Be prepared today for too much Amineko cuteness! First up Rorschach Amineko got a chance to meet Suede from Project Runway at the Simplicity booth at this past week's big Craft and Hobby Association industry trade show. As it turns out, they both have cute heart tattoos on their arms! Suede has a line of patterns that sound just fabulous to work with as they range in style to suit your personal fashion sense. Check out a video where Suede talks about them over at the Craft Test Dummies blog.
But wait, if that cuteness wasn't enough, our wonderful friend from down under, Sean at Lincraft Australia, sent in photos of the antics Banjo, Marmalade and Mischief Amineko have been up to!
This is Banjo and Marmalade Amineko from Lincraft Australia.

Banjo fancies himself as an MD one day.
Meditation leads to enlightenment.
No one pulls the wool over Mischief's eyes.
Mischief dreams of a blues brother.
Mischief loves to Tweet.
I don't know which is more fun, crocheting Aminekos or posing them for fun photos. If you think both sound like a good time, grab yourself a copy of Hello My Name is Amineko and start having your own fun!

Hello My Name is Amineko follows the journey of Amineko the Crochet Cat and his crocheted friends as they eat, sleep, and have lots of fun and adventures. The book comes with complete step-by-step photography and instructions for creating an Amineko of your very own and personalizing this cute cat with different facial expressions, clothing, and even bedding. Hundreds of color photographs tell the adorable tales, and mischief, that Amineko and his friends find themselves in, with complete instructions for knitting adventures of your own.
Born in Tokyo 1967, Nekoyama has been a life-long lover of cats. Cats and their endearing mischief have never failed to cheer her up. She created her first Amineko by accident and has never looked back. Today, she and her husband are the proud parents of many Aminekos. Nekoyama’s first book, A Day In the Life of Amineko, was published in Japan in 2005.
