BearyAnn’s WebYarn

I have been recovering from surgery the past several weeks. So to keep my mind and hands busy I have been knitting bears. Two bears are currently looking for new homes and are posted on an online handmade webstore called “Etsy”.       These bears may be seen on my etsy page.

A baby shower was planned for one of my niece’s last week.  When I got the invitation I remembered seeing a pattern for a bootie bouquet that would be perfect for her. I searched and searched until I found the pattern available for purchase and download at e-Patterns Central.  (pattern link here, I get no [...]

I am trying to prefect my knitted bear making so this week I made 2 more bears. Using the same pattern and same needle size but adding a strand of eyelash yarn to one here is what I came up with.   Despite the fact the bears are knitted, you will notice this one is [...]

I was trying to put away some of the stack of patterns I had accumulated when I got distracted by one. It was from Crochet World Magazine,  April 2010.  I dropped everything I was doing and grabbed the supplies. This tote or little purse looks like a castle. Open it to see the moat and [...]

I have been trying to get organized.  Trying being the key word here. I pull out everything so I can sort them into smaller groups, then eliminate from there. Instead I pull out everything and get excited over what I found and start another project! Here are a couple of things that I’ve done with [...]

I am building up a library of digital patterns.  I have many more patterns than I will ever be able to complete, but you never know when you will suddenly decide to make a teddy bear for a barbie doll or a 7 foot round afghan. Some favorite FREE sites I check daily and save [...]
