Event Details

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:  Amigurumi (編みぐるみ, lit. crocheted or knitted stuffed toy) is the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small, stuffed yarn creatures. The word is a portmanteau of the Japanese words ami, meaning crocheted or knitted, and nuigurumi, meaning stuffed doll.[1] In the west they are called amigurumi, which are the original phonetics of 編みぐるみ in Japanese language.[2] Amigurumi vary in size and there are no restrictions about size or look.[3] While the art of amigurumi has been known in Japan for several decades, the craft first started appealing to the masses in other countries, especially in the West, in 2003.[4] By 2006, amigurumi were reported to be some of the most popular items on Etsy, an online craft marketplace, where they typically sold for $10 to $100.[4] Since then, popularity has continued to increase.[5]
