NewNeedlepoint.com just had it’s 3rd birthday. I am sometimes amazed that we made it this far. I keep making changes and tweaking my web store. I want it to be the best it can be.

NewNeedlepoint.com has 2 sections. There is my extensive collection of New Needlework books. I have expanded the books categories to cover other types of stitching in addition to Needlepoint.

There are knitting & crochet books, embroidery & cross-stitch books, color use & theory books and the catch-all misc. books category.

My Rare/Used Book titles are dictated by the books my customers want and the books that I can get, in reasonable condition. It is getting difficult to find decent, salable old books. Some of the Rare Books are getting quite hard to find.

I have also expanded the Rare/Used books categories to cover other types of Needlework.

I specialize in Bargello Needlepoint books although there aren’t that many of them out there, used or new.

The other side of NewNeedlepoint.com is the Canvases & Kits I sell. I stock mostly hand painted needlepoint designs by some of today’s great Needlepoint Designers. I have a special category for the gorgeous & colorful work of Laurel Burch.

I also have a good collection of Patt & Lee’s superior Glicee’ needlepoint designs including a whole section of Patt’s Scrap Threads collection. The perfect way to use all that extra stash we all have.

I assemble the kits myself, from the threads I love to stitch with. I use Anchor & DMC Perle Cotton Floss in sizes 3, 5 & 8. Also Kreinik Metallic Braid Thread in sizes 12 & 16.

I have a small Needlework Tool collection, all of it things I use and know work well.

I want to thank all my customers for 3 great years, so far. This coming year should be as interesting as the last 3 have been.

You Are Here: Home  •  NEW Knitting (& Crochet) Books  •  Amigurumi Animals by Annie Obaachan
Amigurumi Animals by Annie Obaachan
Price: $20.00
* Quantity:  
* = Required Field
subtitled: 15 patterns and dozend of techniques for creating cute crochet creatures.

Quoting the back cover: " Amigurumi is the Japanese art of making stuffed crochet animals" blah blah " These toys can be as simple or as complex as the maker likes-ranging from a tiny penguin to an elaborate textured elephant. The book provides all the information you need to get started, with tips on choosing yarns and needles and instructions on core techniques."

" All of the animals can be created using key shapes such as spheres, eggs, cylinders and flat circles which are quick and easy to stitch and put together"

"Includes clear step-by-step instructions".

In paging through this book, even a non-crocheter like me can see these designs are not difficult to make and the instructions are clear, if you understand knit & crochet language. There are tons of pictures, all in full color and the drawn diagrams are good size, not confusing.

These are very cute animals and your colors are only limited by the color that wool comes in. I don't know if you can crochet these from cotton thread as well, but I bet you can.

Published in the USA by St Martins Publishing in 2008. This is a glossy cover paperbound book with 128 pages.


Selling New Books is very different from selling my used, hard-to-find or rare books. New books have a set retail price and I have to compete in the “marketplace”.

NewNeedlepoint.com will be charging the full retail price for these fine new books but I will mail them for free. Please consider the Free Shipping as a Discount.
