 Before we start crocheting let’s get acquainted :)

My name is Evgenia.
Like many other crocheters, I was involved in amigurumi making when I
had been in my maternity leave. I have three years of crochet
experience, and during a half of them I have been designing my own
toys and writing patterns.
Along with the toys making I fell in love with photography. I finished two
educational modules in a photography school. And now I successfully
reconcile two of my passions.
My toys are simple, without complicated details, but still they are very
deep, with their own character and story...
