A Cute Cow At Last

Several of you have asked about a cow. I'm thrilled to announce she's ready to meet you. Not sure why a cow took me so long (especially since there are lots of cows lounging in my kitchen).

Love those bears. New Polar Bear Crochet Pattern

Can't help it. Love them. Especially polar bears. I was lucky enough to see two polar bears this month while visiting my son in New Mexico. They didn't have cute hats of course.

Love those bears

Can't help it, I'm a bear lover. So I had to have another one. This sweet cub is approx. 16 inches tall from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet. His pattern comes with instructions to make both the flower and the bow. So make him in your favorite colors or match a baby's nursery for a sweet gift.

Favorite Teddy Bear is made with two strands of worsted weight yarn held together throughout. You will need to know basic crochet stitches (i.e., single crochet, double crochet) and how to crochet in the round.

I'm thrilled to introduce my new Witch pattern
