Yes, the "Wizard " is Here!
I am really excited that my second amigurumi book* " Crochet Stories: L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" will be coming out tomorrow, May 17, 2017! The book is part of Dover Publishing's fantastic Crochet Story series. Each book contains the text for the original story, as well as many easy -to- follow crochet patterns for adorable crocheted figurines. Among my favorites are the Winged Monkey, Glinda the Good Witch, and the Yellow Brick Road. This book would be a great present for any "Wizard" fan, as well as for any crocheter. The amigurumi patterns are a great way to use up stash , or small amounts of yarn, and the figures are so much fun to create.
You can purchase this fun book at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Target, Dover Publishing, among other sellers. And- spoiler- If you have never read the book, you may be interested to find out that Dorothy's slippers are SILVER, not ruby! Apparently the silver slippers didn't show up on camera, due to the technology that was in use at the time the movie was created, so the decision was made to put ruby slippers on Judy Garland!
The charming photographs are the work of Charles Young, who is an extremely gifted, and patient, photographer.
*Yes, this is my second amigurumi book. Some time in between "Yarn Whirled- Fairy tales, Fables , and Folklore", and "Crochet Stories: L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz", the publication date for "Crocheted Stories: Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland"(published by Dover Publishing) snuck up and arrived with little fanfare on this blog.
Also, this book has a pattern for a Dodo bird and a crocheted tea set!
However, for my Alice in Wonderland amigurumi fans, the bonus is that you will not have a long wait before the publication of my next book. In fact, it is coming out tomorrow : ) Silver linings!

You can purchase this fun book at Amazon, Barnes and Noble,and Dover Publishing, along with other sellers.I had so much fun crafting crocheted figures. It was a departure from my more time consuming sweater designs, and it was so enjoyable. I hope you will find these books to be equally entertaining!
