I finished my Teddy Bear Baby Blanket this morning! I am very pleased with the finished project. The blanket measures 36 inches by 40 inches. The seed stitch border really sets off the reverse stockinette stitch teddy bear pattern.

Yesterday, I finished my first pair of regulation socks for Socks for Soldiers, including weaving in the ends.
These are very long socks! I now have them washed and they are currently drying in the dryer. I need to run to the store and pick up a few extra “goodies” to put in the package and write my letter to the soldier who will receive the socks. Then, I should be ready to package everything up and send it off to Sarge at SFS.
Here’s a picture of the finished socks:
Socks for CharlotteSocks for Charlotte
I knit two little pairs of socks for Charlotte shortly after she was born. In fact, while I was visiting at the hospital, my DS traced one of Charlotte’s footprints so that I could take it home a make a pair of socks for her little feet.
Her little foot measured 3 inches from the tip of her big toe to her heel. I used some sock yarn I had on hand in a variegated shades of pink and a size US 1 (2.25 mm) 32 inch long circular. The socks were knit using Magic Loop, two at a time. I knit them from the cuff down. These little socks knit up quickly and I made a second pair using another skein of yarn that was a light pink color. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the second pair. DIL reported that these socks stayed on her feet when most do not.
I wrote up the pattern for these socks. Each pair takes only 10 g of sock yarn, so it would be a great way to use up leftover yarn from your bigger sock knitting projects. 🙂

I have not been actively blogging since about 2014. Life has a way of intervening from time to time, and I stepped away from the task of updating my blog and website to focus on other things happening in my life.
I just finished updating my website pages with a new theme and color scheme. I have also updated links throughout. As often happens links change over time or become inactive. I hope you find the updates pleasing and that you will continue to check in to my blog from time to time as I plan on making regular posts going forward.
My next post will be the first of a series of posts discussing swatches. Swatches are one of those things that you learn to appreciate over time and I will be sharing what I have learned as I have grown as a knitter.
I absolutely LOVE that blanket!
Love your Teddy Bear pattern. Can I possibly have a copy of your pattern to knit for my son? Thank you. God Bless.
I adapted the pattern I found on Knitting on the Net — here’s the link to the pattern: Teddy Bear Baby Blanket. I used a different weight yarn with a different gauge than what is called for in the pattern and then just worked out the number of blocks and rows I needed to make the size I wanted.
What circular needle size and length did you use? Also, where did you find the peaches and cream yarn? I went to Michael’s and couldn’t find it. I love the modifications you made to the original pattern! Gonna try and duplicate yours.
I used US 7 (4.50 mm) needles – standard 24 inch length. I ordered the Peaches & Cream yarn directly from Elmore Pisgah Yarn Company — they’re great to work with. Happy Knitting!
