Having spent many years earning my living designing printed textiles I found myself feeling restless and in need of some new challenges and so started casting around for a change of career.

A family which was growing up fast meant more time on my hands and gave me the opportunity to experiment with other forms of textiles such as knitting, felting, spinning, and - last to add to my list of newly acquired skills, crochet. Finding a deeper satisfaction in making things by hand instead of painting patterns for mass production I decided that it was time to drop the security of my previous job and start a new adventure.

So, named after my rescue cat Mojo, my shop was born. I opened Moji-Moji Design in October 2011 but have to admit it took me a whole year and a month to pluck up enough courage to list my first pattern! I'm so glad I finally jumped in and did it. I enjoy designing and making amigurumis so much I can't wait to get up in the morning and start a new day filled with yarn and hooks and all my funny crocheted creatures.

Thanks for stopping by. I hope you have as much fun making your own amigurumis from my patterns as I had designing them!
