stitching chemo caps. She makes amigurumi, crocheted dolls with crappy yarn that you find at Walmart, Michael’s and even the thrift stores. (Amiguri is derived from two Japanese words, amu to knit, and nuigurumi, doll).
