Pattern includes detailed instructions (in English) a materials list, photos and notes and tips to help you finish your bear.

Babies at Wool and Sheep Festival

I took these pictures back in September when we headed to Jefferson, Wisc. for the annual Wool and Sheep Festival. It was a fun day with good friends and lots of fiber. One of the best parts of the day was seeing all the new babies (and I mean new, this baby is just a few minutes old).

New Teddy Bear Back Pack Pattern

Perfect for trips to Grandma's house. Made with worsted weight yarn (two strands held together), a J hook and basic crochet stitches. Please remember, yarn stretches so unless you plan on lining your bag and straps, I wouldn't put anything real heavy in your Teddy Bear Back Pack.

Makes me sad

I hate writing this, but I don't want my customers (or anyone for that matter) to get taken advantage of or mislead. 

There was a copy of one of my patterns on eBay this week...I don't sell patterns on eBay. 

Needless to say, the buyer paid more then she needed to for something that she soon discovered was stolen. 

"Buyers beware", a good old saying.

What's New September 4, 2013

Now that our company has gone home and the house is finished, it's time to get back to work.

Besides crocheting, I love to knit and have had a couple knitting patterns in the making for quite a while, but this week I'm determined to make some progress.  Although I have several in the making, I'm pretty sure the first one I'll be introducing will be...a bear of course. So far so good, but still a long way to go. Hopefully some knitted "cuties" will be in the making soon.

Happy Knitting.
