My favorite designers are on Ravelry and Etsy. I mostly like amigurumi but fake food is another love. Don't ask, I don't know why. I've also gone on hat and scarf binges. Twinkie Chan is one of my favorites for scarves. You can see her blog here, her Etsy page here, and her book is on Amazon here. Her stuff is super cute and the patterns are very easy to follow. I've made myself the sushi and cookie scarves so far. I get so many comments on the sushi scarf when I wear it, it's so unique.
Another huge favorite is Ana Paula Rimoli. I have all 4 of her books now and everything is just so cute. Her latest book Amigurumi On The Go has some of my favorite patterns. I really love the lunch bags and whale duffle. And who doesn't need a jellyfish purse?
Other designers I like are Needle Noodles, Skymagenta and Melbangel. All can be found on Etsy, all worth taking a look at and all great to buy from!
