Cashmere Teddy

These last couple of weeks I have been working on a present for my friend who is due to have a baby in June. They decided not to find out the sex of the baby so I was trying to find something that was suitable for either a boy or a girl. Although I started working on a blanket I realised that I would still be working on it this time next year so I changed my mind and made a lovely cashmere teddy, similar to one I made for Belle before she was born.



Part way through........



Belle's bear is the one on the left but I decided that the legs were a little short so adapted the pattern this time round. It is very 'home made' but that is the point so I am quite pleased. I now have a few weeks to sort out making a card - paper crafting is another huge passion of mine but I just haven't had time to do anything lately. I have grand plans to do scrap booking of Belle's pictures but need to have a bit of time to get started. Another one to add to the list.....

Oh WOW - those teddys are just beautiful. Would love a copy of the pattern as and when you have time to scan and send thur. They are so perfect Spangles, I love them. I think it was a good idea to extend the legs.
