Spring Fever!

As a new year has come upon us quickly, we can't help but want Spring to rush in as well. So, in lieu of looking out of windows at fresh-fallen snow, we invite you to have a look at a couple of new Spring-Inspired KNITTING PATTERNS we will soon be offering on our site! Rhonda Potteet is adding pattern-designing to her repertoire! She currently has two patterns available, and you can expect more from her in the very near future!

Rhonda has also created these beautifully cabled, delicate, soft, baby-friendly leggings. They are so versatile, they fit ages 6 months up to 5T! They make perfect boot toppers/cuffs for older toddlers, as well. They are made from many tiny stitches, so they are lightweight, yet keep bare legs warm. They come in a perfect shade of mint.

Merry Crochetmas!

For three days only, we are auctioning a very unique, very primitive snowman! Sue Aucoin hand crocheted this snowman out of 100% spun wool, and then put him through a process know as felting, fulling and or boiling wool. This process shrinks the piece giving it a more solid, thicker effect. SNoWMaN is 18" tall from the top of his hat to the tips of his toes and he is thread jointed in his arm and legs. He doesn't just hang from wire on his back, he'll also sit. His face is embroidery.. and a little shading added for detail. His hat is stitched on. He wears a fabric collar. SNoWMaN brings with him his Christmas tree and WiSH sign. He has been made to look passed down. This quality-made, unique item is a perfect addition to any primitive décor, which we hope will be treasured for years to come. Hurry before he's gone! Merry Christmas and thanks for your consideration! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=281228806906

Winter in the Works.

We can't help but still be hung-up on Autumn, soaking in the comforting aromas and inspiring colors. But, we have managed to make time preparing for winter and getting in the mode for everything Christmasy and cheerful.

This is a peek of the types of wearables you can expect from Thread Bears® this upcoming winter season. Chunky or aran knits, multitudes of cables, and cheerful colors are in the works! Rhonda Potteet had made this Pomegranate-hued, Pompom Cabled Cap for her daughter to get into Winter-mode.



We'll keep you posted for when you can expect knits like these, along with festive home décor and one of a kind thread crocheted bears from Thread Bears®. If you would like to view Rhonda's other Autumn creations, you may do so here.
