secrets bear from crochet a day 2007 calendar?
Help! I cleverly carried the pattern with me while working on the Crochet Bear pattern on the subway. I have somehow lost the pattern, probably on the said subway. Can anyone send me the info? It is a very simple pattern, basically a round body, with attached head and limbs, and it is making me crazy!

That kind of emblem will be copyrighted. If you contact the team they will know what if any such items are legally available. If you want to make up your own, for your personal use (not for sale), then you can just google for an image of their logo, blow it up, and make your own pattern.What I suggest is crocheting the bear and then sewing the sweater with an appliqué for the logo. Multi-color crochet is possible, but IMO it never looks particularly nice when you’re trying to do logos.There are many teddy bear patterns available. Here are some I found with a quick search:http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/cchs-teddy.html?r=1http://www.allfreecrafts.com/crochet/teddy-bear.shtmlhttp://www.allfreecrafts.com/crochet/teddy-bear-overalls.shtml (comes with pattern for shirt–might be able to modify it to a sweater)

make two pieces and use the mattress stitch to sew them together…mattress stitch is virtually invisible because it is worked like a “zipper” from side to side, one piece to the other, and when the stitches are cinched they disappear. Look up crochet mattress stitch in an online search to see how to do it. Amigurumi is generally worked in one piece, so I see your concern, but who says it can’t be worked in 2 pieces and sewn together? As an afterthought, it might even look super cute if the two pieces were sewn together with whipstitch, showing the stitches

When I first launched my website, I put EVERYTHING on there and in a year, it had distilled itself down to 2 things that I enjoyed making and sold well. There was a 3rd item that sold great, but turned out to be a pain to make in large quantities. People gravitate towards items they would not be able to make themselves. They should not be able to identify the components, meaning no embellishments that they could buy in Jo-Anns or hobby lobby. Make your own wherever possible. No printed patterns! Save that for your own use. It also helps if the item is useful.Some things are fun to make but nobody would bother to own them if they hadn’t made it themselves, or of someone special hadn’t made it for them.Custom is fun, but most of them really do want to pick an item from a list. That means have stock ready and lots of professional looking photos. Have a nice clean website layout. Spelling counts!I used Ebay at first, to test new product lines and build up clientele, and to get rid of returned items. It’s also a great way to learn the ins and outs of shipping. I would never have known that the Priority Mail boxes are free and that I could do the postage from home and leave the boxes for my carrier to pick up. I haven’t stood in line at the post office in years! I charged enough to cover the Ebay fees. Now I just use my own website, but I still use Paypal to process the credit cards. 99% of my customers pay by credit card. I also pay $7.50 a month for my website plus $9.00 a year for my dot com name. So you will have those expenses no matter what. You just have to charge enough to cover it. I tried Etsy but nobody shops there except the other crafters who list there. They don’t advertise except to encourage their members to post spam all over the place, so customers don’t trust the site even if they find it through search engines. Many of the shops are sloppy and unprofessional so it brings down the value for everyone..

If you have a job, start with your co-workers. Just bring some to work to show them and you may find yourself getting lots of orders. Word of mouth may spread and if you begin to see lots of interest,then definitely rent a table at a craft fair. Start with a local fair where the tables aren’t too expensive and see how well you can do.

We used to make a dog out of a clothes hanger and yarn. You loop the yarn around a 3 inch(approx) frame about 12 times, then tie it in the center to make a puff=type thing. Then you tie the puff onto the clothes hanger that has been bent into the shape of whatever you are making.hmmmmm………… it’s much easier to describe with a picture, but oh well……….

Eileens is a good glue for what you are describing. It’s thick drys pretty fast and can be found at Wal Mart and most craft stores… Good Luck !

Yeah their fake. They say they are real sheepskin but you can tell it’s not the same as uggs.

You’ve got it right. You increase each side every 6th row until you have 36. (Row 11, 17,23,etc) If you are having a really hard time doing the increase at the end of the row, you can put it at the beginning of the next row instead. When you stitch your seams together, you really won’t notice the difference.

Here is a pattern for a duck. Maybe you could just crochet some of the rows the color of the shirt you need instead of making two pieces separate.http://www.canadianliving.com/crafts/crochet/cute_crocheted_duck.phphttp://planetmfiles.com/2009/02/27/free-crochet-duck-pattern/http://www.thriftyfun.com/tf38652546.tip.htmlHope you can find what you need, Good luck.
