Crochet cuddly toys with lots of love: Collaboration with Anne from @nadelkunst.handmade

I love handicrafts and am happy that I now inspire so many people with my designs. On my account, you can see cute pictures for inspiration, crochet patterns, and very soon finished animals to buy as well. I simply want to live out my creativity and am happy to pass that enthusiasm on to others.

My name is Annemarie, but everyone calls me Anne. I have been happily married for 5 years and am the mom of three wonderful children. We live by beautiful Lake Altmühl, and I love this location. With three children, it is rarely quiet at our house, so I enjoy crocheting all the more in the evenings. It helps me switch off. I searched for the right hobby for a long time and definitely found it. My family always comes first, so I spend as much time as possible with my loved ones!

Probably like many others. During pregnancy, I browsed Pinterest a little for baby accessories and came across a cute mobile. Then I decided I could make that myself too and immediately ordered crochet hooks and yarn. Since then, I have crocheted almost every day.

I like looking at cute drawings. Then I usually have a very clear picture in my head and start crocheting right away. While crocheting, I type up the pattern and take my detail photos directly. Most of the time, I am happy with the first attempt and only need to change a little. Once the pattern is typed, the pictures are edited and inserted, and then it goes straight to testing. My crochet team is always ready right away and then tests the pattern.

Phew... that is a really difficult question! I can only estimate. I have posted around 350 posts on Instagram, so I would definitely estimate 400 - 500 amigurumi.

Since I have 3 small children at home, I usually only have time to crochet in the evenings.

Yes, I can knit a little, but so far I only know the basics. I have not knitted a larger project yet, but I would very much like to keep learning.

That’s enough for me. I’m off to crochet!

Practice makes perfect: just start and stick with it.

A little blue bunny for my nephew’s birthday. He still has it :)

I love Funny uni and have actually been using it for a very long time. It does not shed too much and is lovely and smooth to work with. I am thrilled with the result every time!

You can find all my patterns in my Etsy shop.

I was very happy about the collaboration with you and think it is great that I can give something back to all crochet fans as a thank-you. Of course, I am happy about every Milly Mouse that is made and wish you lots of fun crocheting!

Thank you so much, dear Anne, for your dedication! Thank you for your lovingly designed crochet pattern and your personal story about crocheting. We are already looking forward to a huge Milly Mouse family.
