Clothing Teddys


There's Lynda working hard, well not really, showing some shop owners our patterns which is not hard since who doesn't love to talk about what they do. The New England Needlework Assoc. show is growing and there was lots of them to see.

See anyone you know? It was my first time there. All the shoppers are looking, touching, talking, soaking it all in. You wouldn't believe the amount of knitting at the show. Sometimes it's hard to believe there is one more thing to design. But of course there is. At least I keep telling myself that as I wander around.

These lovely knitters came to see me at the Fiber Loft store in Harvard MA. Over morning coffee we had a lovely chat and I got to talk about the construction of my garments. I brought 2 suitcases of sample sweaters which I thought were interesting to knit up. Fun, fun, fun for me. They seemed to enjoy themselves too. We had a class in the afternoon to learn Top Down knitting and everyone took home a tiny teddy bear sweater. Clothing teddy bears seems to be my mission.
Home for now and I'm going to enjoy it!

  2. Welcome back. I'm going to have to try one of these teddy sweaters. Though I currently have 50+ bears on my couch - not sure I can knit fast enough to clothe them all.....
