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.

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 have a teddy bear addiction that surpasses my knit/crochet addiction. Oh, don’t worry, I don’t suffer. I enjoy every minute of it. Unfortunately this house is not big enough to support both habits.
