Dasha and Kate, are real-life sisters from Saint Petersburg. They both have higher technical education, but never really got to practice their professions. As youngsters, they enjoyed crafting, drawing and cooking, but they only started crocheting recently because it then became trendy. They tried a lot of different crochet techniques, but amigurumi was the skill that took hold. Kate and Dasha originally started their Instagram account so that they could follow interesting artsy and crafty people - to learn from them and have fun. Despite the word "granny", used on their social media, they did not have any relatives to teach them the crafts. You can see their lovely designs on their Instagram account.

Her delightful dolls, with their own clothing and accessories, have a great place in her collections.

That is when she discovered the world of amigurumi - and it was exactly what she was looking for! Vivyane is a self-taught crocheter who learned through books and videos. It did not take her long to decide that she wanted to create her own designs. Today she collaborates with various craft brands and crochet magazines.
