This one came not from my editing but from my husband, who produced this yesterday.
Amigurumi hasn’t reached the main online dictionaries yet, but a Google search currently returns over 45 million hits. It’s defined in Wikipedia as the Japanese art of knitting or crocheting small, stuffed yarn creatures. The word is apparently a portmanteau (combination) of the Japanese words “ami” (crocheted or knitted) and “nuigurumi” (stuffed doll).
