Hi! I’m Lauren Espy, the gal behind A Menagerie of Stitches and now also A Menagerie of Stitches blog! I’m a self taught crocheter and a published author. 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 and embroidery. When I’m not crafting, 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 then. 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. I am also now offering free amigurumi patterns right here on A Menagerie of Stitches Blog!
Please keep checking back for new exciting things as I navigate this new endeavor! Or be one of the first to know what’s going on by signing up for my newsletter here!

Lauren
