About Me
- Name: Justy
- Location: BC, Canada
I'm the proud Momma of "Son" who was born at home in Aug 2003.
I discovered eBooks back in 2005 when I got my iPaq 2490. Once I discovered I could have as many books as I wanted with me all the time without breaking my back I was hooked. The best thing is the development of eInk eBook Readers, specifically the Cybook and BeBook. Much nicer on my eyes, I don't think I'll ever go back to paper books again. In fact I still have a paperback to finish that I started in December 2007, just before I got my Cybook. I may have to find it in eBook format. :)

Just a simple little blog to talk about my knitting, my cats, my wonderful son, and perhaps other things in my life.

Gots a Cold :(
I see my shameless plea for knitted teddy bear patterns hasn't resulted in any suggestions. I got a few from the KnitList though, but none were doubled so I now have an even bigger selection to choose from! Here are the suggestions I got from the KnitList in no particular order:
- single sheet pattern from Fiber Trends for felted bears
- "World of Toys" is said to have several animal patterns
- the Bear Brains enterprises animals are supposed to be fun, one knitter has made the Whidbey with plans to make the Julius
- the "Knitter's Stash" has a great teddy bear pattern which is all knit in 1 piece using a slip stitch technique....you can also make a bunny or a cat from the same pattern
- "Save the ChildrenTeddy" by Vivian Hoxbro - this one looks very promising, I love the lack of sewing involved :) Only one big main piece, then the arms.
- Erika Knight's "Simple Knits for Cherished Babies" has a knit bear, the person that sent me this suggestion liked the pattern and the finished Teddy a lot.
- Debbie Bliss "Toy Knits" also has knit bears
If this triggers any memories of knit bears from the past, or future plans please let me know even if you didn't to the knitting :) I'd love to hear from anyone that has seen one of these knit bears on person and can tell me the goods and the bads about it and the pattern.
