The Baby Bear Thumbless Mittens pattern is finally ready for release!!  The pattern is available for purchase in my Ravelry Store

These Mittens were designed to fit my Little Bear and are sized to fit 3-9 month olds.  The mittens measure 5 1/2 inches long (including the fold-able, extra-long cuff) and have a 4 1/2 inch circumference.

They are the ideal last minute gift for any new addition(s) to the family.  A pair of mittens requires less then 50 yards of the suggested yarn and a scant amount of contrast yarn for the claws.

These mittens are sure to please both parents and babies.  There easy slip on design and stretchy, extra long cuff make them easy to put on and keep on!

Christmas Decor: Winter Snowballs . . . frost free!

A NEWER VERSION OF THIS PATTERN IS AVAILABLE! 


With hunting season in full swing here in Canada I am officially a "hunting widow."  That means it's time to start decorating for Christmas!!

This year I am hoping for a more authentic and handmade Holiday Season.  So I went through my knitting patterns notebook to find a few decor items.  The knitted snowballs have always been one of my favourites!  I blogged about them on a previous site that has since gone off line so I thought it would be fun to share this little pattern here.

My children absolutely love them . . . even if they are suppose to be just for decoration :)



*Please do keep in mind that they are designed as decorations and not toys*
