Description:

Amigurumi is defined as “the trend of knitting or crocheting small stuffed animals and anthropomorphic (human-like) creatures.” It is a Japanese word that is a combination of ami, meaning crochet or knitted, and nuigurumi, meaning stuffed doll. In other words, it’s a fancy term for crocheting stuffed animals/dolls. EDITED: Yes, you can knit or crochet for this swap!

I've never created one before and have wanted to try it. This swap will be sender's choice. If you are skilled - great! If you are new, like me, there are lots of resources and videos, listed below, to get you started You can begin before partners are assigned. Please do your best work and make something you would like to receive.

I am making this swap US due to postage costs. Please feel free to host an international swap if you desire one.

Sent a message to my partner @MSturgill to let her know I”m shipping a bit late due to a delay on my end and her absence from her address when I ship. The date I marked sent is the date I mailed.

My sender @Shortkaike contacted me June 18 to let me know she'd be sending on June 20 due to a sudden change in work schedule. Thanks for the heads up!

Sigh - returned to me for postage even though I weighed it and had enough postage. Informed recipient. Will send using Priority Mail. Tracking # will be sent to her.
