Jacki Donhous latest amigurumi collection animates 15 characters from legends and folklore. Her cute creations include Nessie the Loch Ness Monster, Cerberus, and Medusa the Gorgon, with a couple of classics such as a unicorn and mermaid in the mix. These designs have a skill level of intermediate to advanced, but there is a handy stitches and techniques section to get you started. * Inside Crochet magazine * For her second book of amigurumi, Jacki Donhou turned to the world of mythology and folklore to find inspiration for 15 new characters to make. ...The list includes well-known figures like the Unicorn, Nessie and Mermaid, as well as perhaps more obscure myths, such as the Bavarian woodland Wolpertinger. The detailed designs are full of personality and are sure to fire the imagination of anyone lucky enough to receive one as a gift if you can bear to part with them! Favourite makes include the snake-headed Medusa the Gorgon, the colourful Chinese Dragon and, from Norse folklore, the sea-dwelling Kraken. * Knitting magazine * Crocheted Mythical Creatures includes the most impressive characters I've ever seen. There are 15 different ones and I'm sure you will find one or more of your favorites. My favorites were the Cherry Blossom Dryad and Unicorn. This book is definitely overwhelming and over my head since I'm more of a knitter. But I'm sure if you are an experienced crocheter (is that what they are called?) you could tackle these projects with ease. It is detailed and has a variety of step-by-step photos to help you along the way. I am beyond words for Jacki's expertise. * Sweetly Made Just For You blog * Beautifully illustrated step-by-step instructions guarantee success for even the most novice of crochet beginners with Jacki Donhou's Crocheted Mythical Creatures. Impressively 'user friendly' in organization and presentation, this exceptional and step-by-step guide will prove to be an immediately and enduringly popular addition to personal, professional, and community library Needlecraft/Crochet instructional reference collections. * Mid-West Book Review *
