Even though this is a style blog, every once in awhile I like to throw in a dose of pure crafty goodness. This adorable little teddy bear is something I recently crocheted for my new nephew who’s due any day now. I didn’t have a pattern – I just made it up as I went along. He’s cute, cuddly and washable. (For those interested, the yarn is KnitPicks Shine Sport, my favorite yarn for toys). I’m considering one day opening an Etsy shop where I sell hand-made toys, but I still haven’t decided if I would enjoy it, or if it would take the fun out of crafting for me. We shall see.
Don’t forget that you still have ’til midnight to enter my Dansko Necci giveaway! I’ll announce the winner tomorrow.
That’s adorable! Now that I’m comfortable with reading patterns & am much better at knitting (than I was the first time I tried to crochet) I think I need to give crocheting a whirl!
you just made it up as you went along?! wow its wonderful!! im sure it will be a big hit!
hi, i’ve been reading your blog anony. for a while now, just wanted to let you know that your posts are really great! i wish i was as thrifty/crafty as you. that bear is so cute!
You should go for it! I just did. If you decide it’s not for you, just go ahead and close your shop. The nice thing is it’s up to you; you can pack your store full or put in just as few as keeps you happy!
