    Smile Saying a Big Hello from Somerset West in South Africa!

    Hello Everyone

    I stumbled onto this website by accident. I was looking for Disney patterns of Winie the Pooh to crochet for my twin girls who simply adore the characters. In my 'free time' I enjoy making toys for them.

    I grew up in South Africa and I also stayed in the UK for several years. My husband and I came back to South Africa nearly 3 years ago.

    I enjoy knitting, crochet and cross stitching.

    Hoping to make friends with all of you and to get lots and lots of advice on different projects.

    Have a nice day.

    Hi T4T. I'm new here too. I love to crochet when I get the time. I love to sew as well. I'm kinda living vicariously by looking at all the lovely things on this forum right now. Anyway Welcome!

    Hi Casa. Thank you for your warm welcome message. You have such a beautiful name. Crochet is a wonderful way to relax when we 'get time'. I have some many projects that I still want to do and so little time to do them all in. Next I am hoping to start making some Christmas decorations for our tree. The twins are sure to destroy the ones that I collected years ago and in some ways I feel it will make it special to make a variety of ornaments for the tree. At the moment I am making 'Barney, BJ and Baby Bop' for the twins, I've finished the knitting now just the assembly is waiting. Hope you will see many lovely patterns on the forum.

    Thank you for the welcome message. I mysef have not tried making any doilies, there are quite delicate and requires fine workmanship. Sometime in the future though I would like to try and crochet some cross bookmarks which I found online. I remember seeing them as a child and I just loved them.

    Hello! How are you today? Filet doilies are easy to make... just need patience. Since I read e-reader I have e-bookmarks.

    Mister 'Cold' is paying me a visit, I am on the way to getting another cold. We've already had some many during this winter time. I am currently in bed, hoping to sew the Barney toys together and not taking time to rest. Suppose I will do once I am really exhausted. I've not tried Filet crochet yet, my mum used to make loads of table cloths and wall hangings in this style. I don't have e reader. I will still get around to Filet as well, I am trying to learn as much as I can and hoping to teach the girls when they get a little bit older. I do have a lot of patience especially when it comes to cross stitching. I hope you are well. Enjoy your day.

    Hi toys 4 twins,
    Are you looking for a winnie the pooh toy free pattern to crochet? There are 3 of them on ravelry. You wanted a free patttern right? They also have it on pinterest but I don't think that's free and there's a afghan of winnie the pooh. or did you want a pattern for an ornament?
