Description:

For this swap you will use one of Aranzi Aronzo's books to create a japanese-style stuffie or doll. You will look at your partner's profile and decide what they might like.

If you don't aleady have the book(s), you can get them all at Barnes and Nobles--sometimes the other sellers on there have them for less than $10--or even do as some did last time and borrow them from the library. I'm obsessed with this stuff and now have the whole craft collection!

The Cute Book

Cute Dolls

Fun Dolls

Baby Stuff

Cute Stuff

@piggybaby made me the cutest "bad girl" last time using her own choice of fabric. If you would like your's to be as close to the original as possible, please post below. It's also sender's choice as to which they would like to make. Please make one of the bigger ones--not a mascot. Have fun!!

Ratings of 4.5 and above only. No no-sends within the last six months. Please only join this swap if you intend to rate your partner. I hate to crack the whip, but please have a full profile and log in at least two weeks before the sign up deadline. Don't be a Hater (Flaker)!

I posted this in the forum. I just wanted you all to know that if you are unable to purchase the books, they may be available at your local library. They are at mine. I copied the patterns I wanted and then returned the books. :) altho, I do want to own every single one of these books. :)

oh yay!!! The last time one of these happened I was new and didn't have any ratings. Now I've got a few mailed swaps under my belt and I am so excited! I love Aranzi Aranzo!!! I also can't wait to see others' creations.

you can search for aranzi aronzo pictures on internet. There are some pages of the books that you can copy. I know this site has some: www.fredflare.com I can't join yet. I'll buy the books and learn how to knit in the future. I hope you make this swap more times.

What a great idea! i have the Cute Stuff and Cute Book! i'd love an excuse to get the Baby Stuff book too.

one question: what size should they be? the patterns in the Cute Book make 3-inch mascots, but the Cute Dolls are so much bigger. i'd hate to send a 6-8 inch stuffie and get back a tiny felt mascot! i'll be watching this swap until the date gets closer, too.

If this is going to be a series, I'll definitely join one somewhere along the line! :)

Mywindowtoyours 04/15/2009 #

Hurray! I was waiting for something like this. I will definitely be joining closer to the deadline.

DosLittleMonkeys 04/16/2009 #

I forgot to say that it should the bigger sized ones, not the mascots...Off to edit now...

I love these books! I can't believe there's a swap for them!! I'm so excited!

I love Aranzi Aronzo! I have been pouring over my two...the baby one and whatever the red covered one is..I don't even know the name because it's been open most of the time... haha!

hippofairy 05/15/2009 #

i've just ordered the baby book! :) i can't wait for it to come so i can make a stuffie!

zorropirate 05/20/2009 #

I just requested two of the books from my library, this will be fun! I can't wait to check it all out. :)

DosLittleMonkeys 05/27/2009 #

By the way, I did not enlarge the patterns last time I made one and it still came out really cute.

I got my book today "Cute Dolls".. and my pocket book would like to say "thanks a lot!!" for giving me another obsession LOL

DosLittleMonkeys 05/28/2009 #

Anytime! :) I don't have the baby one. I have really had to restrain myself...

PinkLotus 05/28/2009 #

I haven't made dolls in a long while (I sortof abandoned it to do other things).. and this has me excited about them again.. I need to check out my library - they can get any book I want thru some sort of interlibrary loan.. eventually I will own them though - I love just looking thru them.

PinkLotus 05/28/2009 #

Ok here's my question - are we ALL supposed to blow up to the suggested size? My hubby just got back with one that I had blown up 150%.. and it's way bigger than what I thought.. I wanted to make sure that the size I send out is comparable to everyone else's.

CraftDiva4 05/30/2009 #

Just picked up cute dolls today...so count me in!

DosLittleMonkeys 05/30/2009 #

No, I don't think it's necessary to blow them up. They are a better size to mail if they are not so big.

PinkLotus 05/31/2009 #

Ok that works for me.. can't wait to get my partner's info to get started :-)

Doodlebabe 05/31/2009 #

This looks so cute but I have to restrain myself from this one for now. Please do it again, it looks awesome!
