It’s a teddy bears’ picnic over here! 😆

After weeks of intense pattern writing, knitting, and testing, I thought I needed a little change of pace! There was a tea party going on the other day on my deck in the forts my grandchildren had built, so I thought my teddies might like to get in on the fun too!

🧸 Remember, we are never too old for teddy bears:
When an adult sleeps with a teddy bear, it is a common and normal way to find emotional comfort, reduce stress, and feel safe. Surveys show that roughly 40% of adults sleep with a plush toy or childhood item!

Do you prefer the traditional brown bear, or are you open to a scrappy, colourful version??

💗Are you smitten with mittens like I am? Or are you a knitter who has not yet taken the step of knitting them?

My new Cable Braid Mittens pattern provides row-by-row written instructions for knitting a left and a right mitten, along with numerous photos and 2 videos to help you create the afterthought thumbs, to make it as easy as possible! 👍 And … it includes the bonus pattern for Cable Braid Fingerless Mitts!

I knit mittens using 3 double pointed needles, but some knitters prefer to use their circular needles … and some of my pattern testers even used the “2 at a time” method! I’ve really got to try that on my next pair!

My newest pattern has options to knit both, so you don’t really have to choose!😉 And there are videos included in the pattern to take you through it from casting on to binding off or making a seamless Kitchener stitch join.

Billy is getting very excited about my pattern release tomorrow … he even insisted on doing some modelling for me! 😂 🐶

Coming tomorrow … Cable Braid Headband and Cable Braid Mittens (with bonus Fingerless Mitts). They pair very nicely together … or you can pair the mittens with my Cable Braid Beanie and Cable Braid Beret for an awesome set!!

Billy headband is made with malabrigo Rasta 🩵💙

Is this set calling your name?? 😉

Despite loving to knit with all the pretty, colourful yarn that I can’t seem to resist buying, I know some of you prefer to wear a neutral colour. I know this because I used to be that person that only wore beige!! 🤦‍♀️

As I have aged I have come out of my shell of wanting to blend into the background, and can now say, “Screw it … I’m going to have some fun with my wardrobe!” 🤣

Pictured is my Cable Braid Beanie (pattern released last February) and my Cable Braid Mittens (pattern coming Tuesday … along with my Cable Braid headband).

Whether you’re a knitter looking for some great market prep patterns or a potential customer wanting to keep the chill off this coming winter (and look great at the same time!!), I’ve got something for you coming on Tuesday!!

So, tell me … are you a bold extrovert who loves to wear all the bright colours, or are you more of a shy introvert like I was (and still am sometimes!) who prefers anonymity? And what makes us this way anyways?? 🤔
