Hi everyone :)
I am so excited to share that after what feels like many moons, I have finished and uploaded the Happypotamus crochet pattern to my Ravelry shop!

:: Pigwig the Piglet Knitting Pattern ::

 

Hi everyone!

I am so excited to reveal my latest pattern.....Welcome.... Pigwig! 

Pigwig is a girl piglet, who is dressed in her prettiest frock and shoes, with stripy stockings...she is knitted, virtually seamlessly, with only the smallest seam on her body and two small seams on her dress.

She stands around 30cm tall if knitted in the recommended yarns...

 I have enjoyed creating this little piglet very much, and have tried to make the pattern clear, using many photos and step by step directions...I really hope you will have fun knitting her :)

 I am running a Pigwig KAL on my Heidi Bears Designs Ravelry Group, so if you would like to join in, please post on the thread...it can be found here

The pattern costs USD 6.00 and can be bought in my Ravelry Shop.

I look forward to meeting you in the KAL!

Happy Knitting!

All you have to do is post on the thread here, what your answer is....what do you think this pattern is? The competition ends when the pattern launches...details are on the Heidi Bears Group page...
I will randomly choose three people who guessed correctly, who will each receive a free copy of the pattern...all you have to do is post your answer before launching time...*cough*...er...and guess correctly!)

I have worked very hard on this pattern and really, really hope that you will all love it!

♥ Heidi Bears Designs Ravelry Group Launch ♥

I have finally launched a Ravelry group for Heidi Bears Designs! In order to celebrate this, I am having a group launch promotion on Ravelry for my patterns...50% off the usual price. The promotion will require you to enter a coupon at the checkout stage (keep a look-out for a small tag icon with the legend "use a coupon code" at the checkout point, and enter the coupon code HEIDIBEARSLOVE, which should automatically deduct 50% from your purchase price! It's a small way for me to share the ♥ with everyone :) The promotion will run from Monday the 7th of January 2013, starting at 19H00 GMT and will end on the 9th of January 2013 at 19H00 GMT....so go and diarise it now folks! :)

I am very excited about the group...I will be launching new patterns, promotions and generally hanging out and living the yarn addiction life with all of you...

I have been working hard on several new designs, that will be rolled out over the next few months...today I spent some time dyeing a specific color set for one of the designs...here is a pic...can you guess from the colors what it will be? (Hint*: this little person can be found lazing about in parts of Africa...)

 

The yarn is a wonderful squishy, soft 100% superwash merino in a DK weight...it's my favorite yarn at the moment to knit with...

 

The reddish pink color is for a different design, and will be used most likely for shoes :)

  

It's a beautiful day here at the coast today and perfect weather for knitting and spending the last days of our holiday with family...

What are you knitting at the moment?
