We’ve been knitting quite a couple of baby products – baby Mary Janes, baby beanies, baby sweater, etc. It’s good picking up our knitting needles once again after our “amigurumi fever”, hehehehe.

Sending out these cuties in the mail in the next few days.

Blue & White Baby Mary Janes

Gray Mouse Ears Beanie

They are gifts from one of our customers to her beloved nephew – who is a fighter having to go through a heart surgery at 2 weeks old because he wiggled out of his mummy’s womb earlier than his due date! Naughty little buddy but I’m sure he’s well loved by everyone around him.

We wish him good health, lots of love, lots and lots of giggles and bubbles and happy thoughts everyday!

Little one, hope these will keep you warm, not only physically, but at heart this winter =)

Lots of love,

The Purl Shop

I initially had the idea of creating an openable egg shell, of which you can place candies or chocolate treats inside. Unfortunately, the egg shell didn’t turn out as firm as I expected it to be so I had to make and place something inside that would hold the shells together. At last, I decided that a little chick will make this gift incredibly cute.

So, if you would love to give your friends and family something different for Easter this year, why not get the Amigurumi Easter Eggs from The Purl Shop? They do last longer than chocolates, you know, and they don’t give you tooth decay :P

Size: Approximately 8cm tall (with shell), 6.5cm (little chick itself)

Material: Pure wool + ribbon

Price: AUD$8 (excluding postage)

Since Easter is three months away, we will place this entry on top of our blog for the next three months up till Easter Day itself. New entries will be below this post so don’t forget to scroll down for updates! We already have a few more products coming up

Merry Christmas everyone! How was your Christmas this year? We got a little busy towards Christmas this year because we received two orders from a lovely friend! She bought the Christmas series and 10 amigurumi birds for her colleagues. I went to Spotlight the next day after she placed her order to look  for different colors of yarns. Finished crocheting 10 amigurumi birds in two nights! That was some intensive crocheting, haha.

Fortunately, the parcel reached her just in time before Christmas arrives! She sent me the photo above on the day she received the parcel. She had one of the birds trapped in a little jar, how cute!

Hope you all enjoyed your Christmas! And if we don’t update before New Year’s, here’s to wishing you all a very Happy New Year! Happy 2011!

Hope you’ll enjoy our whole new range of festive amigurumi available in store now.

We hope you are excited because thepurlshop is thrilled to introduce our first Amigurumi Kokeshi doll couple.

Presenting Mr Takahashi and Miss Reika, all dressed up and ready to go out one a date.

Here’s a little background story on how I was inspired to make these Kokeshi dolls. Being brought up in an Asian country, I have always dreamed of going to Japan. I have seen numerous breathtaking pictures of the Sakura tree (cherry blossom tree) during the spring season. I have heard of many wonderful stories of Japan. The people, the food, the culture, the technology, and of course, the fashion (although I must say I am more inclined to the traditional Kimono rather than the Harajuku style). Kimono is a Japanese traditional garment worn by women, men and children (Source: Wikipedia). All these research on Kimono is making me dying to get one for myself but I found out that a traditional Kimono can easily cost $10,000 to $20,000!!!

I really admire the Kimono. Making these Kokeshi dolls amigurumi allows me to expand my creativity in designing the kimonos for the dolls.

I realise that we’re already in the last quarter of 2010 and year end is usually a popular time for people to tie the knot. Hence, this couple would be a great wedding gift if you have friends who will be getting married. We can customize it to the color you desire and embroider the couple’s initial on the dolls.

Size:

Mr Takahashi is approximately 5 inches tall

Miss Reika is approximately 5 inches tall 

Get Mr Takahashi and Miss Reika for AUD$25 (excluding postage) or get them individually for AUD$15 (excluding postage).

Using European yarn (Made in Italy).

Detailed view.

We chose green this time around because it is suitable for The Purl Shop lovers both in the Northern and Southern hemispheres.

For those of you in the Northern hemisphere, green adds a little liveliness to your Autumn season. Green complements yellow & red autumn leaves so well!

For those of you in the Southern hemisphere, as green represents new life, green is the perfect color to wear in Spring!

We had a little fun with the scarf this time and took photos of the various ways you can mix this scarf with your wardrobe.

With a simple single coloured tee.

With a bright coloured knitwear.

With a cropped blazer and a pair of floral shorts.

Length: 1.8 metres

Width: 14cm

Price: AUD$39 (excluding postage)

Hope you enjoyed our update this week! Remember to drop by next week for more! =)

We know it has been quite a while since we made a scarf. Fret not, this Spring, we have knitted this scarf…

It’s time to put away your winter clothes and wear something more colorful. Personally, I consider scarf as a necessity and it is easy to match a scarf with almost any outfit. You can wear a scarf with a pair of jeans, shorts, skirt, dresses, formal or even casual.

We made this scarf in shades of pink and purple because these colors just POP while we were choosing the yarns. It is as though we could hear them screaming out to us “Pick me! Pick me!” If you do not want to look dull in your black and white work clothes or maybe your outfit for the day just lacks that little something, simply throw in this pretty pink and purple scarf and you are good to go!

Another reason to love this scarf to bits is the quality of the yarn. The scarf is 100% handmade from European yarn made in Italy, promising to give your skin the softest touch.

Pamper yourself or your loved one today with this handmade Strawberry Fields scarf from The Purl Shop!
