About

I'm Lauren, the gal behind A Menagerie of Stitches! I'm a self taught crocheter and a published author of 4 amigurumi books and 1 children's picture book (Whimsical Stitches, Crochet Cafe and Animal Amigurumi Adventures Volume 1&2, and First Words With Cute Crochet Friends. I have a deep love for all things cute and designing amigurumi is one of my very favorite things to do. Besides crocheting, I also enjoy knitting, cross stitching and baking sweet treats. When I'm not crafting or baking, I'm usually on some sort of adventure with my husband, Carl, and our two pups, Thunder and Storm. 

A Menagerie of Stitches first opened back in 2015 and I've been so thrilled to share my love of amigurumi with the world since. My shop has always been dedicated to bringing people the cutest amigurumi toys to gift or keep for themselves. I now offer both finished pieces as well as patterns so you can make your own cuties.
