I am a sucker for a doll or a teddy bear. There's no way around it, doesn't matter that I am a Grandma, I still like dolls and bears. I have one little 5 yr. old g-daughter, the other g-kids are getting too big for little toys, darn it, so Avery gets stuck with whatever I make whether she likes it or not. So she is getting this Teddy Afghan for Christmas this year and I got to thinking that maybe it wouldn't hurt if I got started on it now, you know just to be on the safe side so it would be finished in time for Christmas. The link below has the pattern for it and it really is very simple. But I must admit I do have one problem, Avery's favorite colors are pink and purple. I could see a pink bear but I'm not so sure about pink and purple, but that is what she likes so that is what she'll get. I hope you have better colors choices than I do. Enjoy

Cute teddyghans...you must be the most organized person to start on Christmas presents now. Kudos to you!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day and thanks for the pattern link ;-)
Maybe you can use different shades of the colors to give some contrast....like maybe a deeper pink and a light lavender or vice versa.... I think it will be beautiful with pink/purple. Can't wait to see it!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, the cuteness!!!
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm thinking pink and purple will be nice together. Can't believe you're already thinking about Christmas! :)
ReplyDeleteMolly, you come up with the cutest things to crochet! With all the cutesies you make for Avery, I'll bet she will like dolls & bears always ... just like her Gramma Molly! Are you going to make a matching afghan for her dolly? You could make that one in the 'opposites' (purple where pink is, & vice versa, on Avery's 'ghan). Can't wait to see the finished product. Then again, I do NOT want Christmas to arrive too quickly. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHow about a pink bear with a purple bow in "her" hair? That way you have both colors she likes.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, what did you use to get your scrolling widgets?
Oh my goodness Molly, this little "bearghan" is just adorable! I too love teddy bears and dolls even though I'm "past" the playing with them stage. LOL I've got a couple of greatnieces that these would be so precious for. Thanks girlfriend!
ReplyDeleteHi Molly,
ReplyDeleteI think its a good idea starting on Christmas gifts early! I just love these teddy ideas! My daughter had a purple teddy off her Nan years ago. Just love these Teddy Afghans.
Beautiful job.
Hugs to you thinking of you Suex
OMG....this is just the cutest project ever! I'm starting on one today. My sister is having a girl in June and this will be the perfect shower gift for her next month.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link!!!!!!
That is a really cute afghan! I have an almost 6 y.o granddaughter (fave colour is purple) who would LOVE that!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog.. nice "meeting" you. :)
Such a cute pattern. Any idea on the final size of the afghan?
ReplyDeleteHi Molly! I can't find a way to email you, so I'm asking here... I am over to Crochet Soiree, because I finished my CAL Flower Scarf.. And from there, I have no idea what I'm doing! I don't know how to post, or add, or submit ANYTHING... Totally lost, and so far the little video isn't helping me. Can you help me? ~tina
ReplyDeleteHi Molly!... I figured it out!! I don't know how, and I can't believe it, but I DID! Thanks anyway, and I look forward to more CALs there! That was fun! Maybe I'll post about my scarf on Blue Monday??.. not sure.. I'll think on that. Maybe I'll do another scarf or two for Christmas! ~tina
ReplyDeleteThose are so sweet Molly. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThese are wonderful!! My 7 year old daughter would love these.
