Anything you want but please put some time and effort into it, something you would like to receive yourself.

I plan on doing a "Crochet Me...." swap as time allows me with different small-ish items each time. I have a list started. If you want to post suggestions in the comment section, please do so. If it's not on my list, then I'll add it! (SIDE NOTE ~ I wanted to do this swap every couple of months, but that didn't happen. Hopefully I can get it back on track!)

This is a USA swap only. Feel free to host your own international one.

ALSO - there are a couple of swappers that sometimes join my swap that are from Canada, but have a USA address too....PLEASE CHECK YOUR PARTNERS PROFILE

Newbies to swap-bot, who can crochet are welcomed, with a well filled out profile (I DO CHECK AND WILL BAN). No recent/unexplained low ratings. PLEASE check out my profile page and read the "About Swaps I Host" section for an in-depth explaination of my swap rules.

Also ~ I live in "Boonyville" Michigan and sometimes our internet connection isn't very good. This is especially true when it rains & in the winter months. I have been told that swap hosts have 7 days after the sign up date to assign partners. So please be patient, partners will get assigned and if needed I will extend the send date.

If you know of a bad swapper signed up for this swap, I appreciate being informed, but please DO NOT post to the comment section! Send me a PM and I will deal with it that way.

Does anyone know where to get the eyes like this little guy has? I've checked the craft stores that I have available...Hobby Lobby, Joann's and Mary Maxim and none of them have the eye/beads like these.

I get them online. Ebay, but Amazon or other places might have them, too.

My hobby lobby has them on the row with the doll and teddy bear stuff- no where near the yarn.

@marinda - thanks, I'll check there...have a link you could send to me?

@davisbabe - Our Hobby Lobby doesn't carry them. I checked and even had 3 employees helping me and none of them had even heard of these kinds of beads. I even had a picture or this little guy to show them. Apparently I'm the only person n the Thumb of MI that wants to crochet Amigurumi!

Here's where I get all my craft eyes etc. Https://www.consumercrafts.com. Sorry I can't do the hyper link.

debbiespoms 09/21/2016 #

Oh, what size will the Ami be?

institches 09/22/2016 #

Thanks for the link @debbiespoms and a good question. I was thinking small, probably no more than 4 or 5 inches tall.

I just got these safety eyes on Amazon. A bunch of different sizes and also some in different colors - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00RXVFQ26/ref=ohauidetailpageo01s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

@institches - I literally just made amigurumi for the first time this week. I've only been crocheting (blankets) since the beginning of this year, and I'm still learning, so I used a very, very beginner pattern. I'm interested in joining this swap, BUT I wouldn't want anyone to be disappointed in what they got from me! So I'm going to include a link to a picture of the two I made this week. I'm happy for you (and anyone else joining the swap) to let me know if it would be better for me to wait to join until I can make something a little more complex! I won't join unless I get the ok from you. My feelings WON'T be hurt if you say no. ;)
