About Our Business
Handcrafted Treasures, Made with Heart
At Critters & Carryalls by Lami, every stitch tells a story. What began as a love for crochet grew into a creative journey rooted in texture, detail, and thoughtful handmade design. Today, the shop features whimsical amigurumi crochet animals alongside carefully crafted crochet carryalls and accessories—each piece made with intention, care, and personality.
Every item is handmade in small batches in Florida, with a focus on creating pieces that feel warm, distinctive, and built to last.
What We Create
We specialize in two distinct categories of handcrafted goods:
🧸 Amigurumi Critters
Decorative and collectible crochet animals designed to add warmth, character, and a touch of whimsy to shelves, desks, and display spaces.
👜 Crochet Carryalls & Accessories
Functional, thoughtfully designed purses, totes, baskets, iPhone and iPad cases, and water bottle holders—created for everyday use with an emphasis on texture, durability, and style.
Each piece is carefully handmade using high-quality yarns, including soft plush chenille-style fibers and durable mercerized cotton blends that help maintain structure over time. No mass production—just patient craftsmanship from start to finish.
Meet the Studio Assistants 🐾
Every item is created in a clean, smoke-free, dog-friendly home studio with help from three enthusiastic Australian Shepherd assistants:
Cooper, Tucker, and Patches
While they specialize mostly in supervising yarn selection and morale support, all finished items are carefully stored before shipping.
Why We Create
We believe handmade pieces carry a distinct sense of character and individuality. Each critter features its own subtle personality, and each carryall showcases carefully chosen textures and finishes.
Our work is guided by patience, creativity, and an appreciation for the artistry of crochet—resulting in pieces that feel personal, thoughtful, and truly one-of-a-kind.
