Teddy Bear Seeds

[susandennis]

It is always so much fun to get a new shipment of teddy bear yarn.  All yarn is fun but when you are making sweaters or afghans or hats or socks you pretty much need to worry about how the finished item will look with your other clothes and/or your furniture. 

I remember some kind soul made my Mom a crochet lap robe that she used constantly.  It was the ugliest thing on the face of the earth.  Goodwill would have said 'no, thank you' but it kept Mom's feet warm and it was a perfect size.  Finally, when I could stand it no more, I went to Target and bought her a beautiful lap robe and told her that she could use the ugly thing when I was gone but it was going to live in the closet when I visited.  I never saw it again.  Whew.

The yarn I use for my teddy bears has to be machine washable, soft and, it helps, if it is not too expensive.  All that is for the bears.  For me, it needs to be in wonderful colors.  A wide variety of wonderful colors.  My eyes demand it.  Today's bounty makes my eyes very happy.
