Cat bookmark


My elder son said he needed some new funs in his reading and studying. Oh, yes, he likes to have something unique and something very funny ;o)) So, me and Ala were working on knitted cat bookmarks. They are made from acrylic yarn, so if my son gets dirty he can toss them in the washer. He said the bookmarks are really fun and great to mark place in his books.
The bookmarks are worked up quite quickly (some hours) and they are quite easy to knit, using mostly stockinette stitches to create the items.
pattern:our own creation

Sunny Teddy Bear

Today I would like to show my knitted teddy bear from an adorable Jean Greenhowe knitting patterns collection "Jean Greenhowe's Traditional Favourites". I think the teddy is a perfect project for advanced knitters and the teddy has been designed to look like the teddies from my childhood. He is traditional in appearance the design.


This little guy is knit with yellow acrylic yarn with 2.5 mm needles.


I made one little modification in the pattern - my teddy bear has bigger eyes.



I really enjoyed working with the pattern, it knitted up so nicely! My teddy's name is Promyczek (Sun Ray) because of his yellow body. The seated Teddy measures 22 cm (8.7 inch) from the base of the body to the top of the head.
Pattern: Jean Greenhowe's Traditional Favourites
Yarn: DK 100% acrylic 300 m = 100 g
