My YouTube channel about fiber

I will add very soon the new link for the third episode.

The combination of purl and knit stitches and all the beautiful designs made by Kristen.

I bought her book a few weeks ago and I was so surprised to see how beautiful patterns can be made with only 2 stitches.

I'm a knitter since a few decades now and I learned a lot with the book that you can buy like an ebook but she is selling also a printed version.

Here is the link where you can visit her Etsy store.

Two new patterns just released on Etsy.

I received a large request to make a pattern for a beret style hat, and finally I did it.
So, I decided to add instructions for a knitting dress. romper and a beret style hat.
The pattern contains only accessories, not the teddy bear.

Here is the cover page and the link where you can purchase it.

A Photos Day

I had to update my artist picture, for the URSA Contest first, and other sites.
My husband took them...poor him. I hate to be photographed, and on 80 pictures, only a few are ok...
but you will see the difference.
For my artist picture, I have to be an artist and with my cat Figaro, it was me with myself....LOL

And with my Figaro .... no stress at all....

This is a pattern that will bring your own creativity to a new level, 
you can do what you want with this pattern, change colors, change style, everything can be changed. 
Your creativity will be your only limit, but it will always give you a great bear.
The important feature in this creative pattern is a special filling; your teddy bear will be pose able.
You will need cotton thread and a crochet.

Work in Progress

I decided to design a new teddy bear for my patterns.
The process is longer than usual because I'm doing a few teddy bears from the new pattern.

Yesterday, I took pictures of 2 of them. Four have been made.
Not formal pictures, but I liked to show them in my studio....

And I used the free Editor Photoscape, recommended a fellow  teddy bear artist.

Today, I will write the pattern, the draft...

I used a new technique, not new, but new for my little ones.

The teddy bear can take any positions with the filling I used.

The result is surprising and great.

Thanks for reading.

Ebooklet pulled from the market

I have to pull the Ebooklet from the market because of people misunderstanding the idea of the booklet ; they wanted a pattern included in it; however, because the technique is available for all types of teddy bears in thread,yarn, knitted or crochet, I did not add a specific pattern which was well explained in the item description. People could used it on other patterns from other artists but it looks like the new idea was not understood by some....

I plan to add the personal technique in the book I'm writing now that will most likely be published next year where it will include patterns and "how to".

I'm feeling sorry for that, but I had to take this decision to avoid further problems which are taking time from my beloved teddy bears and eating up the much needed time for the book. If you are still interested to buy the "how to" ... of course NOT including the pattern please feel free to contact me.
