Description:
I'm just starting to learn how to make amigurumi, and I'm loving it! I've never crocheted before so I have no experience at all! In this swap, you will send one amigurumi to one partner. It can be anything you like - based on their profile if you like but it doesn't have to be. It can be from a free pattern. This swap is for beginners, but of course, anybody can join, even if you've been crocheting for years. I'm making it a beginners swap so that there are no expectations - it doesn't matter how wonky your ami is, this is to help you learn! If you need any pointers, check out this thread on the forums. The rules: Newbies must have a filled out profile and contact me before joining this swap. I will consider everyone individually. ratings 4.8 and above (unless you contact me with a good reason for a lower rating, I will consider everyone individually) No no sends (1 ratings) or partial sends (3 ratings) in the last 6 months. If you feel you have been rated unfairly, please contact me. International

Thanks for the tip, Mojo! I'm excited to sign up, because I just got this book for my birthday and I can't wait to try it out. :D

I made an amigurumi primer to provide lots of ideas and links for those just getting into the craft. =)

That's fantastic, thanks rengawk!!

Also, if the pattern calls for a magic ring, you can replace it with ch2 and then the number of sc in the first ring into the second ch... I find that easier and although its not adjustable, you don't get a hole!

Thanks for welcoming me to the swap! I love to make these, and can make nearly anthing you might like. Notice I said nearly........;-)

I find you have the most fun with these swaps if people don't specifically ask for something and you just pick something you think they might like...asking for something just lowers the surprise and anticipation. Anyone else feel like this?

Oh, I got excited and made mine already :). It didn't occur to me that there may be a request! It's my first though, so I'll try to make a nicer one for the swap!
