I just added a new section, "Online Stores" and in it is a link to a wonderful new store, Suncatcher Eyes.
Suncatcher Eyes sells "hand-painted acrylic eyes for bears, soft toys, and amigurumi." Each eye is hand-painted by Michelle who began painting her own eyes after struggling to find the perfect eye colors and sizes.
She offers dozens of colors, sizes, and styles including: 6mm - 20mm, basic colors, metallic colors, stripes, pinwheels, sleepy eyes, and cat eyes all perfect for the toy patterns found here.

You will also find free patterns (I have added all of the links to the free patterns in their specific categories) as well as amigurumi noses and patterns for sale. My favorites are the Ogilvy Dolls!

So, go check it out. After you do, why not let Michelle know you read about her on this site :)
My favorite category! I can't wait to give these a try.

Patterns for sale on Etsy:
Well as you can see the site has remained the same. The consensus from everyone was to leave it alone, so that is exactly what I did. I do want to point out a few minor changes that I did make.
The first change was to add a few more links under the "Helpful Hints" section. All of these items used to be lumped together under one link, but now each item is broken down separately. So, if you want to find Japanese pattern help you just need to click on that link instead of having to search for it.
I have started to mark the patterns that are in a foreign language by including the language in parenthesis next to the link. I am slowly making my way back through all of the categories to label those as well, but if you come across one please shoot me an email. It might take me awhile to get through all of them!
I am also going to try to find some sort of foreign language pattern help for every language that appears here. I am not sure if this exists, but we'll see. If you know of anything like this please let me know.
There are three new categories as well: hearts, doll clothes, and jewelry. If there are any other categories you would like to see just email me. I have tried, for the most part, to keep everything doll/toy oriented, but if there is something else you would like I can definitely add it.
Here is to a happy, healthy, and super crocheting 2008!
