Ana Paula Rimoli http://amigurumipatterns.blogspot.com/ - Why do you love designing amigurumi crochet patterns? I have two little girls (Oli's 6 and Martina's 2), and a husband, and a dog! So I really don't have much time (or patience) for long projects. I like amigurumi because they're fast to make, and a great way of using up leftover yarn, plus they're super cute.
-Is it difficult?
Not really, al you need to know is simple crochet, and simple increasing and decreasing. With a little practice anyone can make them.
-Is it good for health? I think so, it's very calming to just sit around with a hook some yarn and think about toys!
-Where have you learnt this technique? I learned to crochet when I was 6 or 7. A neighbor taught me back in Montevideo, Uruguay, where I'm from.
-Can you explain us something about the origins of this Japanese technique? I guess crocheters have been making toys for a long while. The particular thing about amigurumi is that they're crocheted in simple crochet and all in the round, without joining rounds. They usually have big heads and eyes and are super kawaii!
-This issue of Yareah magazine is dedicated to the Romanticism, can you show us your most Romantic work and explain us its meaning? I think pretty much all my amigurumi are romantic, in the sense that they're not too "rational", and help me use my imagination without any established rules or realism... I've made crocheted eggs with eyes and smiles, and little houses and happy worms in their apple homes :). But my little Valentine Bears would be the most romantic looking pair in the most widely use of the word. I made them for Valentine's day a couple of years ago.
