They Did it!

To be honest I never thought that they would it seemed like an impossible task but OCC Barton upon Humber have indeed smashed the Teddy Puppet record with an amazing 16,099 bears!

Shared from their Facebook page....

Wow, what a day!!!!
After months of knitting and crocheting the day eventually arrived for all the bears to gather for their final celebration together before they begin the concluding part of their amazing journey to needy children around the world.
It was an amazing sight to see all the bears together in a never ending line of 16,099 record breaking bears. Congratulations Team Teddy, you really are awesome!
Thank you so much to everyone who has supported our Teddy Bear Challenge and made the impossible 'possible'. We have been overwhelmed by the generosity and commitment of Team Teddy and by the willingness of all our helpers... you have proved that extraordinary things can be achieved when ordinary people work together. Thank you to each and every one of you.
There are so many people who helped today with the mammoth task of setting out (and clearing away) all the bears and verifying the attempt... we are so grateful to you all, and also to long distance members of Team Teddy for sending us your best wishes.
I will post pictures as soon as the photographer sends me them (I didn't get chance to take any myself!!!).
I hope you are all extremely proud of what we've achieved together... 16,099 children will receive a teddy created and sent with love. Xx

I'm glad that I was able to help out in a very small way but each and every Ted counts. You can read about the appeal here and thank you to everyone who took part. :)

October Stash-Buster Party

I don't know if you've noticed but we are back to monthly stash parties which I've found works best for everyone.  It means that the party is always open for you to link your fabulous creations, I have even managed to get a code for the stash button over there on the right sidebar which will hopefully make it easier for you to instal the button.

Thank you to everyone who shared their lovely makes in September here are your favourites...

Dancing On the Waves.

Look at the waves....

I think it's amazing and so cleverly designed, when I saw this I thought there's no way I'm going to be able to do this, but I did and whats more it was fun too.

There are mistakes but I don't care I'm not a perfectionist and the person that this blanket is destined for won't notice any slight imperfections

This square  was designed by Atty from Atty's and it's the fourth square for the Last Dance on the Beach CAL 

I used poundstretcher Aran yarn in a petrol blue shade it looks much brighter in the photographs because they are basking in the sun. This yarn is labelled as Aran but works up like chunky. I used a 5mm hook and it took 160 grams for the three squares.
You can find the pattern and the video tutorial here

Have a great weekend! 

Look out for the The October Stash party it will be up and running tomorrow.
